A report by linguistics-focused software company Textio found that for every piece of non-actionable feedback white men under 40 received, Black women–regardless of age– received 8.8 pieces of such feedback. Other underrepresented groups, such as Latina women, and Black men, also were more likely to get “low-quality” feedback. Asian men and white men are the least likely to receive low-quality feedback, the Textio report found, while Black and Latino women are the most likely. A 2021 study from the American Association of University Women showed that median annual earnings for Asian men ($83,173) were twice as much as that for Black women ($43,209) and Latina women ($38,718). “It’s validating of the experiences that Black women report having in the workplace,” said Snyder.
