It’s not an assumption, it’s a statistical reality.

42% of employees in the U.S. have experienced or witnessed racism in the workplace. For Glassdoor’s 2019 Diversity and Inclusion Study, The Harris Poll surveyed over 5,000 employees in the U.S., UK, France and Germany. Of the 1,113 U.S. workers surveyed, 42% agreed with the statement, “I have experienced or witnessed racism in the workplace” — the highest percentage of any of the countries included.

On average, Black and Hispanic workers are paid less than white workers at almost every level of education. According to the Economic Policy Institute’s State of Working America Wages 2019, Black workers with advanced degrees earned 82.4% of the wages that white workers with advanced degrees earned in 2019.

Guess you chose tantrum today.
