No, as I told OP, it appears the college kids are just a symptom of the greater problem. Or rather, they're the most obvious manifestations, along with gobs of social media warriors. But this close-minded reactionary orthodoxy setting in on the left has much more far-reaching roots. See college professors described by Haidt and DeBoer. See the push back at Google posted in the free speech thread.
I won't go through your list one by one, but many if not all of them I would be more likely to categorize as legit SJWs not "SJWs". They actually fought for a cause sincerely.
An "SJW" would be more likely to reference those people's thoughts and actions when convenient, but when confronted with their words like "judged by the content of their character, rather than the color of their skin," resort to some form of personal attack to obfuscate how they just used concepts like whitesplaining to do the exact opposite. Soon enough MLK will be tossed under the bus, watch. To wit, I would consider Abe Lincoln to be a real SJW, but I noticed on my Facebook feed recently even he's being tossed to the wolves as an incorrigible racist.
