Just seen this on Instagram, seems she’s from a famous family 🙄

I don't think Karen or Gammon are racist terms, simply because people get called that based on their attitude, rather than, solely, your skin colour. No one is calling nice older people Karen or Gammon, only bigots and entitled people have it thrown at them.

Saying that, I was called a Karen last year by a young man because I said, on Instagram, women are scared of men who catcall them

Sorry don't agree. Anytime I open my mouth to complain Karen is directed at me because you know as a woman I should know my place and never complain about anything 😌

Actually, are moaning middle aged black women ever called Karen? Or women with that hair style? If not, I suppose it’s the equivalent of calling someone doing something stereotypically black a name that is stereotypical to the action 🤔 then I suppose it is racist. Only however if it’s a none white calling a white woman Karen. Saturday evening musings 😂

But it's because you're a woman, isn't it? Not because of your colour. It's meant to cause offence, definitely and it isn't pleasant and you should be allowed to complain without being called that.

Ah no, it’s definitely because of your colour. Karen’s can really only be white women, the same way Gammons can only be white men.
although I also hear similar “names”being directed to black and brown people, the difference is social media hates middle aged white peoples at the minute and so that’s the one that’s gone viral (in my opinion)

this isn’t directed at anyone by the way, but would there be much interest in an off topic chat? I don’t wanna annoy people who follow this thread purely for EE discussion only, it may be nice to separate?
 
I see Karen a trope from the Americans and on IG peeps can be snarky and far too deep, so don’t take it to heart.

I occasionally lurk on another thread here whenever it pipes up about an influencer that is unconventional shall we say, but am put off from commenting as there’s a few I would hazard a guess their attitude is Karen-like as they b!tch a lot about him and don’t really understand or appreciate black American culture. I just laugh at their comments because it’s not that serious 🧐

Thankfully this EE thread appears to be Karen-free 😂

Alright you slaags 😂 stop nishing about with Karen’s and tell them to STFU 😂

I agree, it's only white men and women that get called those names but it's more based on their attitudes than it is on their colour and white people call each other those things
 
Why is it that every character in a wheelchair in EastEnders is horrible? We had Donna who was mean to everyone and Adam, Minty’s stepson, who was really manipulative and crazy. I know they’re trying to show that having a disability doesn’t mean you have to be an angel, but maybe just have one nice normal person who happens to be in a wheelchair.

I think Penny’s attitude makes sense out of all of them because her dad actions caused her accident

My cousins in a wheelchair and she's a right bleep as well! Gets away with bleeping murder the nasty witch that she is. Caused more trouble than enough in.her (rapidly dwindling) family. But everyone says 'Ah bless her leave her alone she's disabled' Her bleeping gob isn't disabled is it? Christ I feel as if I have had therapy I feel great for that rant. Thanks for listening and sorry mods .
