Formal or informal indoctrination efforts to convince the subject(s) that all members of certain demographic groups are oppressed and other groups are oppressors, irrespective of said members' individual behavior, level(s) of achievement or prosperity.

I thought this New Employee Orientation was just going to consist of HR information, like sick leave policies and the retirement program; instead, most of the time was spent with a "diversity consultant" telling us what was wrong with America, and that we were racists whether we knew it or not"--It was a total wokeucation session.
A portmanteau of "hip" and "sharp"; usually used to describe a person's look or manner of dress.
That dude is always in the latest style and everything is a perfect fit. A totally harp look!!
