Woke-washing 

The act of dismissing crimes committed by groups whom the woke perceive as historically marginalized. Example? Native Tribes raided, slaughtered, enslaved, & committed genocide toward each other for centuries before Chrissy C showed up. It was constant, merciless, nomadic war.

The woke refuse to celebrate Christopher Columbus day because of the atrocities he committed, and replaced it with Indigenous peoples day. But when you raise the point that tribes committed just as heinous crimes against each other they bury their head in the sand. That's woke-washing.
