Equity is a term of law that means all parties are treated fairly. Given that critical race theory originated among legal theorists, I would not be surprised to learn that they make heavy use of the concept.

Critical social justice is a portmanteau term coined by Pluckrose and Lindsay that is being heavily pushed by media sympathetic to their brand of culture war. Neither of them are idiots, but equally I don't find either of them to be highly intellectually honest. I recommend avoiding the term CSJ on HN except where we want to talk about Pluckrose, Lindsay and their entourage, since I think the term tends to undermine curious conversation.
