Just an interesting observation.
You, like our “woke” progressive liberals in the present era, with little provocation and dubious evidence, are quick to infer, imply, or accuse others of racism.
And yet, it is those same liberals who like to smugly assert that most unvaccinated people are uneducated, unsophisticated, conservative Trump cultists.
Not looking for an argument here. It’s just an observation.

Unfortunately, your observations are, as expected, only biased and self-serving.
"Woke" was originally used by Black activists during the rise of groups like BLM. It was a term to signify a consciousness/awareness around racial issues in America. This term has now become weaponized, and used as a new strategy by conservatives and republicans, as a pejorative for attacking liberals. These conservatives use the vagueness of "woke" to include and spotlight, any progressive liberals who believe that White Privilege exists, or that Blacks should get reparations.
These conservatives also use "cancel culture", to highlight other extreme liberal idea about identity and race. Conservative claim that races now have too much power, and can publicly shame those who don’t agree with them. Sometimes leading to some being removed from their jobs, or having their speaking invitations withdrawn. Just another right-wing fear-mongering strategy to confuse, create fear, distort, and get more votes. The last thing that Republican conservatives want is social/racial equality, income and tax equality, social change, equal opportunities, equal justice, or more government intervention and new programs for the poor.
It amazes me all the new meaningless deepities that we create. These terms can sound so profound, but in reality, are absolutely meaningless. The rationale is, that if you say ANYTHING enough times, it will become truth by popular consensus!
You can frame/rationalize your biased and loaded comments any way you want! But, if someone walks like a racists, talks like a racists, and acts like a racists, then they are a racist. And, to say that they aren't, is just another racists in denial. Even the KKK, and most White supremist groups, will never openly claim to be racists(for legal and social reasons). But they still are!!!
Anyway, this is MY interpretation of MY observations. I'm not looking for an argument. Because there IS NONE!!!
