taking the words right out of my mouth
I don't know how many different times and different ways I've tried to explain this very thing to people - and as usual I could never say it better than John Hawkins:
I'll tell you why; because liberals look at equality in terms of outcomes. If there aren't X number of minority and poor students in a gifted class, it must not be equal.
However, that's a grotesque way to look at equality. Equality should be about equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. None of us born with the same abilities, inclinations, or environments and what that means is that life doesn't always break down into the neat little statistical categories that bureaucrats love so much -- nor should it.
