The audacity of caucasity is real and bold, and some of the biggest upholders of the structure of melanin-deficience are white women. Meanwhile, Todd can run the meeting even though he ain’t got nary a qualification besides his paleness.Ĭaucasity is, by design, the upholder of systemic oppression. It is why the mediocrity (and subparness) of white men is praised and allowed to flourish while the rest of us gotta wake up and have a PhD in pissing excellence to even be allowed in the room. Caucasity is the reason why some of the world’s richest people got their money, since it exploits marginalized people for profit. It is deeply frustrating and infuriating because it is truly at the core of why the 45th president of the United States is a daft and dumb troglodyte who can barely read and ain’t fit to run a scenario, let alone a country. Caucasity is the state of unjust affairs, a mindset and a series of real things that come from the privileges of whiteness. In case this is your first time hearing the word “Caucasity,” know that it speaks to whiteness, white supremacy and all the fuckshit that comes with it. When it comes to the state of caucasity, we gotta get clear on the groups that exist. “Every group has a Karen and she is always a bag of douche," Cook said during his stand-up routine.We must all start operating from the same page, to minimize confusion in this world. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt stated his position. However, he personally thinks that the most convincing origin story is Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special bit "The Friend That Nobody Likes" which names Karen as the friend no one likes. Matt said that it's been hard to pin down the exact origin of the Karen meme. These images, nicknames and jokes frequently have unknown origins and could be connected to some really hateful areas of the internet." As I tell most people, you should always meme with caution. The meme's meaning will change depending on who is meme-ing it and what their intent is, and that could alter how we all view Karen. He continued: "Personally, because I'm kind of iffy on the intent of the meme and where it's going, I probably wouldn't call someone a Karen or use the Karen meme, judging the trajectory of its meaning. It's very possible that the meme could grow even farther to exhibit misogynistic tendencies, which are somewhat already present." Scroll down for the rest of our interview with Matt. So I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore. "As grows from a parody of a common social experience of someone demanding to speak to a manager to a statement about white privilege, the stakes over the meaning of the meme grow as well.
