Equality or Neutrality?

What is more important? Equality or neutrality? 
There is hot debate these days to promote equality in jobs, promotion, sports, politics, society etc. But when you promote equality are you not indirectly showing bias? But if you don’t show bias then can the equilibrium be ever achieved? 
I have not been able to understand this but what I could understand is that if there is a level playing field then I think neutrality is a much better approach than advocating for equality. But again the question is can there be a level playing field in all walks of life? 
In the past, only few have been controlling all the resources of the world. Now this is changing and this is a continuous process. Until that equilibrium is achieved we should all try to advocate equality but we cannot be promoting equality everywhere blindly otherwise we are unwittingly begetting the feeling ill will amongst people which is unwarranted. 
When you are neutral you can take decisions without any bias. What I think is that when you are in a place or situation where you have to take decisions, you should exercise neutrality rather than equality otherwise you can ignore things which can be detrimental in the future. 
Not sure if it made any sense but thought of putting it here what was going through my mind. 

Happy Sunday!
