> Equity is important As I understand it, “equity” in this content generally refers to equality of outcomes between groups. I don’t see why that is desirable, important, or even possible. Would you explain why you believe that equity is important?

> I don’t see why that is desirable, important, or even possible. Are you okay with being in one of the groups where the outcomes are worse?

  I am not sure what you mean. Would you give me an example?

    I’m not sure what groups you were referring to in your original post, so it would probably be better if you provided the example.

It means equal outcomes for arbitrary groups. We should expect fairly similar outcomes for groups based on arbitrary differences. If we don’t, it should concern us. Non-arbitrary issues should obviously affect outcomes, but the prevalence of melanin should affect skin cancer rates, not incomes.
