A meta-analysis of 76 definitions of ‘Karen’ on Urban Dictionary reveals that only approximately 5% of the defining characteristics have a Karen being ‘racist’. The overwhelmingly definitive characteristics of the stereotype are, in order: that she wishes to speak to the manager (with a subset threatening to call the police) 28.25%; that she has kids, more than one, is overley protective and always takes them after the divorce 22.03%; that she has a swept, layered bob hairdo 11.06%; and that she is white and middle aged, both 10.73%.
Her attitudes to masks, vaccines, minorities and her own entitlement put together constitute less than 17% of the character of a Karen.
These facts have apparently presented no barrier to a cynical appropriation of this stereotype and the projection onto it of the fanciful notion that America is a fundamentally racist society, as portrayed in the recently released movie ‘Karen’. So few people will take the time to familiarise with the etymology of newly coined words that we are on the brink of millions of Americans being led dumbly by this movie to the conclusion that a Karen is a racist, illustrating that a politicised Hollywood and Madison avenue are the graveyards of natural language.

Get the Karen mug.In life there are many Karen's
1. The classic Karen- Bob haircut, false nails and usually blonde, they will do ANYTHING to speak to the manager. They always think there right even though 99.99% they speak pure flubblegobbin.
2. The Karen Karen (or double Karen)- These are people called Karen with the Karen stereotype. This double Karen occurs when the stars align on a Friday 13th.
3. The enigma Karen- A person called Karen who is really kind. She's the type to bake really good cookies. However, they only appear once in a blue moon

Get the Karen mug.a Karen is a woman who’s typically Middle Aged, an antivaxx mum because she believes vaccines cause autism, always wants to speak to the manager and doesn’t wear a mask because she’s “exempt” and will get triggered when questioned.
She’s such a Karen.
