There are people in my current workplace demanding that we stop using the term Healthcheck as they perceive it as an affront to disabled people. There is clearly more nuance and ambivalence about the woke crowd than you are admitting.
As dumb as that is, that's an extremely un-dramatic thing to point to as some kind of counterexample to the parent's point, which seems to stand in spite of the people at your workplace.

#53BLM and other activists already flagged the post. Wnder how long will it survive to be on the visible list. One of the best ideas I have seen here on HN lately. Good job who came up with it. I wish you success, but don't get your hopes up in today's political climate.
Why must one identify with one of these groups to flag this post? It sounds like you're trying to group your enemies into camps.

#55This is great, a repo of companies that are hiring folks that don't give a shit about what's going on around them! Saying you are "unwoke" is simply turning a blind eye to the treatment of people around you. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke
The difference between caring and being woke is shameless self promotion and groupthink denigration of those who do not self promote. There simply are no humble "woke" people, all "woke" are bullies.

#56Huh. “unwoke" — rejects a particular viewpoint associated with the left. “Free-thinking and freedom loving” — while most people probably self-identity that way, currently these are actively used mostly by the right as distinguishing descriptions. “Not...further a radical agenda” — again, negative on a description used mostly for the left (“reactionary” would be for the right) Sounds like, despite claiming to be about…

Unwoke candidate: "I just want to follow orders"
Ironic, as that is exactly what the unwoke people think about the woke people. They see it as an ideology that you have to "take the knee" to, a ka "follow orders", to be accepted into the community.

So you're saying: The only thing necessary for the triumph of good men is for "this woke crap" to do nothing. Now that I see that, I'm pretty sure I disagree.
People simply prefer to work for companies that are not evil. That's not "doing nothing", that's voting with their feet.

Didn't google remove "do no evil" after they started investing in killer robots?
But for individuals, I think it is still an OK choice to make to not work for companies they personally consider evil.

#60Is it ok for black people to use this service? Whole thing has a whites only vibe
Why on earth should it not be OK for black people to use the service? And what is so "white" about it? Because black people are supposed to be activists and believe in identity politics? I follow plenty of black people on Twitter who don't belong to that crowd. Have you ever wondered if is ok black people to use Hacker News? After all, it was created by white people? (I don't even know the skin color of the creators…
Black people have no choice to interpret this as “we want to keep ignoring a soft genocide”.
No black person would want to be “unwoke” because to us that means enslavement, that’s how I know OP is nonblack.
