What exactly is a " Karen "?

[Randy]

I think it began in the retail industry, well before social media. A woman of a certain who is very demanding and expects everything. “Karen has asked to speak to the manager”.

Nail on the head. It's got **** all to with racism.

Entitled women. See also Wendy. Similar to Karen but maybe even more 'knowledgeable' and 'enraged'.

Drives a Range Rover so parking regulations don't apply to her, as well.

The Range Rover is also only used to drop her little angels off at school (0.5 miles away) and to go to the shops.

That's so Karen... Karenish, Karenesque. That should be in the Oxford dictionary!

After she goes to the shops, she's exhausted so must have a flat white and a manicure...

No but that link was commonly made during the Amy Cooper thing. Terms like this change their meaning over time.

It is lazy to use a name as a label.
Only a D1ck would do that.

Completely agree - it is lazy and deeply insulting and far from a laugh to anyone called Karen.

I guess this comes about from the 4 actually Karen's on TV. Moaning about people using 'Karen' as a negative term.

Think it back fired. The Internet slamming it as the 'most Karen' thing a Karen could do. I am sure it has some racial undertones as it's usually BAME people who use it (see also Gammon).

It usually trends on twitter at least once a day.
