    Google says it means (in slang) - "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination", and that it's usage was started by the black community.

    Frankly, I don't care what others may define it as.  To me, the definition of "woke" is (and always will be) – “the condition one suddenly finds themselves at 2 am by the sound of their cat horking up a major hairball next to their ear”.

    Woke. The kind of person who claims that Pepe le Pew promotes "rape culture" (despite the fact that he's been chasing the same female for 70 years), but have no problem with playing Grand Theft Auto V and lighting a hooker on fire so they don't have to pay her.

    Going by what Shuhak says is Google's definition, I am. 

    Going by Slarti's definition, I am not.
