It's just a meme calling into focus the tendency of white women (or anyone, really) to unnecessarily insert themselves into other people's business, often in a manner oblivious to the reality of the situation. The "speaking to the manager" represents the entitlement of these women and that they expect "to get their way" regardless if the situation warrants it or not.

When a Karen "speaks to the manager", she is wrong, but she refuses to accept it. It's not about speaking to the manager, it's about being bullheaded and annoying.

I've been a Karen, and so have you. It's a meme because it's true. Memes don't work unless they have a basis of truth, which is why the left can't meme.
