What in the god damn was that.
1) Stop capitalising "white".
2) "little old White women are prohibited from attending church" - [citation needed]
3) "popularisation of "Karen" racist dialogue" - how is this racist?
- InTwoDeepEnd 6y agoMany people and even some mainstream outlets capitalise "Black" but deliberately avoid doing so for "white", including in a HN post within the last 24h. If they insist on making this petty distinction, I'll happily play along.
- obscoth 6y agoIt’s crazy how racists like you still live and breathe.
- forest_dweller 6y agoI wouldn't personally call it racist or sexist (as I've seen the term used for both men and women and of different races). However the logic works like this: Tyrone is a internet stereotype of a thuggish blackman. The stereotype of Tyrone is considered by some to be racist (probably quite rightly). Karen is a stereotypical entitled white woman. So if calling someone a Tyrone is racist, therefore calling a woman a Karen is also racist. Not saying I agree with any of it. But that is my understanding of how the logic works.
