Apparently “woke” dates back to the 1950’s

"Did you see the murder happen?" "Yes I did." "What can you tell us about the perpetrator?" "I got a very clear look but I'm afraid I won't be of much help. They were 6 feet tall but I didn't ask them what gender they are nor did I ask them for their blood type."

Don't report skin color, then don't report hair color. "Be on the lookout for a man wearing blue jeans and a white shirt three weeks ago" is very effective for catching burglars.

People don't realize how old woke is. Some version existed at least since the 1700s, but it truly exploded in resistance to eugenics and fascism in the 1910s/20s, became widespread by the 1930s and 40s, and was already mainstream among the young and educated elite by the 1950s.

The part where they zoom in to the black guy’s skull is crazy.

Blood type? If they describe someone has having the "Duffy" antigen, you might as well have reported race.

Love how he completely buries his fundamental implicit assumption, because it is so retarded it commits seppuku on inspection. The unstated assumption that criminal record vitals are for the purpose of judging by race, rather than to identify the criminal apprehended. Skin color>

In homogeneous Japan, a popular pseudoscience involving blood types has created its own kind of discrimination, proving that bigotry will always find a way to manifest itself.

The tv presenter had an interesting background.

Lol they haven't updated at all

I live by the humors

In the first ten seconds we're treated to the speakers barely disguised fetish.

"There's no such thing as race!" say the people who make you check your race on a job application.

Parallel to this. Look closely at the date. Note: This is the official Time Magazine website.

The main character and his girlfriend are noticeably woke in A Confederacy of Dunces, which blew my mind as it was written before 1980.
