What does Woke actually mean

Modern educational trends might be inappropriate but education about the human condition should be a necessity and would be a far more appropriate approach. i.e., it could begin with the understanding that not everyone fits into either an XX or an XY chromosome category. Pluss the fact that Humans are to the largest extent who they learn to be. 

It depends on how "long standing", ideas and understanding in this area change as increasing knowledge arrives on the scene.

The human condition is not stationary. There was a time when humans used to hang old women because they were perceived as witches. WE have learnt since that there are no witches as perceived in the days old ladies were being hung.

Progress in this area can only be made by understanding both the medical and the emotional side of the human condition. 

Sadly Sandy I think you have let your racial prejudices cloud your judgement.  To be clear employers are not allowed to reject people because of their colour skin - whether that skin is white or brown.  That's the law.  All positive action is doing is recognising that if your area has 20% black people but your workforce has 0% black people, it is suggestive that you are fishing in a smaller pond for your new recruits and therefore suggestive that you are not getting the best possible people for your company.  It may not be of course - it may be statistical coincedance, there may be some factor that makes white people in your are more qualified for the jobs than black people or it may be that your workforce is too small for the sample to nbe statistically significant. Positive action just gives you the right to try to address the issue if your company feels it is missing out on the best recruits.  

I am surprised we are having to go over race in TV advertisements again. Its pretty obvious.  An advertiser, lets say Fairy Liquid, has perhaps 30 seconds to sell its product to as many people in the UK that it can.  A typical ad will have perhaps two characters.  They want the viewing public to buy into the characters and their story and hence be like them using the product. To do so the advertiser wants the character to be cheery, approachable, reasonably attractive and as much like the viewers as possible.  If there is one character they will almost invariably by white skinned as they look like most viewers, if there are two characters the second character will often be blackskinned as nothing to be gained by having a second white skinned person and the second black skinned person can subconsciously appear more like them to the ethnic monority audience.  Its not about making political statements - its all about selling bottles of fairy liquid.

Humans. like most animals are largely controlled by their genes. Nurture only determines how limited the gene pressures will be, what genes are switched on and how one behaves within society (which will always be subject to immense gene pressure to behave either contrarily or positively)

Sandy this is getting a little tedious. I have explained to you that companies may employ positive action to seek to encourage more applications from communities under-represented in their workforce but when it comes to selecting a new employee, it is illegal to ban applications from one or other sex, sexual orientation or race and it is illegal to award the job to say a woman where a man is better suited to the job. If you want to believe the law is otherwise to fit in with your racial paranoia well you crack on. You are factually wrong though.

Similarly I have explained to you why people get selected for tv adverts. If however you want instead to see convoluted conspiracies, well everyone needs a hobby.
