In reply to the discussion: If you spend more time and effort complaining about racist white women being called "Karen" [View all]Celerity
(54,010 posts)around for years and still maintains it salience and specificity.
A Karen embodies white privilege, entitlement, racism, and white fragility.
If those traits and behaviours are not applicable to a person, then they have no case nor cause to complain.
I do not use it any other way. Also, the fact that some people are named Karen has nothing to so with it. If the shoe fits, wear it, if not, then ignore.
All this angst over it just proves the point it is a valid meme.
It is a valid tool to name and expose white, racist women who use white privilege and systemic racism to attack
us people of colour, all whilst exhibiting tremendous hubris, arrogance, senses of entitlement, and white fragility.
I reject these silencing attempts that try and falsely conflate it (the Karen meme) with other things.
