if karen was a filipina, she'd either be right or bullied to hell
if you're not filipino and you don't know much about our culture, one thing you need to learn is about how much we'd like to please people. we would go out of our way to be kind even if it's just to your face, even if we find you annoying.
so, if someone steps up and voices their concerns outloud, someone might actually support you.
here's a personal example: we're close-knit at work, but i consider myself a karen for always speaking up about something that doesn't align with what i think is an effective and efficient system. while i whine and complain a lot, my workmates would voice out support after i say something that's been looming over our heads.
most of us are shy, and someone just needs to voice out a concern every now and then. this does not mean we need to wage a shouting war in the middle of the day, no, no. our culture believes that everything can be talked through, you don't have to be mad to make your point.
so if you aren't fighting an unreasonable person (or even if you are), most people do not recommend yelling, which a typical karen would do, but if you do, make sure you're on the right side, otherwise, facebook will drag you through the mud.
my culture would always look for what's wrong with you, and if they do, they're gonna bully you to shreds that the only thing you can find to do is cry.
now, why am i writing this? as someone who have lived in this country since birth, i know how bad most things are. and while i grew up just shutting up about it, now in my adult years, i've learned to use the internet to put my complaints in the right avenue.
nowadays, the government is actually proactive in answering complaints from consumers, and i love that for us.
