Karen is related to behavior, not race. It just so happens that white women happen to exemplify this entitled, whiny behavior most often, but there can be male Karens (in fact, your post is an excellent example of Karen-like behavior), black Karens, Hispanic Karens, Asian Karens.Bearitto said:Mitch Henessey said:It is decidedly not racist.Bearitto said:
The 'Karen meme' is racist. It's not surprising you use it.
I see. So picking a stereotypical white female name to attribute a single woman's behavior as typical of white women (which is what the meme does) isn't racist?
I guess there wouldn't be so many Karens if not for all the violent Shanaynays, Bonqueefas and Tyrondas. My goodness that sounds a little racist. Hmmmm
Maybe we could ask all those DeShawns, Tyrells and LaMarcuses out there looting to give us their thoughts? Or we could ask their baby mamas?
I bet all the Juans and Pacos out there, cutting grass are kind of pissed the DeShawns get to loot instead of work. The Juanitas and Marias cleaning hotel rooms probably feel the same way.

I dunno. I'm not aware of the name "Shanyqua" having achieved any level of popularity in this or any other generation.

You don't spend much time on Reddit, I presume (don't, it's largely a waste of time). There are a lot of instances of people other than white women being referred to as a Karen. Prime example being the white male insurance salesman who menaced an elderly woman in a FL Costco who asked him why he was not wearing a mask, despite it being store policy. Stereotypical Karen behavior.Mothra said:So, can you name an instance when someone OTHER than a white woman has been accused of being a "Karen"?Mitch Henessey said:Karen is related to behavior, not race.

I'm going to decline to do so because it's against this site's TOS, but there's an entire subreddit devoted to calling out bad behavior by Karens entitled r/f***youKaren.

And if you're offended by the Karen moniker, you'd really be triggered by some of the more fitting alternatives. The Brits have one they like that starts with a C, but I don't think that would go over very well here.
