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

[Sympthsical]

197. It doesn't

I know this is all new to people who don't spend a lot of time within meme culture (usually older users of the internet). But as a relatively younger sort, I promise you that Chad is in no way a complimentary term as it is contemporaneously used.

Karen hasn't changed. It definitely had origins in the service industry. In that case, it was a class distinction. Usually older, middle to upper class, (and almost always) white women who used their status to belittle and harass lower class service workers.

Applying it to racial minorities doesn't change the use. It's leaning on one's status to put someone "in their place." The racist incidents apply.

I love that people are spending so much time on this. It shows that privilege can go deep even on our side. Were black people hogging the victimization spotlight or something? People got jealous and decided they, too, needed to feel oppressed, so now this word that's been around for ages is the ultimate evil of the week?

I hope people realize how silly and privileged they look with all this. Black people are dying in this country, but no, it's "OMG, you guys. Let's do Ivanka!" "Right?!" "It's just so sexist. I'm so offended." "Why don't people care about my feelings?!"

There's a word for this behavior. Tip of my tongue.
