That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.
Literally watch any comedy from that time and you’ll quickly learn how different the discourse was.
In the past 5 or so years it’s swung back super hard, I’ll give you that, but PC culture as you’re describing it had barely started in the 90’s and really only got off the ground in a way you would recognize in the mid-late 00’s.

Well, the Mango Mussolini nightmare started 10 years ago or so… so not too far off
