re: "Karen" is now a racist term

But, why the name Karen? One suggestion is that it comes from a 2007 bit by Dane Cook called “The Friend Nobody Likes.” (The friend was named Karen.) Another explanation is that it comes from the character Karen in the 2004 film Mean Girls, who’s the subject of the popular quote: “Oh my God, Karen, you can’t just ask someone why they’re white.” It’s even been put forth that Karen comes the even earlier 1990 film Goodfellas, one of whose characters is named Karen.
Whatever the origin of the slang, the name Karen, apparently, is popularly thought of as a generic-seeming name for a middle-aged white woman of certain generation.

I believe its the generic name for the type of woman that demands to see the manager. Probably has the stereotypical haircut and a Live, Laugh, Love sign in her house. Basically all white women in Livingston Parish that aren't daily meth users.

Posts meme that spells out "Karen" 3 different times.
Uses "N-Word" instead of spelling it out.
Says "Karen" is stronger and/or equivalent to the word she won't even spell.

I keep hoping that one day these fricking retards learn that in fact under the United States Constitution you have no rights to NOT be offended.
Get over it fricktards.

I never got on the Karen bandwagon in the first place. It all seems just a little silly, but now that some idiots think it’s racist or sexist, or what have you, maybe I’ll start using it.

Use Ka'en to avoid the hard "R"
But it's cool, I had a lady at my church growing up named Karen, and she said I was ok to say it
