How is "equality of outcome" defined? If multi-generational advantage contributed to a massive wealth gap and head start, is it considered seeking equality of outcome to create policy that seeks to help the previously disadvantaged "catch up"?

Said the other way, is it true equality of opportunity if this history is ignored? Seems odd to suddenly say, "ok, now the playing field is level, so we're all good".
