Fair, but the benefits can outweigh those harms to some.

Did US slavery cause harm to wealthy, white plantation owners? Sure. But it's hard to argue the exploitation that gave them and generations of their offspring wealth and power harmed them more than it helped.

This is in no way justifying that awful system. Just pointing out that just because it causes harm to everyone does not mean that it makes everyone worse off.
