Thanks for this article and the resources. I am wondering though about the effectiveness of using the term Karen when we are trying to dismantle racism. I know that it is not the same to equate terms that represent entitlement and privilege with the impact of racism, but I believe using that term is the same as calling someone a name and a lazy way of making a point. It is also a respected name for many black women and just not a good way to name the behaviors. Thank you for considering this comment. I know that I represent a different generation and communication style but do not believe it changes the narrative. Again, the article is excellent and should be widely read.
