No.
PC was not using offensive language that’s degradingly to traditionally disadvantaged groups
Woke a African American word used back in the 30’s to describe the understanding of the racial bias inherent in the systems of America.
Both are completely misused and misunderstood by Republicans and to use anti-x to mean “I want to remain a complete asshole”.
You’re right, but in the way Republicans/the right uses them, they are identical.
Every few years they change up the terminology. After PC it became SJW. Then it became CRT. Then woke. Now it’s transitioning to DEI. In a few years they’ll change to a new term.
But, to them it all means the same thing “anything supporting non-white people, lgbtq people, and/or women.”

What’s nice of them is that they provide these easy to understand labels for themselves. “White male, mid 40s, used the word woke => avoid avoid avoid”
