Rich people got to engage in all the Epstein stuff and are all still free.

Enforcement of laws is a separate issue to the existence of laws.
Remember how Trump was talking about starting for a third term? Which is illegal in the US? Well, they intended to introduce legislation that would allow him to start legally. Problem is that if they did that, Obama could also start. Their solution? Add a clause that it had to be a third term within one term of the previous term, or something like that. Making it illegal for Obama to start but legal for Trump to start.
That’s a law that “exists for no other purpose except to protect/benefit the dominant socioeconomic group”.
A law saying “if you kill a dude for no reason, you’re going to jail” is not, even if oh so often certain class of mostly white guys are exempt from it.
