There's Something About Karen


(Public Domain)
“You can call me Karen, but just don’t call me late for dinner” doesn’t fly in certain circles.  That’s because political correctness has reached an all-time high.

Domino's in New Zealand found this out firsthand after offering free pizzas to “mask wearing, law abiding Karens.”  Had they stopped at that, things might have worked out.  Instead, they alluded to stereotypical Karens who are allegedly white-privileged offensive women.

The public not only denounced this reference, but also the promotion itself.  Those who assumed that all Karens are well off began to complain that Domino’s should have instead offered pizzas to “people in poverty.”

But sometimes you just can’t win.  After Domino’s pulled the promotion, some actual Karens were left longing for free slices.
