More than just memes: These Karens are straight-up racists
The Karen: A creature so vicious, it could even make Medusa turn to stone. When she walks into a store, hide your children, your coupons, and really anyone who isn’t the poor cashier about to get screamed at for 10 minutes.
But a new trend has come about on Twitter as a spinoff to Karen memes. Now, Karen isn’t just the woman berating the waiter as if it’s their fault the food’s taking so long. It’s also the woman who screams at black people who are in her neighborhood, or accuses black people of stealing when they’re just as valid customers as white people.
These Karens have surpassed the memes and become full-on racists. So while they may have the Karen haircut, do not get yourself confused: these women (and men) are just racists.
A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/rOpHvKVwgP

San Francisco Karen
Apparently, this Karen, named Lisa Alexander, just felt like harassing an innocent man who was trying to do something nice in front of his own home, not outstretching anyone else’s property. But because the beautiful drawing he was doing involved Black Lives Matter, Karen wasn’t too happy and claimed the man didn’t live there.
Karen-Surance
This Karen decided that since she doesn’t have car insurance, she can call the police on the Latino man whose car she hit, claiming she’s threatened instead. Considering it’s illegal in the state of California to drive without car insurance, we hope this Karen got her karma due when the police asked for her insurance information.
Music hating Karen
We’ve all seen it: the talented musicians in the streets looking for a spare buck or two. Apparently though, this Karen was so offended by the beautiful voice of this girl that she needed the cops involved. Too bad for her that the young girl wasn’t violating any laws except being too talented.

Torrance Karen
We got a twofer with this Karen. Lena Hernandez has been caught on video not once, but twice belittling Asian-Americans. The first time, she just told the woman to go back to whatever Asian country she was from. The second time was to a man with his 11 year old child who had to listen to her racist rant.

LA Karen
Lastly, we’ll end on one hell of a doozy. Being racist is wrong, but technically not a crime. On the other hand, damaging private property is. LA Karen took hammers to the victim’s car, smashing windows and doors left and right. All while screaming for him to “go back to Mexico.” Thankfully, she was arrested since she was caught on camera being a racist idiot.
