I think that's a reasonable view, personally.

It's not a conservative/liberal thing - the modern SJW are just the modern version of the age old busybody habit of moral panics - witches, succubi, female hysteria, Jews, marijuana, capitalism/bourgeois rightists, homosexuals, greed, homophobia, and now racism. The contents varies left and right and everywhere else, but the nasty instinct is the same.
It's all very boring, and the busybody/totalitarian thought puritan instincts haven't changed over time, they've just been channeled into different moral panics and different kinds of thought and behavior control. It's all very boring and pointless and an enormous waste of energy.
Let people say what they want as long as it would be ok at a Christmas dinner. Words and opinions have never harmed anyone. In fact thoughts are enlightening, and the freer they are, the better. Totalitarianism and lack of respect for individual expression and freedoms are the problem. You're tilting at racist windmills, that aren't even racist. It's absurd.
