What? I'll illustrate why this is wrong.
Lets use a fake company called Black & White LTD. They have 150 employees, 30 of which are black (20%). The company only has 2 different pay scales: Grunt, and Manager. Grunts make $50,000 per year, and managers make $100,000 per year. 125 of the employees are grunts, where 25 of the employees are managers. The law of averages says that 25 of the grunts will be black people (20%), and 5 of the managers will be black people (20%). The average manager pay is thus $58,333 per year. For white people, 100 will be grunts, and 20 will be managers, thus having an average pay of $58,333.
If averages were truly spread evenly throughout all companies, then the average wage of all minorities would be the exact same (assuming the same average education, location, etc.).
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
