I share a lot of the sentiments you did here. I feel it’s beyond just referring to a white woman. Honestly my take on it is that it originally referred to privileged white women escalating minor inconveniences and made them into major issues often times asking to speak to a manager to get a retail or service worker in trouble.

Now I think that it refers to people of all colors, gender or sexual orientation coming from a point of privilege blow up over minor issues especially trying to management or cops involved where they don’t need to be.

I won’t hold anything against people that use the term, I think it’s just captured a phenomenon that has swept our nation and it calls it out.

I just feel bad for good folks named Karen. lol
