I don't see the parent comment communicating those ideas.
There is no statement in the comment that there is currently "some semblance of equality of opportunity" only that "most humans would agree striving for equal opportunity is a universal goal". This is a directional statement, not a statements about current progress in that direction.
Nor do I see any statement that group outcomes are explained entirely "because of some characteristic within those people."
