Funny I've been seeing a lot of people trying to define 'wokeness' in the past couple of days but wasn't sure what started it.

It's just short-hand for the more extreme social justice side of the culture wars.
The woke will be more supportive of defunding police, or reparations, or race-based employment and education opportunities, or CRT in the schools. The woke are religious practitioners of leftist progressive ideology. Wokeness is faith in social justice progressivism, full stop. If reason or data get in the way, then reason or data have to be disposed of.

From Tim Urban, a little complicated but it captures the evolution of ideas. He is intentionally avoiding the word woke here in favor of ‘Social Justice Fundamentalism’

Yes that stands to reason. The best in general will also be the best for me.

You know, there really is only one way to ensure equity. Enforced population control. So long as there are more white people than individual minorities, there can be no true equity. And even those measures taken by whites to aid in DEI are by their nature inequitable. These measures are being taken and provided by whites. And they know it. How “magnanimous” of them.

On the short term, I suggest limiting the number of white people that can vote.
On the long term, there simply are too many of them. Should we pass 1 baby measures similar to China? Specifically for whites, of course. And just till the numbers even up. You know, a great way to make this happen? Make their boys think they’re girls and the girls think they’re boys!

Interesting argument. I don't recall seeing a huge transgenderism movement in the black, asian or hispanic communities.

Even limiting numbers doesn’t help if the minority whites (and Asians) continue to outperform. To truly achieve equity you’d have to proactively limit the opportunities the disfavored ethnicities could enjoy. Like Malaysia does to it’s Chinese minority.

No, if you admit that some cultures would continue to outperform the median even if the system is balanced in numbers, then you are admitting there is something more than inherent and imbedded racism at play. The movement cannot have inconsistency… Oh wait, nevermind…

White people are a minority.
They are not properly geographically distributed.
There are too many in the USA, spread them around and let's see what happens.

Indeed. Historically, white people have done quite a bit to spread themselves around, colonizing the world and whatnot.

The Communists in China was so forward looking, they recognized how their own population are so much bigger than others that they volunteered into the one-child policy decades ago! India, in contrast, has no such self-awareness.

Dude, no need to reinvent the wheel; the CCP has shown you that forced abortions and forced sterilizations were very effective. You just need to accept abortions and let the government fund abortions.
Or raise the cost of raising children, bigly. Continuing to learn from mainland China, the cost of raising children got so high (compared to income) that most folks in mainland China refuse to procreate.

Most of the black hookers in Springfield were crossdressers.
