This is your annual reminder that when we say "politically correct" or we say "woke," what we mean is "treating people with compassion," or "being a decent human being."
So when we say, "I'm not politically correct" or "I hate woke!" what we mean is, "I don't want to treat people with compassion," or "I hate having to be a decent human being."
Prompted by a post at P.Z. Myers.
Oh, and if the word "equity" bothers you, because equality is all we really need, then what you're saying is "I've got everything I need, fuck the rest of those people."

I fear that for the next four years, I will mutter to myself, "This is why we can't have nice things."
Same!
I'm always delighted when I run across someone I knew in the south enjoying winter. My kid brother repeatedly proclaims "I do not like snow" while I keep waiting for something heavy enough, when it's been cold enough, to actually stick.
Hopefully you get more than a week of winter. I know I'll be hoping for that.
I too am waiting for snow!
