Equity and equality mean 2 very different things. Equality would be giving everyone the same starting place. Equity is ensuring everyone the same outcome regardless of starting place. In many equity examples I've heard of recently, certain ethnic groups are actually given better starting places and better outcomes to "Even up" for past issues. An example of this would be Canada giving out their limited of covid vaccines to one specific ethnic group above all others even though it's dangerous to the pubic to be doing so.
Thank you for your explanation.

I wouldn't quite call him a charlatan because he doesn't often outright lie
Well, he does. He successfully argued his way out of a court case for lying by saying that everyone knows he lies and he shouldn't be taken seriously.

He's also a pedo sympathiser.

That's a fair point, but makes him an actor rather than a charlatan.

Tell me more about this being a pedo sympathizer. Accusations like that seem to be thrown around pretty loosely around these parts.

They are, you're right, and I agree these accusations shouldn't be tossed around loosely. Here is a recording of him defending a pedo. He literally defends a man who wants to marry underage girls.

We can argue the semantics but that actually works out worse. Pedophilia is an attraction and that's not a choice. Carlson defended a guy who wants to marry children.
Pedophilia is toward prepubescent children specifically.

I'm certainly not defending any of that behavior, I just dont know that it meets the definition.

Ok, so in summary (and to stop taking the thread off topic):
  • Tucker Carlson lies so much that he won a court case based on the acknowledgment that he lies.
  • He defended a guy who sexually assaulted children.
  • He publicly made sexist and racist comments.

Yes. He's a sleazebag.
