Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

    “let’s fund people part of this group I can clearly identify by looking at them. They are likely to be disadvantaged.”

    Uh… they don’t identify by looking at them you braindead fool. They do means testing. As in - actually seeing if they need it.

      Firstly, be respectful.

      There is a huge range of equity implementations in the US. My company, for example, has not done any “means testing” when recruiting for racial equity. Nor when it donates to blanket racial programs. There was no means testing when internships were offered to high school students of particular demographics.
