But you should also understand that not all countries are like America. We don't all have the racial hatred built into our cultures and we didn't all get rich by enslaving people of colour. It's like when I speak to Africans and they say "we" had colonies in Africa, and I tell them that I'm Norwegian, it's like they cannot comprehend that some of the northern European countries were never a part of that. In Norway, we abandoned slavery a thousand years ago - long before Africa was ever discovered by the Europeans and then we were colonized for five hundred years, throughout the whole racist slavery thing. It really is a racist thing to say that Norwegians should be blamed for British or French behaviour because we have similarly coloured skin.
@@jeschinstad As a black person who has travelled the world, I can confirm that there are MANY cultures that make us very aware that we're black and treat us differently/worse because of it. We DO NOT get to switch off being self-conscious of the colour of our skin in most places.

As a guy in retail, I can tell you that both men and women get their way when they complain. Even if they're the problem. It's what makes so many customers insufferable. And to the girl who spoke with the manager about the employee talking to her friend instead of helping you, if that actually happened, then that's not being a Karen, but is a legit complaint.
Yep, its basic customer service. And to be fair, the vast majority of customers, even if they have a complaint, are not Karens. We just remember the Karens more because who remembers the customer with a reasonable complaint you were easily able to deal with?
My big pet peeve is when you get the counter and the person says "can I help you" and immediately turns their attention back to the person they were just talking to so they don't hear your answer. I don't throw a tantrum but I used to just immediately turn around and leave when that happened.

Exactly. I understood it about ten years after living in the USA. Everything about race in the USA in different than other places I’ve lived around the world
@themachine8009 yep people are too focused on race here. My black Hispanic friends and African friends don't understand this focus here and for some reason, they tell me they don't feel racial tension in the US. I think it's mostly an African American culture issue and not race
@frenchie2700 Hmm...Sometimes immigrants do not understand nuances of a culture and its mannerisms until they have lived in a culture for a long time. I bet they are fairly recent immigrants? When they grow to understand the culture, their perception will change as they begin to see certain patterns of treatment of themselves and others like them. Government stats support that there is racial bias against Black people in the US in multiple areas (policing, healthcare, education, etc.). There is no denying it no matter how uncomfortable it makes anyone feel.
@@frenchie2700as an African I will say it is different because we identify with our nation, our black nation, and we know our lineage because we weren’t enslaved in the US. We have our own tribes and ethnic groups within one race. The black race. The US is totally different because Black Americans do not have their own nation off of just their identity. The Caribbean although descendants of slaves too have their own nation. If you can understand that you can understand the difference some of your Haitian friends describe. We can’t ever fully understand the Black American experience as immigrants from other mostly black nations.

I don't think these ladies understand what a "Karen" is. If anyone is rude or dismissive to you or you're at a store and you legit need help and aren't getting it, asking for help does not make you a Karen. Speaking up and being assertive is not being a Karen. When people bother you for no other reason than, "They are not YT," and you mess with them, then that's being a Karen.

I just graduated with my Ph.D. so I went into my University’s Career Center for a resume review. I met with a student who eventually called over the Director to assist. We were all sitting out in the open not in an office. She was trying to help. The resume I made wasn’t getting me anywhere so I made another appt with the Director except this time we were in her office and when that door closed, I got White Woman. Anyway, I go over how it’s been and for 35 min she regurgitated what I said only trying to make it sound like she knows more than I do and what I should be doing. I kept trying to steer the conversation back to the resume review. At one point I flipped my resume over to ask a question and she flipped it over and ignored the question. I had my laptop open where I had this excel file tracking where I’d applied and info like salary ranges etc. and one of the organizations is partners with the University. I caught her squinting and mouthing to herself one the positions so I shut my laptop quickly. Our time was up and I left her office without a resume review. The next day I received a rejection from the company. I’m a woman and person of color in science. She doesn’t even want to be in science, but the roles I’m applying for and the salaries that accompany those positions hurt her feelings/offended her and so that day she went full White Woman.
In everybody’s defense - everybody has behaved in an unbecoming manner in public before. Losing your cool in public happens - the important thing is to reflect and understand and learn from those moments.
Using the term "Karen" is nothing but sexist. When men can act the same way but don't face the same consequences, that's a problem and it needs to change.
Dolly Parton is what I think of as the absolute opposite of a Karen. When I feel the unreasonable rage rising, I think, "What would Dolly do? Would she be this angry about this situation?" If I can't see it, I calm way down. If I can...I let it all out and act a fool.
I once got called a karen for telling a teenage boy skier (also white) to not jib on a pine tree because it causes damage to the tree. Can we get an equivalent term for entitled white male youth?
*lattes (plural non-possessive) latte's = singular possessive (or a contraction of "latte is/has") Apostrophes are for contractions or possessive nouns, not for pluralizing. Notice how you (correctly) didn't use an apostrophe for "pants," so why did you do it for "lattes"?
For me personally: I stopped by Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte after buying my dog a giant* birthday cookie. I realized then that I was the whitest white woman to walk the planet. *giant relative to the size of the dog. It was about 7 in diameter. The dog was a peekapoo.
Why? It's probably a very elaborate and with delicate material. And we don't know what race the racist drycleaner is. You probably assumed a particular race, but since she didn't mention it, we don't actually know do we? I'm sure there are some indian owned drycleaners out there. I wonder what they charge?
It's not fully known but one side of her family is German and the other is "American". However, American could mean mixed with other races over the centuries, such as Native American and African American... or possibly even Jewish or Scottish (Scottish people have red hair, sometimes curly/frizzy hair).
Stacey Abrams. She made it her project to register black people to vote, and to give them the option of a mail-in ballot, so that their voices would be heard. I'm not apt with words, but she's worth googling and reading up on if you are not familiar.
If you've worked retail or food service you know both Karen and Ken get what they want. Managers don't discriminate with their submission to the customers' money and ability to complain to a district manager; they'll have the line employee take the blame anyway.
I walked into a Starbucks once for a boring cup of brewed coffee. The store had zero cups ready to go. Sometimes legitimate reasons for complaint exist. Do some customers take advantage? Sure. One of the pitfalls of "the customer is always right".
No, the opposite of a Karen isn't a Scarlett, it's a Betty - as in Betty White, the sweetest, no-nonsense white woman to have ever lived.
Nope, even the Betty's are Karen's the Betty's are the ones that smile on your face and gentrify your neighborhood at the same time.

