Karen

Karen
The stereotypical name associated with a rude, obnoxious, and insufferable middle-aged white woman. The woman who will call the police on people of color, who are doing nothing wrong.

And the woman who will point a gun at others With Her Finger On The Trigger! This woman needs a course in safe gun handling. . .

As opposed to the Merriam-Webster definition of “Becky” as “a white woman who is ignorant of both her privilege and her prejudice.

"A “Karen” is basically a graduated Becky who’s extremely aware of her privilege and (who) weaponizes it."
She was the “Darth Karen” who called the police on a Black birdwatcher in Central Park.

"A few feet away, a woman (the Karen) pointed a pistol at the crowd, her finger directly on the trigger." --The Washington Post

The lady that will always take the children away from you when you divorce her. The lady that will never stop asking for the manager at the dollar tree and the lady that will check your daughters backpack.

Karen

Either the mother wanting the manager with a short haircut and blonde hair, or a poor innocent soul who got the shittiest name existing in man kind. Karen complains to the manager about everything. Her kid is gay? Blame it on the manager. She’s a bitch? Blame it on the manager. She is the embodiment of r/entitledparents and is proud of it.
Amy: Boss, a lady wants to complain to you.
Boss: Oh, is she Karen?

I was at the supermarket today and a Karen confronted me because my 2 year wasn't wearing a face mask. She called over the manager. When he told to her leave, she screamed out that I was a murderer and that she hopes my family dies of Coronavirus. Afterwards, she drove by in her Tesla SUV and gave me a nasty look.
