We're going around in circles here. The definition of fair, as I am using here, is one that applies to the backgrounds people come from. Fair simply indicates that two contestants are on a level playing field; all that matters is at what point you ceases to be a concern. If you want to use a definition, fine, but that's not contributing to the discussion in any way.

As an economics major, I am well aware of inequalities being a part of the game.

Comparing backgrounds gets you nowhere when it comes to the definition of "fair" ... 

The idea of being "fair" originated from adhering to rules when it comes to competing, the definition DOES NOT concern itself with some background equality ... 

Since when did not offering the same chances all around the world violates the rules of economics ?

The definition is highly concerned with background equality. One of (admittedly several) definitons of fair, according to Dictionary.com:

Fair: "Without cheating or gaining an unjust advantage."

What I (and I believe OP) are referring to is that particular definition of the word. Fair, as we're using it, pertains to ensuring that no one has any sort of "unjust" advantage coming into a game, a competition, or in this case, life. As the world stands currently, billions of people are put at an unjust (which is simply a lack of what is morally right) disadvantage due to the world's past, i.e. colonialism, slavery, and simply where they are born. Thus, it is not "fair." That is all we're saying.
