Any time I hear some one complaine about " Wokeness" or DEI o ask them to define it or which part of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion do they not like.

You get a lot of panicked answers

The most coherent I've heard is some variation of "I don't want underqualified people to get jobs over qualified people simply because of their demographics.

No one has any evidence of this occuring of course. At least not beyond hearsay or a single anecdote about someone they just know was a diversity hire I swear.
