For those who are reading the parent comment, no, that's not what equity means.

Equity means just and fair allocation of resources and opportunities, not equality of outcomes.

Here’s Kamala Harris saying exactly OP’s definition.

>we are talking more rightly about equity … it has to be about a goal of saying that everybody should end up in the same place

It is literally all about equality of outcomes.

Then explain the one picture that every single DEI advocate shares at the start of their intro sessions. You know the exact one that I'm talking about.

Isn’t that what equality already meant?

I have personally gone through HR trainings that directly contradict what you're saying. "just and fair" allocation is also a vacuous qualifier. According to whom? If it's just and fair allocation according to someone that believes in equality of outcome, then you're not disagreeing with the comment you're responding to.

I think in practice, equity does in fact mean equity of outcome. Pretending that that's not the case feels like gaslighting to people, and drives people away from DEI initiatives.

I guess it's up to each individual or organization on how to interpret it. Some places may interpret it as the more controversial equality of outcome.

I was lectured by Jewish (they made a big deal out of it, not me) consultants at my last job about how to implement DEI and they completely disagree with you.
