I feels the same to me. I remember being aware of "political correctness gone mad" in the early 2000s. I wonder what it was actually like back then and how past me would react today. It seems to me that Obama, a black president, really helped that sort of stuff become mainstream because it had this huge lightning rod rallying point. Then of course Trump, a White man, appeared to a bunch of people who thought they had won. Honestly, what bothers me more is how much influence American culture has on the rest of the world. I couldn't be further away and yet I'm suffering the consequences equally.
