Yes. Not explicitly but in effect, yes. Also, anti-racist goals were sexist. The argument is that when people spoke of 'women' they meant white women and when they spoke of 'blacks' they meant men. The unique problems of black women were getting missed.

Yes. We don't need a theory for that. We just need that idea. Crenshaw explicitly discouraged individuality & shared humanity. She frowned upon 'I am a person who happens to be black' & advocated 'I am black.' She criticised universal liberalism for trying to overcome categories

Yes, I argued in my essay on the problem with intersectional feminism that it could be good if it worked within universal liberalism. Crenshaw was right to criticise it for focusing almost solely on individuality & shared humanity - the individual is enabled to access everything.