@@mrsterious5845 Ivanka is a much less common name than Karen. I only know of one person named Ivanka.
F-ing hilarious😂😂
Great segment. Michelle is in her groove and she is killing it.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The fact that these interviews happened on a street corner next to Soho House and a Sephora... *chef's kiss*
We love the Scarletts! They’re cool lol
After studying the Haitian Revolution, and all I can say is Dessaline would be somewhere turning in his grave if he read you’re 🦝 statement! You buck broken Haitian!
She needed help picking out a bouquet at Trader Joe's??? She would die of old age in Costco's 😂.
Talking to a manager about an on the clock employee that isn't assisting you isn't being a Karen. I can tell you, my black behind would have had some choice words to share.
That worm got me 😂
Serious answer: Killer Mike is my black role model - his activism, giving back to his community, being a mentor, and of course his music. Anyway, this segment was hilarious 😂
Hillary calls him *SUPER PREDATOR* _MIKE!_
❤😜❤
@ShoTon1
Why not?
Michelle Wolf is hilarious; love her!
I just graduated with my Ph.D. so I went into my University’s Career Center for a resume review. I met with a student who eventually called over the Director to assist. We were all sitting out in the open not in an office. She was trying to help.
The resume I made wasn’t getting me anywhere so I made another appt with the Director except this time we were in her office and when that door closed, I got White Woman. Anyway, I go over how it’s been and for 35 min she regurgitated what I said only trying to make it sound like she knows more than I do and what I should be doing. I kept trying to steer the conversation back to the resume review. At one point I flipped my resume over to ask a question and she flipped it over and ignored the question. I had my laptop open where I had this excel file tracking where I’d applied and info like salary ranges etc. and one of the organizations is partners with the University. I caught her squinting and mouthing to herself one the positions so I shut my laptop quickly. Our time was up and I left her office without a resume review. The next day I received a rejection from the company. I’m a woman and person of color in science. She doesn’t even want to be in science, but the roles I’m applying for and the salaries that accompany those positions hurt her feelings/offended her and so that day she went full White Woman.
Lady in the black trench is hilarious 😂
"Naomi Watts"... That was a white chick moment.. 😂
In everybody’s defense - everybody has behaved in an unbecoming manner in public before. Losing your cool in public happens - the important thing is to reflect and understand and learn from those moments.
Yesss this has certainly been me in moments I am not proud of in the past.
Guilty
Using the term "Karen" is nothing but sexist. When men can act the same way but don't face the same consequences, that's a problem and it needs to change.
Dolly Parton is what I think of as the absolute opposite of a Karen. When I feel the unreasonable rage rising, I think, "What would Dolly do? Would she be this angry about this situation?" If I can't see it, I calm way down. If I can...I let it all out and act a fool.
I once got called a karen for telling a teenage boy skier (also white) to not jib on a pine tree because it causes damage to the tree. Can we get an equivalent term for entitled white male youth?
They're called Kyle's 😊
What. Tree damage warrior is pure Karen.
Wasn't ready for the lady doing The Worm😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I can do the worm😂
And she did!
What a trooper👍
4:19 "I do like to dance after, like, one or two drinks."
🤔That doesn't sound too uncommon to me.
Bravo Michelle Wolf!
Can’t be Scarlett because Scarlett O’Hara is the biggest Karen of all.
But Johansson isn’t.....
For real, it’s not $400 to clean brown clothes.
A Sari is colourful silk. Not "brown" clothes, my man.
I lost it with the last woman doing the belly flop. LOL
Yessss we love Michelle!
2:22 Joy is the opposite of Karen
Please keep Michelle Wolf as the host of the daily show
I am so happy she is back
This was actually insightful too 👍🏾
That girl earned redemption with the worm at the end.
Why did she require "redemption"?
Redemption for acting like a “Karen”.
