The book is most certainly not duplicitous in its condemnation of the woke culture. Though I never watch the show, it would have been nice to see him put those nasty biddies in their place.

Yes, the book is very condemning and direct against the woke culture. Which is why I have trouble reconciling the author of the book with other things he says and does. He admits to the double talk in this episode.
However, why should I believe that he is saying that he is only using the term "inequity" to appease those on the left that believe all racial disparities are caused by structural racism? If he is indeed conceding to appease, it is wrong to appease on that specific point because the current progressive agenda is that all racial disparities are because of structural racism and the only way to cure that is through equity. They are pretty firm in that stance and the way to address it.
The flip side of that is yes, there are racial disparities amongst groups of people, which, because of variou factors, are normal. Furthermore, while not discounting some of the lingering impact of real institutional racism from years ago, family structure, religion , culture, geography, education, and individual choice have a large(r) impact on many of racial disparities today.
If McWhorter is truly a Socialist Democrat, then he would believe in equity as a vehicle to reach those socialist ideals.
lol... Most liberal democrats are Socialist Democrats today and are pushing the Democrat agenda. Whether most Democrats know that is what their party has become... that is a different story.

According to Wikipedia, Dr. McWhorter describes himself as a "cranky Liberal Democrat" , whatever that means.
