re:”karen”—the way we joke/mock white women exercising their whiteness as its intended: to racially dominate—still reinforces the myth of the perceived delicate/soft (+therefore, unthreatening) ww, as an innocent bystander of white supremacy as opposed to an active participant

don’t get me wrong; i, too, have found many of the videos depicting white women in their natural element quite hilarious. but, even i have to interrogate why an act of racial violence, is worthy of being memeified, honestly, even if we’re laughing ‘at’ her & not ‘with’ her.

and before the “let people enjoy things” crowd chimes in: i’m not even proposing folks stop mocking them, i honestly don’t care enough, lol. i just wanna make sure we’re treating white supremacists, as the equal threats that they are, regardless of their gender identity :)
