Row over ‘woke’ map as Paris gears up for Olympics
A controversy has erupted in Paris as the city prepares to host the upcoming Olympics. A map created by the organizing committee, highlighting key landmarks and venues, has sparked debate over its use of the term “woke.”
The term “woke” has been used in recent years to describe a state of awareness regarding social and racial injustice. However, some critics argue that its inclusion on the map is inappropriate and could be seen as pandering to certain political agendas.
The controversy has divided opinion in the city, with some defending the use of the term as a reflection of modern language and values, while others believe it has no place on a map representing a major international event.
As Paris gears up for the Olympics, it remains to be seen whether the controversy over the “woke” map will overshadow the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming games.
