I fail to find anything derogatory or sexist in labeling white priviledged women "Karen"

195. White women are oppressed but are also oppressors

And we have a particular spot in white supremacy, because white supremacy is partly organized around the concept of protecting white women. We can be dangerous when we use white privilege as a weapon, and white women both historically and recently have been dangerous in this way.

I am not in charge of the use of the word Karen. Nobody here at DU is. We keep having conversations around changing it or not using it as if it is our choice. I have seen Black people using it to describe a problem they haven't had a way to describe before. I am not going to sit and scold them for choosing a name to use for people who look exactly like me and who behave badly. Another part of white supremacy is white people trying to oversee and control responses POC have to racism. That's not my job.
