This is a good example of how the modern philosophy of identity politics falls apart when you seriously examine it.

Think of all the ways that people are innately privileged (or not): intelligence, height, beauty, upbringing, parental wealth, personality profile.

Any combination of the above can have a vastly greater impact on a person's life outcomes than race, gender, sexuality etc.

"In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic."

Just wait until genetic self hacking start, and people can increase their intelligence, change their personality profile, skintone etc.
