That's your goal. I don't share it.
I want equal opportunity, not equal outcome. We will never have equal outcome because we're all different and that's a good thing.
And I don't care if you're disadvantaged because of a thousand different reasons. None of us are born equal. We have no control over that.
What we can do is make sure that the bar is the same for everyone. That's the only equality I'm interested in.
> recognizing inequality is part of how we get there
That is a terrible approach because you have no idea if the inequality arose out of unjustified discrimination, innate differences in talent, effort invested, or a thousand other things.
I would much rather focus on making sure that the bar is set to the same height for everyone, regardless of color, sex, age, ethnicity, religion, or any other damned thing people decide to group themselves or others by.
I should have been more specific, but if it makes you feel any better: I did mean "equal opportunity" and not "equal outcome."
Why did you write something so vitriolic based on an ambiguity? But ultimately, yes, my fault for being ambiguous.
Equality is the goal; recognizing inequality is part of how we get there.
