No offense, but that's a dumb question. OF COURSE we aren't.
In the U.S. ..

Women are paid 77 cents for every dollar a man earns doing the exact same job
Muslims and those of Arab descent are hated with a fiery passion in this country; around 100 years ago it was the Jews, and around 50 years ago it was anyone who was Asian, whether they be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese.
This country is full of empty words and promises, since the people shout out their racist and prejudiced demands and it is so.

We are far from equal. People are all equal human beings and should be treated as such, but unfortunately, we are not. We may be more equal than others, but still, our society is very unequal due to differences in wealth, rights, race, religion, social status, ethnic background, morals, and so much more. Some people are treated better than others for these reasons, some treated so much worse. If we are to ever become a more "equal" society, we have a mighty long way to go... :/
