The lack of equality across everything makes this patently untrue.
If you live in a poor area, you go to a worse school, your teachers arent quite as good, you get worse grades, get a worse job, on a lower income and are less likely to have financial support from your family
Now compound that with being BAME and having racism added to it.
No one is stopping you trying, but plenty of structures prevent you from achieving it as easily as others.
