4. It's good this man took the time to illuminate this situation, if anyone's going to hear about it!

This was also worth pondering:

Political operative Michael Gomez Daly worked on two congressional campaigns in 2012 with similar budgets. On one campaign, Daly, who describes himself as “a very light-skinned Hispanic,” was brought in as a field director, primarily for his skills as a Latino operative who could reach out to the Hispanic community. On the second campaign, where they did not know he was Hispanic, “I just came in as ‘Michael Daly,’ instead of ‘that Latino operative,’” he said. “Right off the bat they offered me twice the amount for the same job.”

So sad, but people do have to keep pushing, if this filthy practice is EVER going to be corrected in our lifetimes. If employers can find a way to shortchange ANY one, and still get a quality employee, you know they intend to do it.

What a shame the employer only feels he's successful when he can avoid paying the employee what he really earns. It's been that way so long, but the problem comes even dirtier when the employee is also getting less than "white" employees with the same credentials, for the same work.
