I see this ALL the time.

I've seen MANY videos where someone will see someone they don't know in their apartment building or the building parking garage or wanting to walk in the front door of the building as the person is walking out.

It's just a part of NORMAL building security to NOT let someone you don't know in the front locked door as you exit.

BUT, WAY WAY WAY TOO MANY TIMES - I've seen basketball Americans instantly adopt a damned self-righteous indignation for being questioned about why they are there.

Now - don't get me wrong - I'm sure it is VERY COMMON for a Karen to confront a black person much more often than a white stranger in the exact same circumstances.

BUT - I've literally seen 30 videos where the offended person ASSUMES they are being racially profiled, and the damned indignation they adopt escalates the whole situation to 10 times what the event needed to be.

So so often, they yell: "You're being racist!"

And the problem is that many times, the same Karen would confront ANY stranger they don't recognize for walking around in their underground parking lots.

True, this is probably 2 or 3 times more likely to happen to a black person.

An example I've seen, is some guy working in an underground parking lot - inspecting something, probably wearing obvious clothing and probably carrying a clipboard.

Karen questioned him. ALL THIS GUY HAD TO DO was EXPLAIN what he was doing there.

Do you think he did that?

NO.

And that's the damned problem.

He goes off on her and he gets unreasonably defensive and he refuses to simply explain: "I'm doing my job." And explain what his job is.

Again and again and again I've seen these uppity minorities CREATING a problem by REFUSING to simply explain they live there and show their keyfob or any proof they do.

Yes, I understand their anger - but 30 to 40% of the time it is NOT because of racism that they are being confronted.

It's because Karen hasn't seen them before.

The problem is the outrage mode these 'victims' instantly jump into - and it makes everything so much worse.

But what I'm getting at is the situation with someone doing their job could be simply de-escalated if the stranger simply explains - I'm here to read your meter, that's why I'm on your property - but so many escalate the situation by choosing outrage over explanation of who they are and what they are doing.

Again and again someone could just say: "I'm an Uber Eats delivery driver. I just dropped off someone's food."

And some of the Karens are simply insane.

There's a video of a food delivery guy forcefully blocked from entering an apt. building by a Karen - despite the guy talking on the intercom with the person receiving they food - who had to come to the front door and explain to the way out of line Karen who would NOT let the guy in - despite him having a bag of food in his hand.
