Equality or Equity?

I feel that the individual best suited for a job should be the one to get it. It does not make sense to pass over any individual in favor of one from a different religion, race, sex et cetera (at least not on the basis of one of the aforementioned criteria). Testing in the workplace is fine as long as it is not part of a program of discrimination. Discrimination--in terms of racism, sexism and the like--limits the economy. It precludes capable people on the basis of factors that do not necessarily affect their jobs.
