It is not ok to label all middle aged white women as "a Karen"
The Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the vote, came nearly 50 years after the Fifteenth, which ruled that voting rights could not be restricted “on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”
That's insightful. I’m not sure the author's reference to To Kill a Mockingbird applies, though. Harper Lee, given her social position and upbringing under the influence of the American eugenics movement used anti-racism as a device to justify fear and loathing of the Southern underclass. https://www.newyorker.com/books/page...enics-movement
Thirty-two states passed eugenic-sterilization laws during the twentieth century, and between sixty and seventy thousand people were sterilized under them. The rhetoric of the movement toned down after the U.S. went to war with Germany; most American eugenicists abandoned their explicit praise of the Nazi project, and the field dwindled as an area of officially sanctioned research. (The disassociation did not go both ways: Buck v. Bell was cited by the defense at Nuremberg.) But the sterilization rate remained high even after the Second World War. So many poor Southerners underwent the procedure that it became known as a “Mississippi appendectomy.” It was only in the nineteen-sixties and seventies, with evolving attitudes toward civil and human rights, that states began repealing their sterilization laws.

Today the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed the Caution Against Racial and Exploitative Non-Emergencies Act, aka CAREN Act, on first reading (1 more reading next week), 911 calls, are not customer service for people’s racism. #CARENact
-------------------------------------------------
The above person is, I believe, the person who authored and named the "Caren" act to mimic the racist, ageist, sexist, degrading name calling of "Karen".
It is not good governance to ridicule and degrade one group of citizens as a way to protect another group.
San Francisco ‘CAREN Act’ lets people sue over racist 911 calls
City set to enact the CAREN Act, through hate crime legislation, targeting needless 9/11 calls on people of colour.
20 Oct 2020
Fed up with white people calling 911 about people of colour selling water bottles, barbecuing or otherwise going about their lives, San Francisco leaders are set to approve hate crime legislation giving the targets of those calls the ability to sue the caller.
... It’s a nod to a popular meme using the name “Karen” to describe an entitled white woman whose actions stem from her privilege, such as using police to target people of colour.
In a video posted on Reddit, a Karen—whose real name is Jessica—is seen yelling at a man, calling him "illegal," and assuming he can't speak English. She calls the police on him because he is recording her.

(So why couldn't the article have began with "Racist woman" or even just "Racist"..... - alert)
Alameda County Sheriff's deputies took Itzel Ramirez, 21, into custody. That's after they received a 911 call from a 67-year-old woman who said the Amazon driver punched her at least 10 times around the face and head.
64-yr-old white female teacher in a wheelchair brutally beaten in classroom by 18-yr-old woman while another films it for TikTok. Was this a Karen lynch mob?

Unclear. The motivation for this assault appears to be a trend of destroying property and injuring school employees on TikTok. The victim appears to have been targeted based on her occupation and perhaps the ease of assault, not her race/class/gender specifically.
