“They’re called Karen because they be Karen too much about things that don’t concern them”

“Karen” should not be confused with “caring,” but there are jokes.

Wikipedia: Karen (slang)
Karen is a slang term for a white woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting white women who use their white privilege to demand their own way. Depictions include demanding to “speak to the manager”, being racist, or wearing a particular bob cut hairstyle.
