Upset Karens Start a Petition for Their Names to Stop Being Used to Describe Racist Women

And let me tell you, it hasn’t been pretty.

And, once upon a time, they were merely an innocent and hilarious joke.

We’ve seen an unusual influx of nastier, more sinister Karens dominating our headlines.

In May, a white woman was publically ridiculed after she was filmed calling the cops on a black man.

And the woman, who has now been identified as Amy Cooper, was seen calling the police on a black man who had asked her to put her dog on a leash. Thankfully, Amy’s actions came back to bite her, and she was fired from her job in the days after the video went viral.

Thus kickstarting a new trend of labeling racist white women.

Because, just weeks after that incident, another racist Karen reared its ugly head.

She unleashed a barrage of hateful and racist abuse at the shopper, and even told her to “go back to Mexico.”

A Twitter user shared a shocking video that showed one of his neighbors in L.A vandalizing his car with a hammer in a brutal and racially-motivated attack.

If any bigoted white woman expresses racially-motivated hate or abuse, she is labeled as a “Karen.”  

Actual, real-life Karens have found the whole thing to be incredibly offensive.

And now, they have had enough of their titles being used to make fun out of racist women.

Started by Karen Masters (the master of Karens… Get it?), the description reads: “My name is Karen, and I’ve had enough of my name and my Karen friends being used to describe racist women in the tabloids.”

“It’s unfair to use a name to describe a collection of women who are racist or not law-abiding. As a Karen, this is upsetting and unfair.” “Please help me to get this stopped.”

Karen then appeared on the British breakfast show, This Morning, where she explained the reasoning behind her move further. “I just noticed a few memes and TikToks going on and, you know, it started off being quite funny… But then, when the BLM protests started, there was a lot of the media putting “Karens” as racist… It took on a life of its own.”

“We can’t, as Karens, talk about how this is affecting us because we are told we are entitled if we do this. So, I set up the change.org just to show that, actually, this is not fair for us to have to put up with this.”

People were very perplexed by the Karens’ appearances on the interview, and completely and utterly bemused by the petition.

You know it’s bad when one of your own disagrees with you.
