Mark Cuban’s attempts to defend the systemic discrimination scheme known as DEI are not going well.
Last week, the EEOC commissioner said he was “completely wrong” to believe that race-based hiring decisions could be made under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He harshly criticized the reality of the possessed billionaire.
Undeterred by this public humiliation, Cuban once again assumed the role of DEI advocate and, in Sunday’s debate on or at least implied that he misunderstood.

Marcus implored Cuban to consider “equity” as part of DEI. “What is equity? Equity is about achieving equal outcomes for everyone. We all have the same worth and deserve a good life. But we all start from different places.”
Software engineers believe that a proper understanding of the nature of “equity” redistribution will help billionaires “understand more rational rather than hyperbolic arguments against DEI.” he suggested. …A more dogmatic interpretation is that it is not. In reality, what is best for the job or business is to provide equivalent results to different races, regardless of merit. ”
“I can say with 100 percent confidence that anyone who believes that ‘fairness’ means ‘providing equal outcomes’ does not understand what fairness is in DEI,” Cuban said. I answered.
“‘Equality of outcome’ is a disclaimer that the anti-DEI movement uses to scapegoat DEI as unavailable and inappropriate,” Cuban continued. “That’s not the case with his corporate DEI programs. Never. (Feel free to provide your company’s website with equality of outcomes to prove me wrong.)

But the paper notes that another concept of “equity” (ostensibly echoed by Microsoft, Disney, and vice presidents) is “approximately equivalent for groups defined along certain dimensions, primarily race.” “We are demanding changes to the systems that produce results.”
When asked to explain the difference, Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok replied: answered“Equality means treating everyone the same, and equity means giving people what they need to achieve equal outcomes.”
