"woke" keyword
"woke" should not be a keyword. It's definition: "alert to injustice in society, especially racism." This is extremely subjective, so it could perhaps be included in a review, but it has no place in a keywords list.
I think of similar possible keywords from the past, like "hip," "with in," "chic," etc., etc., etc. "woke" is very contemporary, but it is an opinion, not a fact. It could even be considered slang.
Please, delete "woke" as a keyword.

When others ask for keywords to be merged or deleted, don't you usually say they should be audited title by title?

Something is certified "woke" if The Rolling Stones, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, Time, Salon, Vox or the like say so, right? Could that be a viable criteria?

There is indeed a problem of formulation in that. As far as I know there are larger terms like "woke culture" or "woke subcultre", maybe titles pertaining the newer meaning of the world could be moved there. Although, ther term is borderline derogatory nowadays, as well...
Right now keyword is kind of a mess.

Believe me, I was not talking to myself (although some self-searching is going on), nor only to Karen_P, but, more importantly, to all contributors, and, most importantly, to the staff.

A definition of "woke" from the Urban Dictionary: “the act of being very pretentious about how much you care about social issues.”
That really seems like a very subjective judgement.
