Do Indians, Hausas and Congolese folk look pale to you?

I don't really use the term, but I honestly don't care if other people say it.

it's one of those terms that wouldnt be seen at all if the people using it took heed of their own rules on what terms shouldn't be used

I don't think I ever met a person called Harley but agree that any Karen I met in real life were very nice and not entitled

Karen Miller at my Primary school had lovely blue eyes and would give me her digestive biscuit from her packed lunch

Oh and to add, me and my best friend of over 25 years, HATED each other passionately in Primary school for a good year. We would fight, even our parents got involved and weren't on great terms. We disagreed on everything (obviously not politics, we were 9/10 after all), but one day, after fighting, we were left in an office together awaiting yet another bollocking and out of nowhere he quoted a wrestler, WWF was in it's late 90's boom over here. All of a sudden we chatting about it, realised we had a passion in common, same with football, and within like a week we couldn't be separated. He's still my best friend to this day.

Point being, if only we didn't feel the constant need to pick sides and not budge, im sure they'd be a lot more seemingly unlikely friendships out there.

All these new words are just made up words that describe someone acting like a ****.

I don’t think Karen’s a ‘new made-up word’.

And not a long-established name, no?

Right, okay.

Don’t have a problem with people calling someone Karen, I wouldn’t call someone Karen but some thing far worse in the situations I’ve seen it used.

And just to cut out the pointless back and forth that this post may cause, I’m not interested if you disagree with me, it’s called having an opinion.
