Questions on morality such as this are sometimes difficult to answer, especially when we have to keep in mind the social structure of Dwapar Yuga (and the consequent mentality of the contemporary humans).
Let’s first get acquainted with the story.
Who was Eklavya?
Ekalavya was the son of Hiranyadhanu, King of Nishadhas (K.M. Ganguly’s translation, Adi Parva, Section - 134; BORI’s Critical Edition, Adi Parva, Section 123). His kingdom was somewhere in present day Rajasthan. A Nishadha, by definition is a mixed caste, and one of the ‘outcasts’ of the then society. Manu Smriti, Chapter 10, Section 8 states:
Nishadha = Brahmin father + Sudra mother.
Ekalavya’s approach to Drona:
One day, Ekalavya approached Drona (like many others) to be his student so that he could learn archery. Drona, “however, cognisant of all rules of morality, accepted not the prince as his pupil in archery, seeing that he was a Nishada who might in time excel all his high-born pupils.” (Quoting from KMG, Section 134). In Critical Edition, it says Drona refused “out of consideration of other pupils.” The meaning is clear in both cases.
Ekalavya worshipping Drone’s clay figure:
Ekalavya obliged, and went back into the forest. But his interest was not subdued. He made a clay figure of Drona and began practising archery, and worshipping the structure as his real Preceptor.
Ekalavya’s exposure:
One day, the Kuru princes came out of their ashram for a hunting excursion. A servant and his dog went along with them. While wandering in the forest, the dog came across Ekalavya, and seeing his dirt-smeared form covered in deer-skin, it started barking loudly. Ekalavya “desirous of exhibiting his lightness of hand, sent seven arrows into its mouth before it could shut it.” (Quoting KMG, Section 134). The dog ran to the Pandavas, seven arrows pierced in his mouth. Seeing such clean archery, they were both surprised and ashamed of their own lack of precision. Overwhelmed by curiosity, they begun searching for the unknown dweller in the forest and discovered a boy of grim visage, who introduced himself as Ekalavya, Drona’s student.
They went back to Drona and reported everything in awe.

Answer:
Dronacharya was the Guru of the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
Yess he had an inequality to Karn
because he was not a Brahmin and Dronacharya declined to teach him & hence can challenged Dronacharya that he will become the best Archer of that time.
