That is only partially true. We have as many, perhaps more, advantages due to the genetic lottery than our socioeconomic upbringing. For instance, identical twins who were raised separate, and in different socioeconomic situations, tend to experience the same amount of success in life. In terms of test scores, black students with household incomes north of 150k score about the same as white students with household incomes south of 50k.
