What is a "Woke" Game

I mean we all share a common ancestry if you want to go back far enough.  My point is there are different jewish ethics groups.  Ashkenazi = European Jew and while there common dna with Arabs there is also DNA that unique to Ashkenazi that allow them to be identified as Ashkenazi. When I submitted my DNA it did not come back as some middle eastern country even through clearly some of my DNA link me there but it came back as European jew because there are distinct markers for that also.  For example from your article "Richards et al. published work suggesting that an overwhelming majority of Ashkenazi Jewish maternal ancestry, estimated at "80 percent of Ashkenazi maternal ancestry comes from women indigenous to Europe, and [only] 8 percent from the Near East, with the rest uncertain"".  My point is there been enough time from the initial migration form the middle east for multiple ethics groups among jews to form. 

Regardless, I feel like you are pushing farther from the original point.

That it's a ethnoreligious group, anyone can thus become Jewish in the religious sense.

I've met a lot of people who argue only women should be in positions of power because of historical wrongness needs to corrected. Apparently the "future is female" is some kind if a subset of this attitude.

Women and Men are roughly 50/50 population. (It's 101 men to every 100 women, but who cares.)

There is an under representation of women in "positions of power" - Not just because of historical wrongness, but because of social norms.
And yes, that needs to change and become equal opportunity.

This isn't the 1920's where women are expected to stay home and raise children, they are allowed to pursue a career as well.

Actually you ARE being harassed for being a religious person and you're expected to be an atheist, but at the same time calling out religions for their bullshit is islamophobia, according to the excact same people who think religions are bullsit. And I'm not even exaggarating.

The fact is... Everyone on this planet is born Atheist. No exception.
That is a lack of belief in any God or Gods (plural).

It's only later in life that they are indoctrinated/recruited into certain religions/beliefs/cults.

So I think by default, Atheism should be the expectation as it's literally the default position. - That is of course, until religion can start to prove it's God/Gods actually exist, but after thousands of years that hasn't eventuated.
Remember... Freedom -of- religion also has the implied right of Freedom -from- religion. - Atheism should be the default with other "options" available to those who wish to pursue those paths rather than have it (religion) rammed down peoples necks.

Conversely... Many highly concentrated Atheist countries are actually successful... They haven't burned to ground in fire and brimstone.

30 years ago nobody cared who played who and wrote the story as long as the movie was good. Today it's "blackface" or "cultural appropriation" if some characted doesn't play some certain bracket reserved for his or her otherness. Squid Game is being criticized because there's a dude playing a trans, instead of trans playing trans. 

It's a good question whether you can write a story about someone that someone else think you can't identify as/with. I would guess it's not appropriate - if it's not now, it soon might be. 

Who cares? Lets take Brokeback Mountain, which was a highly critical film despite the fact both actors (Australian Heath Ledger and American Jake Gyllenhaal) were straight. - Both actors portrayed their characters absolutely brilliantly.

The issue actually exists on both sides... The progressives are whinging about incorrect representation... And the conservatives are whinging about to much representation.

Both sides need to calm down, they are as bad as each other... Rather we should be judging each media release on their individual merits, if a straight male actor can play a Gay Trans man and portray that character extremely well... It should be noted and applauded.
...But sadly conservatives don't even want it to get that far. - They want zero representation of minorities.
