The term "Karen" is a pejorative used to describe a specific stereotype of a middle-aged white woman who is perceived as entitled, demanding, or exhibiting privileged behavior. This stereotype often includes actions such as complaining to management, making unreasonable requests, or displaying a lack of awareness regarding social issues. The term gained popularity on social media, particularly during the Black Lives Matter movement, as it highlighted instances of racial insensitivity. The "Karen" meme has sparked discussions about privilege, race, and gender dynamics in society. While some view it as a humorous critique of entitled behavior, others argue that it can perpetuate negative stereotypes and be used to dismiss legitimate concerns. The term has also led to broader conversations about how societal expectations shape behavior and perceptions of individuals based on their demographics.
