Playing favorites just creates winners, losers, and resentment. Instead, we need to move everyone to a healthier and happier existence and coexistence.

By creating and enforcing a fair playing field, one built on principles, not factions fighting one another. There are a lot of moving parts that need to be addressed, but the main ingredients include protecting people's rights, helping people who are struggling financially become financially independent, and putting systems into place that prevent abuses. This includes enforcing the rules uniformly, not based on minority status or privileged classes. If we don't move to a system that is fair for everyone, all we will be left with is squabbling and conflict.

It does seem to be a dying art, but there are more of us than you think.
For example, we did pass the The Civil Rights Act of 1875, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and those were all based on principles. A lot of people resisted their passage, and still resist it today, but that is the law. President Dwight D. Eisenhower even mobilized the National Guard to force Arkansas to desegregate the schools, which they were refusing to do. And a lot of us today still think that racism, prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination is wrong.
If you think racism is wrong, you have principles. If you think greed and exploitation is wrong, you have principles. If you are surrounded by people who don't have those principles, then it is probably wise to find some new friends and associates.

And even if you have people who don't operate based on principles, you can still count on "what's in it for me" as long as the principles at play lift them up too. Most people are concerned about their own well-being and the well-being of people they care about. If you build a system that allows them to prosper and be happy, they are less likely to be jealous of other groups, which reduces conflict within society.
As long as the system is set up so that everyone can benefit, it does not matter if everyone believes in the principles or not. They will follow the principles because they benefit from it.
