Equity vs Equality... someone help me out

Equality is we are all afforded the same opportunity/resources regardless of race gender or class but the results or outcome may differ.


Equity is we divide everyone in groups by race or gender or culture and we pass policy or laws to make sure everyone gets the exact same outcome or result.

Your house example is wrong for Equity which is financial Equity. Democratic equity is you buy that house make it real nice and pay down your mortgage. I buy a shack do nothing and miss half my payments but we both sell our homes and you get your financial equity or profit and I get the same profit because I'm in the "Home Equity Program" the government has to make sure I get the same profit because I'm a transgender home flipper.

Government is going to steal more money from the people and pay minorities on the reg

This is their thinking

You are asking if equal opportunity is the same as equal outcomes

Equality: every team has an equal opportunity to win the championship.

Equity: regardless of a teams record or of the effort required to achieve it, every team shares equitably in winning the championship.

Equity is just like the word "fair".

It fits right in with words like fairness, egalitarianism, socialism, and Communism.

Many movements in history have tried to close the “fairness gap” between haves and have-nots and so far these efforts have killed more people than any other idea in human history: more than 100 million dead and counting.

Equity is part of the unholy Trinity of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Diversity is defined not by opinion, but by race, ethnicity or sexual identity; equity is no longer the laudable goal of equality of opportunity, but the insistence on equality of outcome; and inclusion is the use of identity-based quotas to attain this misconceived state of equity
