How the 'Karen Meme' Confronts the Violent History of White Womanhood

[frazzled]

24. It seems, by its very title, to be talking about "White Womanhood"

and its “Violent History.” That implies that all white women are potential Karens.

Any time we label a class of people with a specific tendency, be they white women or black men, we are engaging in bias. And bias is wrong no matter what color, gender, age, or religion is involved.

We have a number of Karens who have called the police. There are more we haven’t seen on video. But to suggest that all of white womanhood be tarred with these actions is just as wrong as saying that because we have seen some black men commit crimes that all black males have a history of violence, and that this is somehow endemic to their color and gender. Wrong.
