Except what was considered " welcoming and inclusive for all people" has changed. There is plenty of non-PC stuff that was considered OK by (white/straight/cis/etcetc) people at the time. I think our standards are higher now. I think we might be in agreement on that?

Nope. The terms are used (and criticized by the "PC/SJW" side) in the exact same way.
IDK, I don't really want to argue. If you are just talking past me (and I you) I don't want to do that either.
