Spot on, Nina. I’ve been saying this for years and been called a Karen for doing so. Also been accused of weaponizing white woman tears (although I do not cry), and being a racist old Boomer. Divide and conquer works, sadly.
There is another word for many so-called Karens. The word racist could be accurately applied to the Central Park woman who called the cops on the Black guy. The word racist in the context of what's going on today, from Florida's slavery-was-good-for-slaves educational standard to the entirety of the DeSantis and Trump campaigns, is gravely underused. I advocate using it.
100 percent agree. But if you look at the Karen memes - millions online in 2020 - they were not all racist. And not all "karens" are racist, many are very nice.
A big thank you for your take on the "Barbie" movie! I had never planned to see it, and you told me why. (That everything was said to be Pepto-Bismol pink was something I knew I could not tolerate. And then learning Mattel had "signed off" on the movie told me a lot.)
