Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has canceled a trip this month to New York, backing down in the face of outrage in the city over his populist policies and his homophobic, racist and misogynistic remarks. Bolsonaro had been due to accept a Person of the Year award from the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, but his selection... prompted dismay from activists and politicians and caused host venues and sponsors to dump the event... New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had called Bolsonaro "a dangerous man" and welcomed the American Museum of Natural History's decision last month to pull out of hosting duties... [O]rganizers had been scrambling to keep the May 14 gala on track after announcing Bolsonaro as the honoree, with Delta Air Lines, Bain and a handful of other sponsors dropping the event... He has supported removing indigenous communities from the Amazon rainforest and opening up the region for further mining... "Jair Bolsonaro is a dangerous man," de Blasio said earlier. "His overt racism, homophobia and destructive decisions will have a devastating impact on the future of our planet."
