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.

    You do realize the things you mentioned as ways to evaluate merit have been shown to be biased against poor people and POCs, right?

    I don’t disagree with you on principle, hell I personally think giving entrance advantage to POCs was a band-aid solution to the discrimination POCs usually face. But simply saying “just evaluate based on merit” ignores the fact that for that to happen, the entire system must be reformed.
