No he’s not.
Equity is saying, even though there is an equal playing field you still aren’t good enough to achieve the same outcome as others so we are just going to give you what they have earned.
In shear numbers there are more white people living in poverty than black people. So what are you going to do about the situation where Lebron James’ son technically qualifies for some equity program while a white kid in a trailer park in West Virginia doesn’t.
All because of the color of their skin.
You’re damn right it’s racism. frick you and your kind for trying to change the definitions. You are poking a bear you shouldn’t poke.

It's not about shear numbers, it's about percentage.
Let's think of an example that works, imagine a bunch of rich elite liberals in Baton Rouge, and a few good upstanding country farm boys in the little settlement of Ethel. Let's say 90% of the disgusting Baton Rouge liberals can afford to get their kids a Bible, and only 25% of the poor farmers in Ethel can do the same. Baton Rouge's population is 224,149, so 22,414 kids go Godless. Ethel's population is 3,584, so 2,688 kids go Godless.
A generation later, and all the kids in Ethel are little Satanists! The 10% of kids in Baton Rouge who didn't have Bibles still had friends who did, and they steered them back to the light. The kids in Ethel weren't as lucky, because more than half of them had no such holy scripture.
The local parish steps in, and they can only afford 10,000 Bibles, so they send 8,930 (89.3%) Bibles to Baton Rouge, and 1,070 (10.7%) of the Bibles to Ethel. After all, it's by the numbers!
But now, an Ethel family says. Those damn liberals in Baton Rouge! Why did they get all the Bibles? We have it worse here! They ought to send us even more Bibles, because our kids are the ones deep in the Stank of Satan!
It's more than equity in the moment, it's the fact that most black people's grandparents or parents lived in radically different times than white people's did, and that has absolutely ruined their current place by no fault of their own. I mean, damn, my mom was the first white student at the school in my hometown. That is NOT that long ago!
Disagreeing with this stuff is just the same old "I got mine, forget everyone else" mentality, the same mentality of people who only care about things when it affects them personally. Oh and about the metaphor I used, if you're not a Bible person, replace the Bibles with guns and the kids turning to Satan with...I guess the kids turning into vegans.
