We have underclasses based on genetics now. Let's not pretend mate selection on Earth in 2022 is a meritocracy. It's mostly just racism, a slower form of deliberate genetic engineering of one's offspring.

If anything, this would increase the amount of opportunity in the world, as then your child could have whatever traits you (or your culture) deems superior. It would perhaps eliminate racism by rendering traditional race markers completely obsolete.
