It's more obviously sexist than racist, and more obviously harmful to actual people named Karen.

It's Reddit garbage talk that should stay on Reddit and die.

KnowYourMeme.com traces it back to Dane Cook, so it's actually just comedy (which is only occasionally funny).

Reddit is just a representation of what a broad spectrum of the internet is talking about.

Your comment is such a fantastical stretch that I thought it was posted by a Romanian gymnast.
