[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here’s the thing: the real harm that the Karens are doing by indiscriminately calling everyone racist for being anti H is that they are legitimately inflaming racial tensions.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend everyone who is against H is an angel. But let’s also not sit here and say everyone against H is racist.

You want to see racial tensions? Look at the thread about a black parent asking for the MCPS experience of a black child. That thread is explicit in its Asian hate. One poster even said go to DC because there is less Asians there, as the assumption is all Asians are racist. Another jokes about you can never tell them apart. Yet another talks about how Asians can’t speak proper English but will still look down on you. It goes on and on.

Part of the anger is the fact that white women, in particular, can get away with a lot of things at the expense of other women of color.

All of this anti H are all racists people talk has created tangible racial tensions in the community.

Call racism out when you see it.
But don’t call everyone a racist just because you don’t agree. 
Don’t inflame racial tensions for your own agenda.

None of this is that hard.

They are calling the anti-H group racist and classist. Looking at their behavior at the fireside chat, or even if you just meet one of them, that would not be a far leap unfortunately. We just want their racism and classism to stop.[/quote]

You completely missed the PP’s point. In fact you are proving it. You just called the entire anti-H group racist and classist. “Their racism and their classism”—as if the entire group is racist and classist.

Attributing the behavior of some to an entire group is stoking racial tensions. I’m sorry that is so hard for you to understand.

Look at “their” behavior at the chat. Whose? Be specific. Call out specific individuals for specific behaviors.

I’ll start: the classist white dude at the end. The deranged white dude with Costco carts of Asian kids.

Who else should we call out?

That’s 2 out of hundreds???[/quote]

Darn it! Just when we thought the Karens and the trolls came to an understanding, another Karen just had to waltz right in and prove everything we have been saying about Karens to be true.

Karens just won’t learn…[/quote]

Why use the name Karen?  It’s a pejorative name for a white woman. Aren’t there equivalents in other racial groups?  How do you know she isn’t one of those, or even mixed?[/quote]

The ladies of Dufief are actually called Karen. There are a good number of them. And they aren’t insulted by any of you calling the ‘em Karens. Try harder with the insults. [/quote]

Tis true: We have a disproportionate number of moms with the actual name Karen (in one grade there are four moms--out of 35 total--named Karen). We were ahead of the times. [/quote]
