i think Karens trying to shield themselves behind the slur argument is dumb in case you couldn't tell.

but replace "Karen" in your post with any other slur and tell me what's wrong with what you just said.

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.
