Today, on #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, we recognize that as we fight for women’s rights, women of color face ever greater injustices, including an even larger wage gap. While women make $0.80 for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man makes, black women make just $0.63.

Sorry I love you, but the hashtag need be
#ColorWomensEqualPay, the chart clearly shows African American Women getting paid more than a Native-American & a Latina (but not Asian since they get paid more than the rest of category, which is shame. They all should be getting same). -
You misunderstood the hashtag. It is in reference to the date to which a Black woman would have to receive what a white man would be paid for work in 2017. Meaning, a Black woman would have to work all of 2017 plus all the way up to this date in 2018 to receive the same income.

Women’s Equal Pay Day is a different date if you use the average for all women, vs just black women, vs just Hispanic women, etc etc...

Silly senator lightweight. You obviously forgot to control for educational background and work experience. If you had, you would find that gap is zero. I'm other words, your analysis is b.s. designed to create hatred and enmity.

you ought to add Asians. The last time I checked BLS they were at $1.12
-
No compare to other women of color, Asian women get pay more. But still less than what men make. The debate should be about Equal Pay in general.
-
Sure. I'm a little suspect of these comparisons sometimes, but women do seem to get the short end of the stick. But as a white male, it's bothersome that I am used as the top of the scale, when the top of the scale is, by a significant amount, Asian men

This representation is culturally biased. Many (like Latino) families choose in full agreement that the man HAS TO WORK OUTSIDE and the WOMAN WANTS TO WORK AT HOME.https://twitter.com/SenGillibrand/status/1026892243297361920 …

No. You put the most qualified people in positions regardless of their cultural affiliation. Trying to get every culture represented is a fools errand and counterproductive. Placing culturally 'correct' individuals in jobs that they cannot handle causes organizational decay.
-
Anyway biased, because its not about what people are being paid for the same work. I live 15 years in Latin America and many families just want to live this way; boith the woman and the man. Of course not all... https://twitter.com/Tyrannicus/status/1026946121803997184 …

Of course I understand that the culture informs the proscribed role for the sexes, which is fine by me. My problem is when the proportionality of representation is artificially constructed. Biased? Yes, definately.
-
Of course many people didn't have the opportunity to study or to have good career opportunities. Many of those are poor immigrants, mostly Latinos. Not everyone has the same start. One should work on good education possibilities for everyone.
