We can go a bit further, where did the general sentiment of trying to offend as little as possible come from? My theory is that terms like latinx and the sentiments for "inclusivity" are a product of something much more abstract. I think simply someone either in academia or the business sector came up with it as a RESULT of what started in the sociopolitical sphere with small things like political correctness. Gradually, people's way of thinking and speech became, in a way, sanitized, and they sought ways to implement that sanitization in other areas of society.

That's just my uneducated analsysis, though :shrug:
