House aims to bar trans athletes on girls and women’s teams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:49:33 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-led House was expected to pass a bill Thursday that would bar schools and colleges that receive federal money from allowing transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male to compete on girls or women’s sports teams or athletic events.The legislation is unlikely to advance further because the Democratic-led Senate will not support it and the White House said President Joe Biden would veto it.Supporters said the legislation, which would put violators at risk of losing taxpayer dollars, is necessary to ensure competitive fairness. They framed the vote as supporting female athletes disadvantaged by having to compete against those whose gender identify does not match their sex assigned at birth. Opponents criticized the bill as ostracizing an already vulnerable group for political gain. The expected House action comes as at least 20 other states have imposed similar limits on trans athletes at the K-12 or collegiate level.The b...

¿Son hispanos los brasileños? El error que cometió el Censo de EEUU

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:49:33 GMT

Un error de codificación en una encuesta anual de la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos ha permitido ver como grandes cantidades de brasileños en Estados Unidos se identifican como hispanos.Un análisis del Centro de Investigaciones Pew muestra que el error de codificación hizo que al menos 416,000 brasileños, más de dos tercios de esa nacionalidad en Estados Unidos, se identificaran como hispanos en la Encuesta de Comunidades de 2020. En cambio, solo 14,000 brasileños se identificaron así en 2019 y 16,000 en 2021, los años en los que no se cometió el error.Desde 2000, la Oficina del Censo no clasifica a los brasileños y otras personas de países no hispanoparlantes de Latinoamérica y el Caribe como hispanos debido a las definiciones del gobierno federal revisadas por última vez en 1997 y que posiblemente serán actualizadas el año entrante. Debido a ello, si alguien se registra como hispano pero brasileño, se lo recodifica como “no hispano” al analizar las cifras. CNBC:...
