    I think that’s accurate, but don’t think it explains the origins of the meaning. Like, were people using the word that way in the 1920s?

      No, but the thinking itself predates that comfortably, ‘political’ is just the term used now

      Women only got the right to vote in the US in 1920 and the country still had ‘Colored’ and ‘White’ restrooms/seating/etc for decades after
