White journalists have made the 'karen' term about sexism and classism, instead of touching on the key features of what being a 'Karen' is - which is severe racial microaggressions/racism and policing towards black people and POC. Complete erasure. But what's new?

@StephanieYeboah I genuinely had no idea it wasn’t just about ageism till the whole thing blew up a few weeks ago. Now I get the original meaning, it makes sense.

@StephanieYeboah I mean, not like it’s even a harsh word or anything. Much wore things to be outraged about.

@StephanieYeboah @NyLow9 They're uncomfortable. There's nothing a garbage person loves more than crying victim. A white person saying "Karen is a racist term!" is basically code for "maybe if I call someone racist first, they won't be able to call me out?"

@StephanieYeboah @NyLow9 All of this, and I’m not shocked people are agreeing with them either.

@StephanieYeboah @t0nit0ne Leave it to white people to completely change the narrative based solely on their uncomfortability surrounding conversations about race. I really wish they would just go away and start their own conversations since they so desperately wanna misunderstand.

@StephanieYeboah I mean the class thing is a huge part of Karen, why else is asking to speak to your manager. The Tans just mixed it it up because Karen isn't a popular name among upper middle class Brits and those are the only people who matter to Guardian writers

@StephanieYeboah @BenjaminPDixon Genuinely curious, because I entirely agree that calling Karen a classist slur or whatever is absurd, but does the fact that it's exclusively directed at women not make it a gendered insult (not slur)?

@StephanieYeboah that's why Karen has almost ALWAYS been the voiceover in every single statewide and national political campaign advertisement on radio and TV. They always appealing to that privileged wine mom identity

@StephanieYeboah @DarylSurat Yeah, i agree... but Karen yells at white ppl too, just as long as they’re poor. Honestly, in podunk Oregon, a Karen is just any female with β€œThat Haircut: With Intent to Speak to Your Manager!”

@StephanieYeboah @BenjaminPDixon Want to pretend white women haven't historically played a complicit role in preserving white supremacist patriarchy for 400 years as it's foot soldiers.
