So to make it meme it gets abstracted to "some self absorbed busybody stirring up unnecessary trouble for other people" or something similar. Nothing really racist or sexist about it at that point is there?
- nerdponx 5y agoIts origins are "racist" and "sexist" in that the stereotype is specifically a white woman. I don't think there's anything wrong with a little stereotyping: the only reason it's "bad" is that actual bigots ruin the fun, so to speak. If anything, I feel bad for people named Karen.
- ratsmack 5y agoWhen we make every abstract thought racist, it weakens and renders the word "racist" into a casual meme, not unlike the name "karen".
