The term woke has now become a pointless descriptor bearing little resemblement to the self prescribed enlightenment or the derogatory ignorance that is used as for and against.

So with this mindset, yes.. they absolutely will be called woke.

The term was coined as being aware of your surroundings when traversing the southern states. As in; be woke as a black man when travelling in the south.

It then morphed to be a virtue signal of high status by the neo-liberal bourgeoisie.
