      No parity. People with similar skills and similar jobs should be paid similar money. Historically that hasn’t be true in tech. Black people were paid less. I looked at my own companies study and they had to do adjustment to get it to parity. Black workers from similar schools were paid less than their white peers with similar experience. While the company I work for pushes dei hard, they wanted to make sure everyone was paid fairly for their work and not skin color.

          No, equity is about paying people the same even if they don’t meet the standard.

              No, that isn’t true at all. Looks at the boxes in the cartoon.

              Equality is giving everyone the same box. That is what Microsoft did.

              Equity: they give people more boxes, but that isn’t what Microsoft did.

              Are you trying to argue that Microsoft shouldn’t black people the same as white people?

            The boxes do not represent money in the picture. They represent opportunity, ie infrastructure and legal system.
