[quote=Anonymous]Equity is a good thing, but who gets to decide what is equitable? Who's making sure that we are using policies that are truly equitable? Not just enforcing an achievement penalty and calling it equity so that the perpetrators can be anointed Heroes of Social Justice and walk away with their profits and burgeoning reputations. When I say achievement penalty, I mean this. Suppose two people start with the same means, but one achieves more through effort and talent. Unfortunately, since that person is the wrong race/ethnicity, someone else decides that their outcomes need to scaled back relative to the norm, in order to equalize their relative advantage. What, this doesn't happen? You can tell that to someone else, but don't lie to someone who's had it happen to themselves.[/quote]
