    What does “woke” mean?

    WOKE:

    Wisdom
    Openness
    Kindness
    Empathy

    It is a state of awareness achieved by intellectually sensitive individuals who have empathy for the plight of others, especially those suffering from injustice and oppression such as racism or systemic bigotry.

    This term is also used by people without functional empathy in an attempt to insult and mock those people with empathy.

    But “woke” does not mean “persecution”. “Woke” just means that casual racism, sexism, religious and gender bigotry, and general lack of human empathy are no longer acceptable in polite society.
