What I want to know is where these people find pairs of people whose only difference is their whiteness or their maleness.

If I'm a black woman who makes 15% less than a white man who does half the work I do (is productivity in the equation anywhere?), he's not "less exploited by 15%" . . . I'm not even sure I could do the math to figure this one out.
