Racial earnings gaps are far larger among men than among women

Evidence

One can also find evidence that men are the primary targets of intergroup prejudice in the more mundane instances of everyday discrimination. Perhaps the clearest of such evidence is found in the labor market. For example, in a study of minority disadvantage in Great Britain in 1974, Smith (1976) found that white women earned a weekly wage which that was approximately 3% higher than that earned by black women. However, this relative advantage of whites over blacks was substantially larger among men, in which it was found that white men earned a weekly wage that was 10% higher than that of black men. American census data tend to show the same gender-moderated racial differences in earnings. For example, in 1994, white women showed average yearly earnings that were approximately 7% higher than black women whereas white men had average yearly earnings that were 44% higher than that of black men (see Sidanius & Pratto, 1999). — Roderick M.
