It's a little weird because the $154k salary is tied to a role. So there are white guys and black guys who work the same job and both make $154k. However, there are more white guys working the $200k job.

Raising the salaries of the $154k roles would be nice but wouldn't solve the problem of representation at what are likely more influential levels of the company. I haven't thought about this all enough to know whether the money at this one company is the important thing, or whether we're using it as a proxy for discrimination and equity and stuff.
