It's an interesting question and an interesting(entertaining?) discussion. I don't see how one could defend a position that basically says some people are better than others in absolute terms. But, i do think most people would find it easy to say that some people are better than others at a particular skill, and I think most of the friction in this thread is how one interprets on what end of the spectrum the original premise was.
The question in philosophical terms is almost impossible to answer, it's too broad. Speaking from the heart it's as many have already pointed out in the thread: treat everyone with equal measure and then we're all the same.
