These are all just guestimates,

First, "ANTI-woke" means white people maintain unfair advantages. That's 58% when you remove Hispanics, blacks, Asians, etc.

It also means that women continue to face a glass ceiling. So take another 30% out, which is the white women, leaving 28%

It certainly means that LGBT people will be persecuted. That's another 3% that weren't already excluded, leaving 25%.

And then we have people subject to age discrimination, religious biases, physical and mental disabilities. Caring for them ain't "anti-woke". So that leaves us with about 20% of the population that has a reasonable expectation of benefiting from a war on DEI.

It should not be possible for a 20% minority to sustain this position. Let's keep pressuring companies to reject this hate.
