It's the same racism as saying "then this LaQuesha walked in and started demanding a refund."
I don't really lose sleep over either, but I'm surprised at how many white people are happy to parrot a term that is used to dismiss someone's opinion just because they are white and female.
For example I saw a guy opening his business in protest at lockdowns and there were comments about how he is a "white person who hasn't been told no before". So basically his right to run his own business is invalidated because he is white.
I see others use it and 99% of the time it's referring to a white woman. And I see it used not just when a woman is mad at not getting a coupon from a store, but also (for example) if a white woman comes out to defend her house from a barbaric BLM mob.
I.e., it's ok for people to threaten to burn down your house because you're a "karen".
White.

See I don’t see everything in a racial way like you do. Karen’s come in all races
I don't use it or "see it" any way myself.
