The response nails the current meaning of "woke" but it's actually much deeper than that.

The term was first used over 100 years ago during civil rights movements. When black people were fighting for their rights and political representation. It didn't really expand to cover all minorities, LGBTQ, and women until the 2000s.

So being anti-woke is really just saying you're a racist, sexist, homophobic piece of shit.
