I think I am at least an average participant in woke culture. I spend at least a third of my life online (outside remote work etc). I have never heard anti-racism defined like that. Are we sure this is a widely accepted meaning? Maybe it is on college campuses.

Are you unfamiliar with Kendi? I thought he was something close to "required reading" for anyone aligned with woke thinking.
I am not familiar with any required reading for being woke. For me its just a realization that our systems are not perfect and there are ways to improve them and make them more accessible. You can get to this position by just looking around you (if you are not part of the dominant socio-economic group). Its quite obvious. Whenever someone mentions names to me, I just let it pass through me. What is important is the argument.
