That sounds pretty much like the definition of innate aptitude to me. Religious people like to say things along the lines of - jesus helps those who helps themselves. I'm not religious, but basically the same thing applies here. Advantages don't just happen, they are the result of hard work. Obviously that is no excuse to look down on someone else, but people who put in work to give themselves an advantage should be able to be proud of the work they have done. Its not nothing.
