I did not see offhand a comparison between white female doctors and black female doctors. I did see that women earn 17% less than men. Does that imply that all women are earning about the same? Or that white women doctors earn 17% less than white male doctors and black women doctors earn 17% less than black male doctors? It's funny (but not to laugh at) that an article about discrimination headlines about the men.
