What is a “Karen“? If you don’t know by now, you’re a lucky person.
According to multiple authorities from Urban Dictionary to The BBC News, a “Karen” is a type of middle-class (usually white woman, though, now it’s possible for any privileged person to become a Karen) who “demands to speak to the manager.” Basically, an entitled person who doesn’t use their white privilege for good.
Instead, a Karen will use threats of “calling the police” to scare people into helping her win an argument over extremely important things like wearing a mask at the grocery store or who can be in the public park. You become a Karen when you throw a tantrum in public.
Luckily, 2020 was the year of the Karen and we got a lot of it on film. Now, scientists can study the phenomenon for decades to come.
There’s now a Reddit group with one focus: roasting rude Karens. If you were caught on video being rude or decided to tweet something racist, look out. This subreddit is coming for you.
