the.com/equality
the radical notion that nobody's blood is bluer, despite centuries of insisting otherwise
means The state of everyone having the same rights, status, and worth — being treated as one another's equal rather than one's better or lesser.
from From Latin aequalitas, built on aequalis 'equal, even, level,' from aequus 'level, just, fair' — the same root that flattens out into 'equator' (the line that splits the globe evenly) and 'equanimity' (a level mind). It reached English through Old French in the late Middle Ages, carrying that core image of two things weighed on a balance and found to sit at exactly the same height.
