Maybe I'm not up to date on the lingo and seeing that I'm more black than white I don't want it to be a racial thing.

If society dictates I call psychotic black women Shaqueesha then maybe I'll adapt.
Think I will do my best to stay out of their way and I won't have to call them anything.

Have to say that the Karen stereotype is just not my experience. The most obnoxious entitled people are not middle aged white women. If I have to generate, then overwhelming majority of middle aged white ladies follow the rules and they are very nice people.

Plus, let's face it, "you" (the general term) probably won't lose your job if you call a white lady "Karen". If a white lady made a minority person feel "uncomfortable" (even though maybe it was just a misunderstanding can be easily resolved), the white lady could lose her job for being a "Karen racist" ugh, not fair! people.

If she doesn't want her temperature taken, she can go to another dentist. She has the right to refuse, just as they have the right to refuse to see her in their office.
