Karen

[Rollypolly 51]

Is it just me that find it offensive when people use the name Karen to describe a woman that's racist or generally not very nice. I'm related to a Karen and she is the complete opposite of this stereotype. We wouldn't put up with calling people names because of their race (quite rightly) but it seems to be ok to pick on Karens!

Are Karens a protected characteristic?

 

No, so its fair game.

I don't like it either. 

It reeks of a sort of snobbery that says much more about those calling names, than their intended target.

As the old saying goes... "Sticks and stone may break my bones but names will never hurt me."

Ken's are out there.

Wallys, you either have to find them, or worse, they keep finding you

Herberts have had a rough deal for years.

I remember when girls called either Sharon or Tracy were picked on
