“Real Time” host Bill Maher<\/a> took a moment Friday night to tip his hat to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who offered a candid response to a question over what the difference is between equity and equality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During last week’s “Overtime” segment, Maher read a viewer question, “Are we confusing equality of opportunity with trying to guarantee equity in outcomes<\/u><\/a>?”<\/p>\n

“I think this word \u2018equity\u2019 has come into the language in the last few years and before that we didn\u2019t hear it a lot, and I think a lot of people hear \u2018equity\u2019 and they hear \u2018equality\u2019 like it\u2019s the same word, but it\u2019s not the same word and the same concept,” Maher said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BILL MAHER QUIZZES BERNIE SANDERS ON WOKE \u2018EQUITY\u2019 LANGUAGE, SENATOR UNSURE OF DEFINITION: \u2018I DON\u2019T KNOW’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He asked Sanders if he knew the difference between both terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well equality, we talk about \u2014 uh, I don\u2019t know what the answer to that is,” Sanders responded.<\/p>\n

Maher revisited that moment during Friday’s panel discussion.<\/p>\n

“It made a little news\u2026 I said what’s the difference. And God bless him, he said, \u2018[Honestly], I\u2019m not sure I know.’ And Bernie, you’re not alone,” Maher told the progressive lawmaker<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I can’t find anybody who actually knows or people \u2014 they have a different view of it,” Maher added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Author and linguist John McWhorter blasted equity as a “wormy” term, which he described as “having equality by forcing the issue” like “bringing people into positions they’re not qualified for yet so everything looks \u2018like America.\u2019”<\/p>\n

“They’re trying to slip in without letting you know that it’s going to be equality accomplished in a way that you probably wouldn’t like,” McWhorter said. “And the people who do this think it’s the right thing because they’re on the side of the angels.”<\/p>\n

“This DEI [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion], it’s not accident that \u2018D-E-I\u2019 is the first three letters of deity. These people think of themselves as gods. None of this is an accident,” McWhorter added about the “weasel word.”<\/p>\n

Maher claimed CBS writers’ room requirements now seek at least 50% BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) writers for the network’s shows, indicating he believes that’s an example of equity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They’re saying, like, \u2018Well, these aren\u2019t the best people perhaps to write the show\u2019 \u2014 what if it’s a show about a polka band in a ski town?” Maher quipped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, journalist Josh Tyrangiel offered a “slight defense” of the equity efforts in government and corporate America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t disagree with a lot of what you’re saying. At the same time, if you’re one of those people who has been trying to crack a writers’ room<\/a>, it’s hard. It’s really hard because historically in this town, writers’ rooms, I say this as a Jew, it’s like diversity was like one member of each of the 12 tribes, right?” Tyrangiel joked. “There’s a lot of Jews in those rooms, and that’s great.”<\/p>\n

“Jews are funny!” Maher exclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tyrangiel later continued, “While I wouldn’t say it’s got to be 50%, it’s got to be tomorrow, I think the impulse here is not something that we should make fun of even as we make fun of the ways in which it might be implemented because ultimately, without a forcing mechanism, change doesn’t happen very much. So I don’t think it’s a bad thing to say we need to strive to get this done and we may need to put some pressure.”<\/p>\n
