This runs contrary to the underlying premise of the Declaration of Independence that "We find this truth to be self evident that all men are created equal".
So, if I were writing this essay, I would focus on the fact that we are all different, and that our rights in a democratic society are equal. Then you can focus on the differences and the value that those differences have.
For example: We have different levels of intelligence. So there are big thinkers and there are those of us that contribute in other ways. If all men were exactly the same, then who would lead the Nation while some clean our streets?

I tend to disagree with your presumption, so I'm not sure I could be much help. But I suppose you could argue that a human being's free will is what makes us different, or some more equal than others. Some people make good choices, that affect them for life. Others make bad choices, and live w/ the consequences for life. But we're all born w/ a seed inside, yearning for freedome of religion, freedome of living and being, and a sense of justice.

When we are all swimming as sperm, the fastest of us fertilize the egg, we are all "created" as equals, as only the fastest of us were able to be "created"
