La “interseccionalidad” se volvió un tema candente en los últimos años. Esto es lo que significa

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:49 GMT

(CNN) — Interseccionalidad. Feminismo interseccional. Son frases que quizá hayas oído en las noticias o en boca de los políticos de tu localidad.Aunque estos términos son más habituales en los últimos años, “interseccionalidad” fue acuñado por primera vez hace más de 30 años por la jurista Kimberlé Crenshaw, como un concepto relativamente oscuro que analizaba cómo la opresión de las mujeres negras estaba siendo pasada por alto a los ojos de la ley.Pero el propio término se convirtió en un reclamo verbal. Al igual que frases como “teoría crítica de la raza” y “diversidad, equidad e inclusión”, la interseccionalidad se ha interpretado a veces fuera de su definición original y se ha convertido en un tema de debate político.Esto es lo que debes saber sobre la interseccionalidad: qué significa exactamente y por qué es importante.¿Qué es y qué no es la teoría crítica de la raza?¿Qué es la interseccionalidad?Según Crenshaw, la interseccionalidad es...

Are Brazilians Hispanic? Many say ‘yes,’ report says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:49 GMT

A coding error in an annual survey by the U.S. Census Bureau has offered unprecedented insight into how large numbers of Brazilians in the U.S. identify as Hispanic.An analysis by Pew Research Center shows that the coding mistake revealed at least 416,000 Brazilians, or more than two-thirds of Brazilians in the U.S., identifying as Hispanic in the 2020 American Community Survey. By comparison, only 14,000 Brazilians identified that way in 2019, and only 16,000 Brazilians did so in 2021 — years when the coding error wasn’t made.Since 2000, the Census Bureau hasn’t classified Brazilians and other people from non-Spanish speaking countries in Latin America and the Caribbean as Hispanic because of federal government definitions that were last revised in 1997 but are being reconsidered for an update next year. Because of this, if someone marks that they are Hispanic but Brazilian on the survey, they are recoded as “not Hispanic” when the numbers are crunched.In 2020, however,...

Ukraine agitates to keep EU bid on Europe’s mind

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:49 GMT

Ukraine may still be dominating the news cycle in Europe. But in Kyiv, there are jitters that its bid to join the EU is slipping off the front page. An informal update on the process from Brussels widely expected in April is more likely to arrive in late May, according to EU and Ukrainian officials. It’s poor timing for Kyiv, which is now also quarreling with some of its closest EU allies over a glut of Ukrainian grain shipments that depressed local prices and left farmers fuming. The incidents are crystallizing a difficult reality for Kyiv: Joining the EU was always going to be hard. It will take time for Brussels to sort through the logistics. It will be difficult to maintain political support during the bureaucratic lulls. And countries will be increasingly anxious about the economic turbulence that may result from integrating more than 40 million Ukrainians and their major industries into the EU. On the logistics front, EU officials close to the membership process...

Pat Leonard: Some teams might survive a Saquon Barkley regular season holdout, but these Giants couldn’t

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:49 GMT

There are a lot of NFL teams that could survive a player like Saquon Barkley holding out into the regular season, not playing and being disgruntled when he did return to the team.But the Giants aren’t one of them.The contract standoff makes sense from the team’s perspective for plenty of reasons:Barkley plays running back. He already has an extensive injury history. Some of his fundamentals are either poor (pass blocking) or overrated (pass-catching) in critical areas.All of that undermines his argument that he should be paid like one of the league’s two best backs, if not the top five.But Barkley’s value to the 2023 Giants specifically is greater than it would be to a lot of other teams.Despite his flaws, Barkley remains the best playmaker on a roster that has not sufficiently upgraded the offense around quarterback Daniel Jones yet.Did you know that the Giants had a 6-1 record in Barkley’s seven best rushing games last season with him being their best...

Thomas Tracy| New York Daily NewsA “controlled demolition” is now planned for the century-old lower Manhattan parking garage that collapsed, killing one, after first responders painstakingly remove cars and debris from the site, FDNY officials said Wednesday.While no one is believed to be trapped or unaccounted for at the four-story Ann St. garage following Tuesday’s collapse, the FDNY will continue to have a presence at the site to put out any potential fires and search for any possible human remains, a department official said.All utilities to the building were shut off as preparations for the demolition were made, city officials said.The first phase of the demolition will be the removal of the vehicles that were in the garage when the top floor pancaked down on the levels below, officials said.The upper floors packed with cars crumbled, sending vehicles into the void below, jaw-dropping photos taken from adjacent buildings show.One person was killed and seven people suffered mino...
