Race has nothing to do with minimum wage.
Minimum wage should NOT be a part of the Federal Government. It's a regional issue that should be held up to the states. As stated, the cost of living in New York and the cost of living in South Texas are VERY different.
For Drakers, anyone trying to pay $3/day wouldnt have anyone to work for them. Supply and demand works for employees as well. The paychecks a company puts out directly affect the cost of that product for everyone else. If they pay more the prices for it cost more, also known as inflation. If they pay less it drives down inflation. But this is inherantly controlled by the fact that people wouldnt work for a company that pays $3/day.
I think there is a need for minimum wage. But the federal government is too slow and too bulky to make it work correctly. States know their regions much better and are much more flexible.
