Isn't this somewhat contradictory? I mean presumably the so-called checks and balances will require some sort of overwhelming majority to make big changes, so in order to make a government care only about a particular person or group, a sizable majority of people not in the favoured group must also somehow be persuaded that favoring this particular group is somehow good.

Not necessarily. In the Democracy variants that you seem to believe are inherently implied in a good system, they merely need to be convinced that the particular bill that warps things is a Good Idea. You don't even need to do that much, really; fraudulent votes or corrupt/misguided representatives could also serve the same purpose.
However, democracy variants are not the only forms of government that have been suggested in this thread.
