Yes the USA Karen in Central Park in NYC in a Panic as a Black man is near her. She was meant to have her dog on a lead. Racist thoughts in her head |

For example, there are plenty of male Karens. And more than a few female Gammons. |

Funnily enough, one of the biggest Karens I've ever known was an Indian man. A rather wealthy one, so I guess wealth privilege comes into it to some extent.

Yeah it's more of an undue sense of entitlement rather than a race or gender thing, but "Karen" just encapsulates it so well

Too glam to give a damn

I haven't seen many, tbh.
I guess they're used to stereotype right-leaning people, just like the word 'snowflake' is used to stereotype the left? |

So there IS a section of people that it's okay to stereotype!
I'm sure the white people worrying about whether blackface can ever be funny are the same ones endorsing this as 'fine'. |

I don't believe women can be gammon either, only socialisation produces these types, it's a whole life process imo. For instance a little boy is influenced a certain way, by his parents he seeks out peers with similar views as friends, joins the military. Reads and watches certain papers and media, avid sports fan and drinker. And they are white. For me the female equivalent of gammon is karen. Love your sig btw

Feel a bit sorry for any normal person called Karen, actually. Because she isn't normal.

It would be nice if stereotypes could be erased across the board, but that ain't going to happen when white people are quite happy to stereotype other white people while moaning about white people stereotyping people of other races, personally I don't get it, but I live by my own rules, not some rules set by twitter et al

I've seen comments by people called Karen saying that they aren't offended by the memes and that they understand that it's nothing against them, it's just a common name that happened to become part of the joke.
