[eutropia]

Explain to me the good decisions that go into one’s parents being preferentially offered mortgages at favorable rates because of their zip code or skin color?

I would never tear someone down for hard work or taking risks — but some financial factors aren’t equitably replicable. We should be honest about what influences people can and can’t have on their outcomes. Not all success is privilege, but not all success is earned, either.

I don’t think it’s fair to represent efforts to improve equity in our society as “beating successful people down until everyone is poor”
