Are we really all equal or is that just wishful thinking?

Like if some people somewhere can still go to prison for having an opinion it basically puts the thought of real equality in the wishful thinking category. Not just that but it also applies to a lot of things. I hate this negative version of me.

We are viewed as equal under the law (at least technically in the US)
Obviously, most people aren't going to compete on an equal footing with LeBron James on a basketball court or to challenge the world's great minds on the quiz show Jeopardy.
That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be treated equally under the law.
However, even in the US, sometimes money can afford an advantage to the wealthy....and in some countries it's much worse.

@DragonFruit That's a good answer.

we are not equal but that shouldn't stop anyone from trying to acheive equality

@RoxClymer Very true.

Sure... we're all equal - yet penis owners get paid a higher wage for doing exactly the same job as people who have a vagina.

That's what equality is.

Wishful thinking is believing that everyone is treated fairly, or even the same, which isn’t true. Generally, those who claim it is are from privileged groups and don’t really know how others are treated. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard Exactly yes those always bothered me. They keep pretending they are living in a eutopia and that everything is peaceful about their people while in fact they're intentionally ignoring all the problems.
