My University Treated Me Like a Criminal Over a Joke

so when you make the claim “less bigotry meant that fewer people were offended”, are you saying that there was less bigotry 20 years ago in general, or less bigotry 20 years ago for certain groups.

Reread carefully. It was for specific groups.

Of course, an “in general” statement is a lot harder to make without lots of exceptions and regional variations.
