No, this vindicates woke if that's all it were. They didn't say how big a role. It obviously played SOME role. Trump questioned whether she was even black, and formerly questioned her citizenship. His surrogates made jokes about the White House smelling like curry. The immigrants eating dogs lie is clear fucking racism to anyone with a brain. The way she speaks and laughs is shaped by expectations that women need to be agreeable and approachable, etc.

This is what makes the right even more obnoxious than the left is about race. The left says 4 true things, then gets carried away and says 1 overzealous false thing, and so the right pounces on the 1 as an excuse to ignore the 4. They give an overbroad label to all 5 to try to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Same thing happening with “DEI” as a label for every single effort to combat racism, even anti-discrimination policies that have been on the books for 60 years.
