I think this would be more useful and accurate if it was job-specific.

I appreciate the idea of highlighting the wage discrepancy but the execution is flawed... I put in my salary (I am Black) and it's telling me a lower salary lol. Other factors need to be taken into account such as education, location, industry, etc. This is a more complex issue than "If you're not Black, you definitely make money than you would if you were"

Not objective - it doesn't matter what you choose, it will always say black people get paid less. Let's give Obama for example - he was making more than most people in the world when he was president.
