Working on a short essay on the whitelash against the use of Karen to denote a certain kind of wyte womanhood: thesis: white people are not used to being held as a collective.

Rendering white people intakes invisible individuals. The power of calling out Karens is the power of making them and their actions visible. These repeated Karen behaviors expose whiteness to be a collective, to be nameable, and stereotype-able. 4/
