Well, everyone is "equal" in value as a human being, but it is incorrect to say that everyone is equal in talent or potential.

Take the Olympics for example. Different body types, genetically predetermined before birth, will give certain people advantages in one sport, but disadvantages in other sports. Tall people have a huge advantage in volleyball, basketball, etc, but not soccer. Kenyans have an advantage at long distance running, but I doubt they are a common sight in the powerlifting arena. Want to climb Mt Everest? More than likely, a Sherpa would go with you, because they have unique physical qualifications.

There's nothing inherently "better" about all these people, but they do happen to have an inherent advantage when it comes to performing specific tasks.

The argument that all people ought to be proportionally represented in every endeavor ignores the basic fact that people have distinctly different skill sets based on their genetic makeup.
