I like to ask anybody in a tirade against "wokeness" or "DEI" what their definitions of those words are and what they find objectionable about it.

If they can define it correctly (most can't), they usually can't put into words what they don't like about it other than that the idea of other people being treated equitably and respectfully makes them feel threatened , vulnerable, or marginalized. Which is absurd, but expecting these people to think beyond themselves is asking too much.
