There are absolutely woke positions out there. I interviewed with a company that had multiple interview sessions. One of them I was alone with the only black guy on their team. He asked me a few questions about the job that I answered thoroughly showing I know the subject matter.
Then he started asking me about what movies I liked, where I grew up, started telling me how he had to grow up in gangland Chicago. And the more it went on the more I realized I was being interviewed by this guy for my wokeness and this company was allowing this black guy to make the choice on who was going to get hired.
They declined to hire me because I "wasn't sincere enough"...exact quote. In other words I didn't display any white guilt because I don't have any.
You just gotta keep looking. Where I'm working now there are zero black people on the team. It's nice. It's refreshing. There's no racial tensions. I'm not having to check my privilege while being assigned to help a diversity hire not embarrass management with his piss poor work ethic and knowledge.
New job, dramatic raise in pay. Enough to add another member of the family.
