Me: I can't believe she doesn't know what's going on, or why it's a problem. She is so not woke.

A view of the world not based on one’s own truth (i.e. standpoint epistemology), but grounded in data, reason, and universal principles.
I’m Not Woke. I agree racism exists and has caused disparities, but evidence doesn’t support it as the source for all inequality of outcome.

Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

A gaggle of self-righteous ideologues who would rather jump on the latest bandwagon and lecture atop soapboxes than stand on their own two feet, alongside the people they purport to advocate for.
Person 1: “Haven’t heard a peep from The Woke.”
Person 2: “Hmm, I wonder why?”
Person 1: “Diverted by some trivial issue, no doubt.”

Cultural Marxism
"Woke" is a colloquial term used to describe the manifestation of the latest iteration of Marxist principles as they are when applied to culture rather than economics. They've been targeting culture instead of economics roughly since the 1950s, when the Frankfurt school's adherents (Adorno, Marcuse, Horkheimer, Löwenthal etc) started moving to the States and other western nations. That's when they realized that focusing on economics and the class structure wasn't going to work, so they decided to try focusing on grievance groups instead (women and minorities), ergo you got MLK and his movement (and its modern versions like BLM), rainbow movements, feminist movements etc, which all get their philosophical and moral frameworks from cultural marxism.
Bonus fun fact: This definition is so accurate that Wikipedia has page dedicated to it calling it a, "far-right conspiracy theory", lol.
Normal person: Hey did you see the new intern? He's doing well.
Woke person: Don't assume their gender! They are just part of the patriarchy! I'm so tolerant of everything as long as it fits perfectly into my made-up worldview that I'm going to force everyone else to be part of and agree with! Agree with our group or you're the enemy bigot! You're either oppressed or an oppressor!
