The Hard Life in 2019 America

When did stating observable facts and holding public figures accountable for doing their jobs become "racist"?
When did upholding our immigration laws become "anti-immigrant?"
When did disagreement become "hate?"
When did it become not only acceptable but desirable for our government to establish entitlements and privileges for certain groups of people and withhold those entitlements and privileges from other groups of people based on ethnicity or race?
When did our government get the right to use taxpayers' hard-earned money to support organizations that serve only small selected portions (identity groups) of the population?
Intelligent (and not-so-intelligent) people have learned to use our eyes to discern observable features of others, such as what sex, ethnicity, etc they are, so that we can use pronouns and other language cues to facilitate communication. Must we now begin every communication with a new acquaintance with inquiries about their "gender" or "gender identity" before we can begin meaningful conversation and avoid using "offensive" pronouns?
We are making life unnecessarily hard!
