Sorry, unless Karen is being commonly used as a pejorative term for any random white woman regardless of behavior, you don't really have an argument here.

Karen is used to describe a person with a specific set of antisocial behaviors. I wouldn't say the requirement of being a white woman is a steadfast rule, as I've used and heard others use it across sex and racial lines.

In absence of those behaviors, Karen isn't used because it wouldn't make sense. Racial slurs are used to demean a person on account of their immutable quality, race. If the use of Karen changes such that people are using it to refer to any white woman, just to insult their being white or Woman, then the question can be reevaluated. Maybe at that point the Chris Rock argument might hold some water.
