[quote=Anonymous]Neither Karen or baby mama are racist when used casually and matter of factly. When a political talking head uses it with a malicious tone to describe the married spouse in a black family, yes it is. It's not a phrase they would usually say and they are specifically being spiteful and obtuse about the implied meaning. Same with any racist using the term for anyone black unless it is ingrained in their vocabulary (then they'd just be racist without speaking in racist terms). Calling Ivana or Marla baby mamas is offensive with spite but not racist as you don't suggest their failing is from their race but the actual meaning. A judgmental black person using it spitefully is not being racist, just offensive. And many use it without spite or offense.[/quote]
