Equity is just an attempt to dance around capitalism, equality would be to remove the fence

    Can someone fill me in on this. To my knowledge social equity (which is what I presume we are talking about) is basically just equality of outcome, right? Equality is a huge umbrella term (in philosophy of ethics, economics, political philosophy, etc) anyway. But equality of outcome is a lot less capitalist than equality of opportunity, so I would think that social equity would be favorable. But I don't really know where the term even comes from and what nuance and connotations it holds.
