But true equity will not end what you have. It will simply give the same opportunity to everyone. Note, opportunity does not equal outcome. It's not a freebie. Success, or the race, must still be earned only now, everyone starts from the same line and not weighed down.
So the question always boils back down to "why do you think you are deserving of a head start and a cleared path but the black, the hispanic, the woman, the LBGTQ, the Indigenous, and the Asian are not? Do they not work and study and dream just as hard? Do they not also have family to care for? Do they not also contribute to this society? Are they not also citizens and invested in this land?
