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

199. It not being the worst thing to ever happen doesn't mean it's not unpleasant

What good is it doing? Karen is a common name for the late baby boomer generation and a lot of them are complaining about being labeled. I have about 10 in my high school class. Yeah it's not like being a slave or a victim of genocide, but then most people don't experience that. I see on DU we are not to call a woman a "bitch" and now a common name is used to say essentially the same thing.

Hogging the victim spotlight? I see. It's great to be a victim. Then you can guilt everyone else. I guess that's the payoff? And in groups, not as individuals.

Black people are not dying en masse. Look at the number of police shootings per contact and they are rare. Black men disproportionate true, but it's not so common that you can say "Black people are dying" as if it's a common thing. A few videos of "Karen" shown as if every black person encounters such a white person every day. No, it's rare, that's why someone whipped out their phone.

A problem, but what is the point of exaggerating it, thus giving it less credibility with the average American. Exaggeration does seem to be part of our culture generally.
