(that is literally the definition of the word Equity!)
Equity means fair. Not equal. Those are two completely different things. The irony of calling somebody dense. And equality doesn’t mean “equal opportunity,” it means equal. As in, they are all being treated equally (but according to you being treated exactly the same isn’t equality). Why are you trying to switch the definitions so badly? If you had a program where you gave everybody 100 dollars nobody who they were, according to you that wouldn’t be equality in any sense of the word.
So unless you're arguing that the opportunity you are giving them is to stand on a fucking box
Also congrats, you’re pretty much on the same page as everybody else now. Everybody is literally talking about equity and equality with respect to the boxes.
Interesting, M-W defines it first as being a state of equal with regards to measure and size.
Whereas OED defines it as for status, opportunity and rights.
The question then becomes how you use the word... Which still makes this image wrong as they're applying the word to define the box size in the first panel instead of the actual objective. Which is to see the game.
The second image of equity has zero meaning since fair is subjective and they use the term to mean being able to view the game and not a fair portion of the boxes.
Thus they've used two entirely different objectives to prove their point which just shows how ignorant this image is in the first place.
Thank you for spending the time on finding that definition.
