Can we please stop calling "bigoted views against anyone not WASP, and a refusal to acknowledge current and historical oppression of anyone not WASP" "anti-woke"?

It's like "PC" ("I hate the gays and/or blacks and/or jews and I'm annoyed I can't just be open about that without someone calling me a bigot"), "pro-life" ("I refuse to allow a woman to make decisions about her own body and insist on trying to legislate my extremist religious views"), and so on.

I always thought "PC" was a funny term given the people using it are the most likely to be trying to tell everyone else what can/can't be taught in schools, what people can/can't publish, what people can/can't read in their library, etc.

Anti-woke has a specific meaning and its not "pro racism to non WASPS" so cut that BS.

  • What is it then?

    • Woke is everything, everywhere, all at once.

      Pretty much if an action can even so much as be perceived as helping someone, somewhere, with something in a way that they do not "deserve", then it is woke.

      Clean air? Woke! Better consumer protections? Woke! Not having lead in our pipes? Believe it or not, woke!
