A well-known right-wing racist Karen in the UK says calling white privileged racists Karen is racist

Sarah Vine, a well known passive aggressive columnist in the Daily Mail, most famous for being the wife of the far right member of the gang of three, at the heart of the UK governments attack on justice and democracy, has decided that calling out white women for being racist is, well, racist.

She states that:

Responding to the question ‘How can white women not be Karens?’ journalist Amelia Dimoldenberg and historian Charlotte Riley explained that any woman who is ‘unwilling to accept that her whiteness is a privilege’ is a Karen.
And, as such, she needs to ‘educate herself’ and should ‘read some books so that you are aware of the histories of white people and race’.
But, if she doesn’t do this — probably because she is too busy hanging out her wokelets’ washing or making their vegan dinner — the message in the podcast is this: ‘Get out of the way, basically.’
In other words, any woman of my generation who fails to publicly condemn herself as a worthless worm on whose shoulders rest all the sufferings of every person of colour is, to use the modern terminology, cancelled.
.

But it is ok cause later in the column she explains that she has a black friend…
For fucks sake. Self-entitled privileged white women, married to one of the most powerful men in the land, who have literally nothing to worry about in terms of jobs, money and buying gin think they have a point. She needs to take a frigging seat.

Right wing definition of racism. Not racism at all.
