1/n No. It& #39;s not just your imagination. This term was only rarely used until just a few years ago.
2/n & #39;of color& #39; overall
3/n Same with & #39;marginalized group(s)& #39;
4/n Such terms are so patronizing
5/n NYT stands alone in the use of this term
6/n Don& #39;t know what to say here
7/n The NYT and WashPost are two newspapers (there may be others) that now use & #39;undocumented& #39; or & #39;unauthorized& #39; immigrant(s)/immigration more frequently than & #39;illegal& #39;. This trend also predates the rise of Trump.
8/n Some publications are more empowering than others
9/n Bleh, forgot to include & #39;empowering& #39;. The above might be an undercount.
