Equality of opportunity is meant as: Inequality should rise from personal choice and decisions, otherwise, why should anyone strive to be better than anyone else?
I suggest looking at the history of states that favor equality of opportunity (equality) against equality of outcome (equity).
I'll leave you with this Soviet joke: 'They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work.'

You see the term 'equal opportunity employer' -- it is meaningful and fair.
How does the term 'equal outcome employer' sound?
The only discussion I'm willing to have is one in which we discuss a particular area of treatment or opportunity.
"Equality of opportunity" is a phrase I no longer trust, because it obfuscates the true differences in moral ideology. Just be explicit about which factors you think should create unequal outcomes, and which ones shouldnt, and a real conversation can happen from there.
