That's how commercials work, bud. 

It's not the woke bogeyman, it's just advertising.

I'm just giving what I consider to be 'woke' and Google's Pixel ad is an example. It feigns social consciousness when it's really just sleight of hand being used to sell a product.

Hmm, So you are now defining a new definition for woke.  Before it was stuff people did not like, now you are adding advertising to the list as well.  Its not like there are hundreds of ads that advertise to groups of people of different race, genders skin tones etc so why is this any different.  You say it feigns social consciousness but that isn't correct.  What it does is try to sell a feature that Google believes will target a group which is people with dark skin to buy their product. 

The fact you label this as woke seems like you will label anything woke that doesn't advertise to white people.  There are hair products, lotion, food, cloths just to name a few that advertise to non white people so would all of those be considered woke to you as well.
