Rehash: Karens (early access)
🕑 Added 2023-04-03 14:40:51 +0000 UTCPlease enjoy this early access cut of next week's episode, Karens. This time we're discussing the notorious meme, and its reverse trajectory going from light-hearted jokes about annoying soccer moms, to her more insidious iteration as "Miss Anne". To what degree can we critique the elements of ageism and misogyny embedded in the Karen meme, while unpacking the very real and devastating consequences that "white women tears" have on BIPOC living in the U.S?

Totally! I think it stems from the same brand of entitlement and willingness to look down / infringe the boundaries of BIPOC

Even the "I want to see a manager!" Karen still had tinges of racism as they would aim their sense of entitlement at BIPOC service and retail workers as a microagression of sorts.
