A lot of the reason why minorities and women get paid less is because they accept lower pay.
This is also why minorities and women are often sought after because it A) fills many quotas and B) is often cheaper than hiring a white male.
Men (especially white men) tend to demand higher pay than their competitors. As a result, they often get passed over in hiring when a minority demands less, but when a white male actually gets hired, he tends to get more pay.
Education is also a big part of it. White males tend to have better scores and went to better schools.
True, I'll give you that one.
