Re: Gender pay gap - myth or reality?

Tennis is an odd one as Women actually get paid a huge amount more than men a) They play less games per match, and the games they do play don't take as long b) Because of this they don't get as knackered, which means they can also enter the doubles, and in effect can win nearly double the money of ...

Re: Can black people be racist?

Think the point is any race can be racist to another.

You could actually argue that one race can be racist to their own race if they do the same things in power as other people in power do to their own race of people
