No, it began around 2012.

The trend started far before that, though.

There was a clear shift in the mainstream culture of liberalism around that time. How many people knew of terms like "white privilege" and "cultural appropriation" in 2007 compared to 2017? You can even look at google trends to see the increase in this type of discourse.

my first memory of realizing things were "woke" and didn't make sense was as a kid the burger kings kids club had cartoon kids of different races and a kid in a wheel chair. But in real life all the kids at school segregated themselves according to race and black kids were the rudest. You couldn't be friends with them. This was som time in the 90s. Me and my friends talked about how it was weird, we didn't know about terms like woke or criticial race theory but we guessed burger king did it because they wanted people of all races to go there and give them money so this was a quick easy campaign to do that.
