Row over ‘woke’ map as Paris gears up for Olympics

A controversy has erupted in Paris over a map created by local officials that labels certain neighborhoods as “woke” ahead of the city’s bid for the 2024 Olympics.

The map, which was released as part of a promotional campaign for the Olympics, has sparked debate among residents and politicians alike. Some see the labeling of neighborhoods as “woke” as a positive step towards promoting diversity and inclusion, while others argue that it is unnecessary and divisive.

Paris is gearing up to host the Olympics in 2024, and the city has been making efforts to showcase its inclusivity and diversity. However, the release of the map has raised questions about the city’s approach to these issues.

Local officials have defended the map, saying that it was created in an effort to celebrate the city’s diverse communities and promote inclusivity. They argue that labeling neighborhoods as “woke” is a way to highlight the activism and social awareness of residents in those areas.

Despite the debate, the map has drawn attention to the ongoing conversations around social justice and inclusion in Paris, as the city prepares to host the Olympics in just a few years.
