Woke is not a new term.

"Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke#:~:text=Woke%20is%20an%20adjective%20derived,to%20racial%20prejudice%20and%20discrimination%22.

But yeah, that usually comes along with not being a jerk to people.

My friend said some stuff about "wokeness" the other day but when I explained the origin (which I described as simply being aware of the many injustices of the system) he paused and said, "...shit, I guess I'm woke"

So according to Musk, you’re only funny if you’re racist?

Has changed over the years though. Today it’s probably more like “anything which does not adhere to a strict conservative Christian nationalist agenda” which includes but is not limited to awareness of racial injustice.
