Context #IRLWriterTreVentourGriffiths "The term 'Karen' comes from a name that was frequent among middle-aged women who were born between 1957 and 1966 with its peak in 1965 (Social Security Data). The name is also the Danish rendition of Katherine associated with the Greek for pure. Yet, the meaning of the word has undergone pejoration. In sociolinguistics, 'pejoration' is when a positive word becomes negative over time. 'Karen' as it has come to be known today has uses as early as September 2016 and as we know now, Karen has become synonymous with racist middle-aged White women, often associated with their harrassment of Black people just minding their business." https://thoughtsfromthecriminologyteam.blog/2021/09/08/white-women-race-matters-fantasies-of-a-white-nation/
