There's lots of data, yes. Rozado has many n-gram plots that show this happening around 2010 for some terms and 2012-ish for other terms: https://davidrozado.s

There's lots of data, yes. Rozado has many n-gram plots that show this happening around 2010 for some terms and 2012-ish for other terms: https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/ppdwnmd https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/ppdwnmd The huge spikes in terms like inclusion, racist, sexist, climate change, global warming, etc is clear, all starting around either 2010 or 2012 (except for global warming, which spiked a few years earlier and then was replaced almost overnight in 2010 by the vaguer term climate change, which shows massive growth in the last 10 years). A clear trend of increasing prevalence of prejudice related terms is apparent with words such as racist or sexist increasing in usage between 2010 and 2019 by 638% and 403% in The New York Times or 514% and 141% respectively in The Washington Post. >> "should I just listen to a fat white man screaming on talk radio" I thought that would be considered racist fat shaming these days, but I guess it doesn't count if the person you're offending isn't on your team?
