"We need to stop treating privilege as something that needs to be corrected and instead focus on helping those most in need."

That is what equity work focuses on? It's not about tearing down and taking away, but about ensuring equal access and opportunity. It only takes away when unfair access has existed - a common example here are "legacy admissions" for university. Inherited spots, in a nutshell.

You have an outdated view on social justice issues -- in fact dangerously close to a view a classic liberal would hold. Current gestalt moved past this outdated view and is now about equal outcomes.

The ability to work hard is not earned, it is genetic. If equity is our goal, we need to make this ability equivalent across all people. I don't think that's what we want, so the term equity is incorrect.

Try reading comprehension. I said equal access and opportunity, not "equivalent across all people".

Also, [citation needed] on your genetics claim.
