    If that’s what you think equity looks like then I’d say any judgement of your character was likely spot on.

        Waste of time since your ability to read seems low. Equality ≠ equity

            No. Reductively I’d say equity is a prerequisite for equal opportunity.

                Equity comes out of the idea that people don’t all have the same ability or means to do things. Equity is the leveling of the playing field so that no matter someone’s level of intelligence, economic background, or any other efficiency/deficiency, everyone has the same opportunity to participate.

                Equality gives staircases to everyone. In this case, not everyone can go up a floor. Equity builds ramps, lifts, or both. In this case everyone has an equal opportunity to go up a floor. You can’t have equal opportunity without equity.
