Equality of opportunity just means anyone can grow up to be whatever they want if they want it bad enough and work hard enough.
If you hear the words "equality of opportunity" and immediately think "slavery", well, that's you thinking differently from the way everyone else uses the phrase. Nowadays they call that "You do you," but I loathe that expression :p
Just like there is no equality of talents, there is no "equality" of opportunity. Opportunity is not dispensed at random. It is more often seized by an individual who sees it and works toward it. "Equality" of opportunity is a fable, and a useless one. All we need is opportunity, which can be unlimited.
