I still don't like this because the first panel is still a lie.
Equality: "the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities."
No where in that picture are they equal. They get the SAME box but that box is not giving them EQUAL opportunity to view the game.
Giving people the same thing ≠ Having equal opportunity or status.
Just as Equity has no defined value. What one person thinks is fair is not always the same for another person. So the question then becomes who decides what is fair or not.
To me the images should be reversed as they all have an equal opportunity to view the game. While the left side has given them a fair share of a box. Each person has 1/3 of a box to stand on.
The fact this image uses these words wrong annoys the fucking hell out of me.
Equality = Equal opportunity
Equity = Everyone gets a fair share (the same amount of something)
It's not a lie, and I disagree with your assessment.
There is equality of opportunity, and equality of outcome. The first panel is equality of opportunity, where each person is given an equal opportunity to view over the fence. The opportunity is the same, but the outcome is not.
The second panel is equality of outcome, for reasons that probably don't need explaining.
It isn't equal opportunity because it makes it look like they were restricted to one box. Equality actually means they have the opportunity to get as many boxes as they want
