I do not care if some snowflakes claim that Karen is slur.
I want them to be offended.
There are a lot of Karens out there.
Feminists are gvelching and claiming that Karen is a slur, because the term refers to an insufferable busybody bitch, who is usually the product of Feminism.

It's not a slur; while it may be a mildly rude word to use, it's more based on their behavior than race. If someone's rude and/or violent about little things, someone might call them a Karen, but you wouldn't walk up to any white woman on the street and call them a Karen if they didn't do anything wrong. It's also not a word that's necessarily JUST for white women, but white women are more often caught behaving in a privileged/entitled and annoying sort of way.
There was Karen Black, who was white, who was possessed by a doll who looked black but who was actually not.
Never heard of it? Is this an American thing that's just come over the pond? Is it an acronym? How is calling someone Karen offensive? It's like 'Cracker'? I don't get it? I mean yea it's a biscuit and it's white (ish) food? I'd be as offended if they called me a 'lightly seasoned vegetable stock cube' or 'Self raising flour'?
I'm obviously missing the background, I'm sure someone will woke me..

There are definitely Karens of all different backgrounds.
i guess they should be called karen too
i actually just leaned about this karen thing , i believe this kind of stuff happened everywhere , so all people from from all of races and gender have same potential to be "karen"
i just recently saw an extreme video about this on youtube , ironically , the victim is white young girl who worked at starbucks , the "unknown" angry karen throw hot coffee on her , it is obviously an assault and this "angry karen" should be arrested.I wish they would use a name other than Karen. It must make those whose name really is Karen feel bad. My first girlfriend's name was Karen so I hold a special feeling for that name.
Other than that I don't know how to answer the question. I DO know the type of person this term refers to though... LOL!No, it's not specifically a racial slur. Most Karens happen to be white, but it specifically refers to middle-aged women who have particular attitudes toward things like food service, retail work, neighborhood upkeep, school management, etc.
No, Karen is just a shorthand for (usually) middle aged (usually) white women who go into shops and complain about stupid bullshit and expect to be given royal treatment by the staff she's verbally harassing. I encounter them often enough at work.
Karen is generally used for s type of person who behaves entitled, irrespective of face.
Since it's an americsn trend, I guess that explains why it's mostly white women who are called this.
But any race or gender can have Karens.Still Karen. It is a race-neutral term. Now the male equivalent could be Ken, Kevin, Darren, or any other similar name one could think of.
Preeetttttttttty sure Karen isn't applied only to white women, just often. Black, Asian, Latino, etc Karens exist too though, no doubt in that.
Karen is not a racial slur at all. Karen’s can be any type of ethnicity, what makes you a Karen is your attitude and the way you act
It's not a racial slur. Although, most Karens do happen to be white, but I think it's more of a generational thing as it specifically refers to middle-aged white women who get hissy when their expired coupon is refused at the grocery store.
No, it’s a stereotype. And it’s not the first either. Think Becky, Shaniqua, Tyrone, Lin Lin, Consuela etc, etc.
Dont give us ideas. We can definitely come up with names for women of all races
If someone gets offended by being called Karren it's because they are a fucking Karren.
Obviously... It's like calling any black guy you see Tyrone.
Karen is a proper noun used as a common noun in slang to identify and/or categorise a person's public misconduct. The origins of the proper noun are not a consideration in its meaning; therefore, it is arguably not a racial slur.
no it's a race neutral term for a woman who is offended by EVERYTHING. Trys to get people cancelled just because they said something they don't like etc
What the fuck is brown? It’s just Black, White and Asian as in race. Brown isn’t an mf race bloody hell hate when people say brown.
Any race of women can be a Karen, they're just stereotypically upper middle wealth middle aged white women
I dont get the hype around Karen haha
My cousins name is Karen and she is so sweet 😭😭😭
It's a name not an insult 😤😡Na, Karen is a personality, mindset, temperament lol. A loose cannon, a flimsy bull in a china shop 😆.
