The same people we all know who will talk up these "efforts at equity" are the same people who'll ask you to write a letter to help their kid get into a school. "You know a guy on the alumni board, right?" The same people who hire SAT tutors for their kids. The same folks who pull up all the ladders behind them, but excuse all of that by observing the catechism of "equity policies."
And their MAGA opponents are almost identically similar. Singing you an endless song about the forgotten rural "left-behinds." Hillbilly Elegy fans. But then ask them, "Where were you folks for the last hundred years while poverty raged in the inner cities?"
It's all the same song: "Equity forced on thee, but not upon me."

You have figured that many people can be selfish.
