How in the world did this get conflated with pay gaps to specific groups of people?

Listen, companies will pay the least amount they can, regardless of what group you're in. That white male working beside you? Yeah, they want to pay him less too.

This has nothing to do with discrimination and everything to do with companies trying to avoid morale issues amongst their workers while also trying to minimize labor costs over time.
