We are all individual agents with varying degrees of self-interest born into an inherently nondeterministic and seemingly random world with different landmasses and climates scattered about which means our upbringings will be fundamentally different from eachother as we all have to adopt to the world slightly differently.

Even if we grant things like racial differences being largely superficial, it's clear that humans cannot be equal on a fundamental level. Part of the role of a government is to provide a space for opportunity and stability in-spite of these fundamental differences.
