I hope the readers here are aware that this is just the political smear machine being turned on by WaPo employees and their political friends that don't like this guy because he told them that 'woke' doesn't sell and that WaPo is dying because of them.
The timing of this NPR story is not a coincidence and is politically driven. That doesn't mean that it has no merit, but read it with a skeptical eye.

The term has been fully co-opted into smear that basically is a catch-all for all the terms for all the bad words that used to be used for black people, gay people, and most other minorities in the US.
