How did American “wokeness” jump from elite schools to everyday life?
What exactly is the goal of the &#x27;woke&#x27; as it pertains to race or gender? If success to them looks like an equal number of white&#x2F;black&#x2F;asian&#x2F;women it&#x27;s an unreachable goal. According to the 2020 census: 57.8% of Americans are white, 16.3% are hispanic, 12.2% are black, and 5.9% are asian. It seems as plain as day that even if we could remove racism from the equation, it&#x27;s more likely that whites will make up more share than others.  As far as women in tech for example, yes there are very few of them. But is that because we discourage girls from getting into tech or simply because they, as a group naturally gravitate towards other kind of work?  Nobody complains that there are too few men in nursing or too many women in nursing (my wife is in a nursing program and it is dominated by female students.) As of 2010, 14.4% of active duty US military personnel are women, 30% are minorities.  What exactly is their definition of &#x27;success&#x27;?  In my mind it&#x27;s equality of opportunity. I don&#x27;t care what color your skin is or what gender you are - are you the best candidate from a &#x27;doing the work&#x27; perspective.  To me that should be the goal.
