I would say old stock protestant background whites in the large metros are more likely to be woke than Italians or Irish or Poles. The “Ellis island Catholics” may be more likely to be woke just because they are more likely to live in those metros. Jews of course are over represented in any left wing cause and make up a large part of the “woke” donor class. It’s probably partially true that the opening of elite positions to Jews after the 1980s and their subsequently making up a huge share of elite white people replacing the old wasps is a big part of the leftward shift of the American elite.
