Do you want equal opportunities or equal outcomes? One does not beget the other.

I don't believe either is possible. Life is way too complicated to guarantee anything. But I think everyone agrees we should strive to correct significant levels of unfairness in either opportunity or outcome. We just may disagree on what constitutes significance.

We generally want equal opportunities, but alas that sometimes produces unacceptable outcomes.
