Or do they reflect different beliefs about the sources and remedies of inequality?
You are still missing the point. it's not about reaching conclusions, it's being informed enough about an issue to have a discussion on it. Tossing "woke" out is a way to dismiss those discussions.

Taking your example, someone who considers the issue can debate the merits of each path. Someone who says "that's just a bunch of woke BS" dismisses it before giving the idea a chance to be examined.
