Get the Karenmug. An innocent person, typically considered a white, blonde female, who would normally be totally nice and 'cool' with and towards people, but is highly provoked by agent provocateurs into flipping out. The said provocateurs would them claim that the woman acted from a place of white privilege, when really she was reaction rationally to the level of provocation by criminally minded people from any walk of life.
OMG, remember the sweetest, most quiet girl with a flower in her hair from high school who no one ever did anything for but tease and taunt. Well, she totally Karen'd out because someone at the grocery store wouldn't honor her coupons for yogurt and the 'Karen' desperately needed to eat because all of her provocateurs created a world in which she can no longer make a living. And that Karen has no family members to help her or large groups of mobbing crowds on, say, a crowdfunding page.
