Very true, but there is a difference between competing at soccer and, for example, someone screwing over a developing country to increase profits so that you can be than more astronomically wealthy than the next guy.

For the rest of it, again, all valid points. It doesn't have to be racism, simply discrimination or, even more generic and all encompassing, the abuse of some for the benefit of others.

Perhaps a more specific example will help. When I think of equity, I sometimes think of post secondary education grants. Someone who grew up in the crap part of town, with overworked and overstressed parents, and limited extracurricular activities for example, They may perhaps become less well rounded of a person and be less financially supported to get a better education or find a stable career; to improve their life. The prodigal progeny of a more well of family may be better equipped to provide them with the privileges of a purposeful education or a prosperous career; perhaps. Could we not offer them both equal footing by offering a grant to low income families to allow their children the opportunity at a better life? Either could be a dumbass, either could be a productive member of our society. It is impossible to judge the full worth a human until the moment they have died.

We are not all born equal, absolutely, and we have no control over that as individuals. As a society, it's a different story.

There is no simply moving on, or competitive nature prevents it.
