That's an argument of degree reasonable people can entertain. Perhaps wokeism is best considered by lumping its adherents/would-be adherents into two groups:
1. People who assess race's importance in terms of degree;
2. People who insist it is primary in all things
The former would be people like Michael Eric Dyson. The latter would be indefensible binary thinkers like Kendri.
A convenient test to assess valid and invalid thinkers would be to ask whether one insists that there are only racists and anti-racists, and no other categories. If you hold that view, I don't think you can be taken seriously.
The invention of new duties on the part of others is fascinating. That seems to come up a lot in moral panics.
