So equity means equality of outcome? Makes sense. Asian and white males better split into self interested racial groups and fighting for themselves just like the jedis do real quick, cos we work way harder than anyone else, but if "equity" is applied we'll wind up with the same share of the pie and earning the exact same money as the laziest groups on earth. -

“The divergence between developed and developing countries, between North and South, between the privileged and the rest, is becoming more dangerous by the day,” the secretary-general said. “It is at the root of the geopolitical tensions and lack of trust that poison every area of global cooperation, from vaccines to sanctions to trade.”
