stuff like this being mainstream with no pushback at all is pretty frustrating.
While all women are underpaid compared to their white male counterparts, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, gaps not only persist throughout time, they widen based upon race and ethnicity.
In analyzing median annual earnings, the Department of Labor found Black women earn roughly 61% of what white men earn. Hispanic women fare even worse; they earn just over half of what their white male counterparts earn. Asian women and white women were still underpaid but faced narrower gaps: 85% and 77%, respectively.
Yeah lets just Ignore all the other factors that go into it and make blanket statements that it's sexism and discrimination.
