The term “Karen” was coined in recent years to describe a white (typically upper or middle-class) woman who exhibits characteristics stemming from privilege and/or white supremacy. Her entitlement often leads to unnecessary and racist encounters with people of color.

Both are seeking control, but Karens wants power, while Keke is tired of feeling powerless. The behaviors of each complex are similar, but the agendas are different.
