[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My name is Karen. I’ve seen black people tense up when they hear my name. I sometimes just use my Hebrew name. It was never a problem before a few years ago. [/quote] Yep. I’ve seriously considered going by a new name (middle name? Random name?) just because I get such negative reactions. It really sucks, I loved my name until a few years ago.[/quote] I loath Karens[/quote] Really? You’ve met every single Karen and find them, without exception, to be loathsome? Or perhaps you loathe the behavior that has been associated with the name? Do you think there aren’t people with other names that exhibit that behavior? Unless you’re name is unique, are you confident that someone, somewhere, with the same name, might not behave badly, causing your name to be similarly loathed? [/quote]
