Has the topic changed to include US problems? If it has that is a completly different conversation.

More than once somebody has brought up a US issue as their example.

Edit: and as SeeBass said above, my issue concerns Canada. I don't live in the US and I don't know what it is like down there when it comes to racial and gender equality.
I understand that we are talking about Canada, but to deny the same trends exist between our societies would be incorrect.

The point of the graphs, as I said in my post, was that white women and minority women earn different amounts for similar positions and education levels, even with laws in place to prevent such things. I posted them in response to the claim that even now, white people are not dominant in the corporate world. I could have found better graphs, but I am already late in leaving the house so I just pulled up the first thing that Google fed me that illustrated my point.