That last one. I like her commitment to the centipede.
Men don't Karen, we Kyle
Doing the "worm" in the middle of a New York city street....priceless 😅😅😅
I must be a white woman because I drink latte's and wear yoga pants.
*lattes (plural non-possessive)
latte's = singular possessive (or a contraction of "latte is/has")
Apostrophes are for contractions or possessive nouns, not for pluralizing.
Notice how you (correctly) didn't use an apostrophe for "pants," so why did you do it for "lattes"?
OK & I live for a spa day too!
Great show... Love Michelle ❤️
Doing the worm in her nice coat was pretty epic!
The fact that she did the worm on the bare city street.. 😳 Hope that woman went home and took a bath in hand sanitizer lol
I would love to see everybody asked what the most white lady thing they ever did was
For me personally: I stopped by Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte after buying my dog a giant* birthday cookie.
I realized then that I was the whitest white woman to walk the planet.
*giant relative to the size of the dog. It was about 7 in diameter.
The dog was a peekapoo.
For most, it's going to be calling the cops on a mild annoyance.
That’s super colorist
@@annaw252wtf does that mean?
For me, it's saying F off to race baiting liberal schills like Michelle Wolf's, who make a loving on division disguised as "diversity"
Worm on a NYC sidewalk is wild
the indian outfit dry cleaning story is wild
Why? It's probably a very elaborate and with delicate material. And we don't know what race the racist drycleaner is. You probably assumed a particular race, but since she didn't mention it, we don't actually know do we? I'm sure there are some indian owned drycleaners out there. I wonder what they charge?
2:03 I went to her manager 😂
All this time, I thought Michelle Wolf was Black. It's the hair.
It's not fully known but one side of her family is German and the other is "American". However, American could mean mixed with other races over the centuries, such as Native American and African American... or possibly even Jewish or Scottish (Scottish people have red hair, sometimes curly/frizzy hair).
Opposite of Karen is Sharon. She always shares.
An anti-karen is a "Jane," as in Jane Elliott. ❤
What’s an anti N word since you’re using racial slurs
That last lady break dancing on the floor needs her own network show!
I may be white but I can proudly say that I've never gotten anything pumpkin spiced except for donuts (they don't count)
It all counts, except for a pumpkin pie itself.
“I can do the worm” 😂
My black icon is Ertha Kitt
"Naomi Watts".🤣
What's funny, is that I knew exactly whom she meant.
Oh! I miss her!!! Can Wolf be the new host?!
Great Public Service Announcement.
Michelle Wolf keep doing what your doing. Thank you!
*you're (contraction of "YOU aRE")
your = possessive
@@alvallac2171 You can get paid to tutor.
Stacey Abrams. She made it her project to register black people to vote, and to give them the option of a mail-in ballot, so that their voices would be heard. I'm not apt with words, but she's worth googling and reading up on if you are not familiar.
Hilarious 😂❤
To answer your question, absolutely yes!
Nerak is the opposite of a Karen.
I absolutely loved this piece!
I didnt know how much i missed Michelle Wolf!!!
If you've worked retail or food service you know both Karen and Ken get what they want. Managers don't discriminate with their submission to the customers' money and ability to complain to a district manager; they'll have the line employee take the blame anyway.
I agree 100%. Stores don't care what race a person is, or gender. If you complain, you'll usually get your way. It's self perpetuating.
I walked into a Starbucks once for a boring cup of brewed coffee. The store had zero cups ready to go. Sometimes legitimate reasons for complaint exist. Do some customers take advantage? Sure. One of the pitfalls of "the customer is always right".
Okay the worm made my day!!!😂
02:34 - Hey Boomers: men who karen are called Ken...🤣🤣🤣
Sorry but these woman are adorbs. Do love our city and all our people. 😂
*women (plural)
woman = singular
It's like "man" vs "men" but with wo- added on the front.
@@alvallac2171 no no you must pick only one
Top shelf questions MW. keeping our satire smiles shining. Shot Tita!!!😂😂😂
The opposite of Karen is empathy and compassion.
The opposite of "Karen" is Mary!😂
