What is equality to you?

or another one.

 

Group A suffered 10 random physical attacks last year

Group B suffered 12 random physical attacks lat year

 

Group A is given 2 random beatings to equal things up.

In what way is the majority group treated less favourably?

 

Isn't it obvious?  If the majority (The greater number) are given £10, and minority (The smaller number) are given £10.....

It's not £10 spread across the entire group, that's obvious!

 

Majority could well mean "gets the most opportunites", it doesn't have to relate to the size of the group.

No. "The so-called privledged outnumbering the so-called  disadvantaged isn't an injustice, it's an inevitability".  The disadvantaged group (the minority) will remain the minority, unless, the majority is treated less favourably.  In any given situation, the so-called privledged will always outnumber the so-called disadvantaged. If the disadvantaged account for only, let's say 35% of all interviewees applying for jobs for example, how can both groups ever be equal? They can't be. Well, they could be, but only by treating the majority less favourably.

Your wasting your breathe. Most people would understand perfectly what you're saying. For others , political dogma and social engineering are more important.

Repeating it doesn't make it better.

 

The number in the groups doesn't matter (see below)

 

The analogy is to show the bizarre claim that making Group B equal to Group A, somehow gives an advantage to Group B and discriminates Group A.

 

Group A has been given £10

 

Group B has been given £5

 

Group B is given an additional £5 to make things equal with Group A.

 

How is that an advantage for Group B and discrimination against Group A?

Not that it should be necessary, but it seems SnailyBoy has made it foolproof just for you guys (see above)
