What's dehumanizing is a white woman confronting you because your PoC child is playing on the sidewalk in front of her condo and demanding you leave because your child is inside napping (by the way, Sidewalk Suzie was the executive director of a humanitarian institute.)

What's dehumanizing is showing up for a BBQ in a park, and having a white woman waddle over and demand you show her your permits and then call the police, when she has literally no evidence whatsoever that you lack a permit other than your skin color and her prejudice *and it's not her job or business in the first place to enforce permits*.

What's dehumanizing is being an accomplished, educated Harvard professor and getting arrested in your own home because some white woman saw you at the door of your fancy home in Cambridge and thought you were "suspicious"

Maybe you should be more concerned about systemic over-policing of people of color, which seems to raaaather often be initiated by a white women minding their own goddamn business. Like, seriously: these incidents never involve PoC bringing in the police, and it's very rarely white dudes. It's damn near always white women.

That‘s interesting … so if I understand you correctly white women are a bigger problem than white dudes.

If a white dude keeps the knee for 9 minutes on the back of a man and kills him … the white women are the problem.

They are the ones who dehumanise …

Sorry, but that’s a text book definition of misogyny: hatred or contempt for women or girls. It is a way of keeping women at a lower status than men.

The Karen thing started in retail ("I'd like to speak to the manager") but a subset of people are trying to equate it with racism exclusively. That's what the one you're responding to is trying to do.
