I'm not sure what you mean. I'm simply defending my stance that the term Karen is racist. People are saying it's not, because there are black Karens. I want to see a real example of a black Karen.
So when all the white people say Karen is it some form of self hatred?

Yes, Karen is a racist meme. I think they tried a few times to apply it to women of color, but it didnt stick at all. It is a meme for white, entitled women. Anyone saying otherwise is being dishonest, maybe ignorant. Its so accepted at this point, that fighting against it is gonna receive a lot of backlash, mainly mockery, which is what we get in this thread.

But Im sort of glad it exists. It is an example, we can easily point to, of how you can warp something enough so you dont have to feel cognitive dissonance when you use it against someone or some group you dont like. Its similar to how some people redefined the word racism, so they could be racist without feeling bad about it.

Racism implies that the party being insulted is also being oppressed. Please show me where white women are being oppressed by being called out because they think the rules dont apply to them.

Women are a minority class, they're oppressed just by virtue of being a woman.

Karen is a racist meme because it targets white women, who are a minority class and oppressed, ergo racist.

I'm saying women as a whole are oppressed, so obviously white women would be oppressed because they're a subset of women. What are you saying?

Those were more like characters. Like Bad Luck Brian. It wasn't seen like someone who had bad luck was named Brian.

Karen has basically replaced Soccer Mom at this point. If a woman is throwing a tantrum or being ridiculous she's called Karen. Probably because it's a popular name for that age group.

Were not discussing women as a whole. The topic of discussion is white women.

im saying you cant claim oppression and turn around and enjoy the privilege and entitlement thats been afforded to you.

So you're saying white women aren't an oppressed class? I guess we have to disagree, I would argue they're an oppressed class by virtue of being women.

A certain subset of ppl are upset about it.

People just see it as a meme about a personality and that is it
Its probably the same people that tell black people that they shouldnt get offended over some words and that they should just get over racism
