They'd have no jobs otherwise so they have to find racism where none existed before.
Yes, every problem is a nail to a hammer as they say.

I work for a very large fortune 200 company and they full on embrace all of the DEI and ESG garbage. Get company wide emaios with DEI crap.

All of these consultants selling this crap has been a lucrative grift for these clowns.

what "individuals or countries" did the world health organization say were being stigmatized by the name monkeypox??? how strange. there are diseases called cowpox, swineflu and chickenpox. is the WHO changing those names, too? are "individuals and countries" worried cowpox, swineflu, and chickenpox are "racist and stigmatizing language"??
They also forgot cat scratch fever. It's definitely an insult to all cats so the name needs to banned.

(The majority of us liberals think most of this "wokeness" is nonsense, btw.)

It's global so it really doesn't matter if the majority of US liberals think it's nonsense.
And it's also now part of our laws (Biden EO) so that nonsense can cost you your job.

What used to mean one thing has changed and now means something else...could be good or could be bad.

And then people wonder why we're becoming more isolated.....

Have they decided that "Hello" is racist and shouldn't be said anymore yet ?
Woke is politicall correctness that has been taken to the extreme by the mentally ill.
