No it’s not too different from the statement ‘making slave wages.’ If the average white coach is making 10 times his salary, then it is understood to be a statement being used to make a point. If only 20 percent more, then it’s considered a poor analogy. What really is offensive is when someone truly is stating that a condition is like slavery. Star Trek: The Next Generation did (that is, the writers for the show did) during one episode when they stated that a woman who had an arranged marriage (to secure a peace treaty) was essentially being sold into slavery. Now that’s offensive. And just plain dumb.
