A chart from data.oecd.org, showing that the United States has one of the worst gender pay gaps in the oecd list of 30 countries. The chart is annotated with a black man emoji, facepalming himself because it's 2023 and we're still paying women less than men for doing the same work.

   Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

   I haven't made it to Black History yet. I'm still on white US history.

   Q: Enough about racism for a second. Take a break! I'm worried about gender issues in the US too. For example, why is the gender pay gap in the US so large? It's one of the worst in the OECD!

   A: You know why. Racism! In the US, the pay gap between white men and white women, is smaller than the pay gap between white women and Black and Latinx women.
