Having to listen to and be entertained by one of the world's most popular pop stars singing hits beloved by millions IN SPANISH could reveal that people different from me are good.

Woke just means being aware of white supremacy. The blues musician lead belly spoke the first recorded instance of the word in reference to the scottsboro boys.

The ignorant use of this term drives me up a wall.

Just like antifa or socialist. They're used pejoratively by people who don't understand them.

Yes, and some use the terms pejoratively while knowing exactly what they mean. Tactical ignorance
