white men earn significantly more than any other demographic today for the exact same roles at the exact same companies

Quick reminder of the classic takedown of that misleading nonsense:

Cathy Newman interviewing Jordan Peterson on the gender pay gap etc

Given the government is introducing the legislation to stop the cycle of unfair pay employment tribunals (that are often successful), I think you’re not looking at the same data set they are.

I think you are looking at it through identity-tinted glasses.

You didn't need to bring colour and gender into it.

I wouldn’t if the data from tribunals suggested employers didn’t. Unfortunately they do, so here we are.

Well, the video explains the misunderstanding. Its not about gender or race in the way you present it, but a wide variety of factors.

You're citing Jordan Peterson as evidence of something?

Who's next, Alex Jones?

I've seen that. Cathy Newman being a terrible interviewer doesn't mean the thing they're talking about is actually false. But if we are doing ad hominem against Cathy, I think we should also consider it fair against Jordan: a while after this interview, he went to Russia for medical treatment banned in America and Canada, ended up with a severe addiction to benzodiazapenes and disappeared entirely from public life. He is not somebody I would rely upon for accurate information even though he was good at public speaking.
