Is this Racist?

If a white guy calls a black person the N word what the difference calling a white girl Karen? What say you?

One has severe history behind the word & the other is some nagging lady who does things that embarrasses herself from the outlandish behavior that can be avoided. Nothing alike

You can't possibly be that much of a clueless idiot. But then again, it's you, Jimmy. You keep proving yourself to be a clueless idiot constantly on here.

How is the word “Karen” even remotely racist? Nowadays, it is used to refer to anyone (most often an older woman) who is an asshole to waiters/sales people and demands to meet the manager. If her wish is not granted, she will proceed to throw a fit and embarrass herself

I believe it is common sense that you cannot change your race or the level of melanin in your body.

Karen is not limited to a specific race.

[Birdlegs]

The fact that you said Karen instead of K word is good enough evidence

You can avoid making an ass out of yourself by not yelling at a 17 year old working at a McDonald's, you can't change the color of your skin. Basic stuff.

They're both racist terms, the N word has a longer history of use obviously. A black person calling a white woman Karen is no different than a white person calling a black person Tyrone or Shaniqua.

One is a race the other is just a special breed of bitch

[Msputiton]

Because Karen has nothing to do with race.
It is how someone acts.
🤦🏾‍♀️

A Karen can be black too.

I never saw Karen as being racist.

[SmokinAces2000]

Please tell me how those two things are even remotely comparable
