The origins of a Karen and what it is

According to BBC, the term "Karen" has become associated with a specific type of person who exhibits certain negative behaviours. For example, a "Karen" insists on speaking to a manager to belittle service industry workers, opposes vaccinations, and commits racist micro-aggressions, such as asking to touch black people's hair.

However, a vital aspect of the "Karen" stereotype involves using relative privilege to target people of colour. This can include making unfounded complaints against black people to the police for minor or nonexistent offences.

While the exact origins of the meme are unclear, it gained popularity for people of colour, particularly black Americans, to satirize the class and race-based hostility they often experience.

In recent years, "Karen" behaviour incidents have been more easily captured on camera and shared on social media. These videos often depict them calling the police on a black person for something trivial, such as an eight-year-old selling water without a permit. When these videos go viral, people on the internet often label the perpetrators with the common name "Karen" to reflect the situation.
