This was on FB, youtube and I think here once. The people on Youtube already knew I wasn't even white and not born in the US. I have no pretty nor special privilege to even be arrogant about. Though I'm now married and we have a son, I wasn't hit on that much during my younger years and I've always been average in looks. I was raised in the US since early childhood (ages 4 to 20) and then returned to my country for private reasons I don't care to share. Though I'll be coming back soon.
Yet that's the word used on me lately. I might be outspoken on certain topics (esp if it's about glorifying violence) but is to make valid points. Is this bad though? A while back someone once said in a negative tone that I sounded Westernized and tried explaining that I was a disappointment for the hispanic community. I've heard enough of the negative stereotype of the white woman and white mother.
It was originally about a racist, middle-aged white woman that complains a lot. How can that be fitting for a non-white Latina?

"Karens" are not licensed by federal, state, or local governments to serve in that capacity, and there are no recognized minimum standards for being granted Karen status.
It was originally about a middle-aged white woman but not anymore. Now Karen is just universal. And it has nothing to do with beauty either, I don’t think anyone ever thought Karen’s were beautiful…
I don't know, I guess maybe they saw your comments as too emotional or closed-minded?
I guess. I just spoke my mind and thought my points were valid. I once spoke against the rule of blindly respecting your elders no matter what. For instance I think there is a limit to that. If the older person is rude first and is abusing their position, the younger people can ignore them or simply tell them off too.
I had to look up the Mexican version of "Karen". Is it the name? Would you rather them call you, "lady 100 peso's?"
I've just checked it out. It did originated from lady 100 pesos and it stayed with the name Lady. It does carries similar connotation for a Karen. It means a conceited, entitled woman. I'm not like that though. I just speak my mind when I don't agree to something and know they're in the wrong.
