Thanks for the comment and discussion topics @nicholas83. Are you referring to equity of individuals in access of a resource?

I don't think your examples are cherry-picking at all and speak to some real systemic issues in our nation. Flint is a perfect example that I believe the nation/media has not given enough attention to precisely because of our zeitgeist focus on "equality." Poor white neighborhoods have trouble fitting into these easily-identifiable tropes.

The immigrant scenario, irregardless of what nationality of immigrant, is another aspect that is not easily categorical to identity politics and disrupts exactly who should have dismantled equality (asian-americans for example) or have their "equality" boosted (i.e. african or middle-eastern americans).

In both cases the baseline of liberty should be raised as those conditions greatly hamper a pursuit of happiness, especially in the case of non-consenting children.
