Seriously, FLG, your first post on this was a trick. Equal opportunity isn't the same thing as equal outcomes, as Andrew and Alan have noted. Equal opportunity and excellence aren't mutually exclusive---you randomly conflated the two. Not very honest of you.


True. However, unequal outcomes are almost always cited as the evidence that the opportunities are unequal.
