Equity by its normal dictionary definition is great.
But as the critical race theory worldview defines it, "equity" involves unequal treatment of people and discrimination (decisions made about how to treat people) on the basis of race.
The idea is to retroactively create equal outcomes, not equal opportunities in the present.
The problem is: a society can't create either equal outcomes or equal opportunities by intentionally discriminating one way or another, since doing so (1) fails to solve problems at their source and (2) creates new problems.
In other words, love is the answer, not hate.

Some want to be of service to other people, some want to be rich so they can buy a yacht. You can't just give yachts to everyone and call that equality. We do need safety net and equal opportunities Personally I think the whole idea of equality is stupid because it just makes people compare their life to others instead of thinking about what they want in life. But again if we have to have equality then it's equal opportunities and more importantly, safety net.
