  1. Diversity really comes down to individualism. Each individual is a diversity. Having more or less ignorant folk, setting out what human diversity is comprised, sounds absurd. A fully diverse situation must accept the fact that each and every of us, of the global 8 billion, are a diversity of one, divided by 8 billion. Woke culture has an overweeningly hubristic approach to folk and what generally, folk will warm to. I encourage woke culture to speak up, present itself widely and fully, so that we may inspect it and make our personal judgments. Come on out of the shadows woke culture, come out of hiding in cushy institutions, come out and show your social credentials. The modern term WOKE stands for 'Willfully Objecting to a Knowledgeable Explanation'. The older genuine term 'woke' originated in the 1940s and refers to Negro Americans being aware and awake to their socially inferior position, which Martin Luther King fixed in the 1960s.
