But did the law allow for that? If all the black women were fired first, could a complaint of sexist or racist discrimination be made if there were plenty of white women and black men who weren't fired? I don't know and don't have time to read Crenshaw again now.
If she actually reported it incorrectly. I'd like to know but I think someone would have said so in all these years because she has a lot of critics. She's not wrong to say all the black women were laid off because black men were too because both of those things that can be true.

My point here is that by omitting the fact that black men were also laid off, she's letting the reader believe black women had a substantive claim beyond simple race based discrimination
-
That's the claim, yes. I'm not sure it needs for no black men to have been laid off to be true. You're arguing it could well just have been racism & the black women were wrong to think it was a compound of racism and sexism?
-
It's possible that she had no grounds to think this & I can't be bothered to look into the reasoning they gave for this. I don't know that she was right in this case. We probably agree that she was right to say there must be a way to address compound cases?

But lets leave it because we've been talking past each other all along. I accept that you have no ideological motivation for saying the article reported the case wrong.
