There’s still a hierarchy of pay/conditions lol. Olivia is privileged in many ways and still speaking on her own situation. Whereas Taraji is speaking on a systemic issue that she’s exhausted by. The two situations are not the same.

What’s that statistic, white women get a percentage of a dollar compared to white men but latin folk/certain asian groups/black women/indigenous folk get way less. Meh, Mrs Colman.

I think it would’ve been nice if she’d acknowledged that she still gets paid more than WoC, but I’m not sure saying “who cares?” is helpful. The point she’s making is that wage gaps are illogical and rooted in unfairness. Which is true no matter how narrow the gap.

Olivia is also talking about a systematic issue, female actors being paid less than male actors. Taraji was talking about disparity from a race and gender lens, obviously Olivia can only personally speak to one of those issues. Both are systematic.

You’ve said this beautifully- I am so sorry to nitpick like this, but the word you’re looking for is systemic. Systemic means something inherent to or embedded in a system, systematic means going through things according to a defined agenda, method, or plan.

Don't apologize for making a correction!
