Treating everyone the same as equals does not create equity. Note the meaning of those two words in the English Dictionary.
Equal — adjective:
like or alike in quantity, degree, value, etc.; of the same rank, ability, merit.
Equity — noun:
the quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality.
Treating everyone the same is not equity; it is communism. Equity is better. It levels the playing field between the haves and have nots. Ironic how a subtle difference in the meaning of words, is a chasm apart in reality of our world.
