Webster's dictionary defines "woke" as "being aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues"

OED defines it as "well informed, up to date".

Certain dictionaries have added "to racism and social injustice".

Someone explain why being "woke" is a bad thing. It has been hijacked by politicians to support certain views and perhaps create an issue where there is none!
