racial equity
Equal treatment regardless
Racial equity is a policy framework aimed at producing equal outcomes across racial groups, as opposed to merely equal treatment.

Critics argue the concept prioritizes group outcomes over individual merit; proponents contend that neutral policies perpetuate existing disparities.
