These days if you're not considered racist enough you get called "woke," which is apparently considered an insult -- at least, the racists think it's insulting. The rest of us, not so much.

When calling attention to matters of social, racial, economical, or societal injustice has direct impact on a person's privilege.

While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya?
Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination.
Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against?
Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work.
Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!

Originally, this word referred to people who were awake about conspiracy theories (at this point, conspiracy facts).
Then, it became a word to refer to SJWs, as the most popular voted definition describes.

A word that’s been made bereft of meaning due to suckers who hate and blame progressive for their own failures in life using it to describe everything since 2012.
Person A: “That Movie’s Woke!”
Person B: “You’ve said that about 500 things this year. Give a criticism with an ounce of substance.”

Woke is a mashup of political correctness, social justice, and victim culture. It's an ideology that restructures society into a hierarchy of oppressions.

Real definition: The state of being aware about systematic racism
According to the far-right: Anything that's not as KKK-esque as sending Blacks, Latinos, Asians, LGBTQ members, neurodivergents, and other innocent groups of people they hate for no reason into unspeakably cruel death camps bad enough to make even the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito recoil in disgust. (obvious overexaggeration but you get what I mean)

Literal Neo-Nazi: "OH MY GOD TRANS PEOPLE ARE ONLY BEING BANNED FROM SPORTS AND NOT DRAWN AND QUARTERED AS WELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!"
Half-decent person with an IQ over 69: "If anything that is the opposite of woke. God the far-right disgusts me and I hope it burns to the ground metaphorically and literally."
