Answer:
Hmm, I was born in 2003, but that did bring be closer to the time and I have a sibling born 1999, so from what I experienced, i'd say 2000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Things closer to and around 2000 was so much more peaceful than it is now in 2019, in my opinion the years between 1998 and 2002 were the largest droop in racial hate crime and then it just started rising again and SKYROCKETED starting 2015 because a lot of people grew up from the time of hate and found the freedom of speech...for hate. The education system was not as screwed over and carefree as it is now. There were so much less political riots over opinions of what is right or wrong, less political war over religion and other stuff, ugh, there's so much hate now in 2019. And a positive not depressing reason is, the clothing styles, haha those were good time XD
So ya, in my opinion, 2000 was better than 2019, and I expect things to only get worse in 2020. And ya its true 2019 was the peak (so far) of freedom of expression, but it's still a disaster cause people are making the largest fight over it.
