>I was more so aiming at the people that say everyone deserves equal opportunity by the virtue of birth
These people are making the same exact mistake I already talked about though. They are misinterpreting the meaning of the original concept.
Deserving equal opportunities at birth was meant to mean that whatever rights the government vows to uphold, are granted to every citizen inherently, which is effectively by right of birth.
This is more or less the whole foundation of the concept of citizenship, which is effectively membership to a community with the rights and duties it implies, granted by blood (ius sanguinis), birthplace (ius solis) or declaration (oath of allegiance).
Notice however that already at this point we're drawing a line between citizens and non-citizens, which already undermines the idea of general equality.
Further, we're drawing a line between all opportunities and whatever rights the state deigns to protect, which already massively downsizes the whole concept.
If you take equal opportunities literally, then yes its ultimate conclusion is necessarily going to be equity. But equal opportunities was never meant to be taken literally, and can only be interpreted that way if you remove all the context.
