You're purposefully misreading the situation.

A BIPOC receiving a grant is not the issue, the issue, and what might be considered "woke" is to give the grant because they are BIPOC. That's "equity".

Equity means awarding people based on immutable characteristics and makes every interaction in society a racist/sexist struggle.

Anyway, you may be in favor of it, which is fine. Just know that it's an incredibly unpopular movement that is widely rejected internationally, and also in most developed nations across the political spectrum, minus the far-left.

Even the idea to call said people "marginalized" is insulting.
