Uber has put its chief diversity and inclusion officer on leave after she moderated a pair of “Don’t Call Me Karen” events that workers at the San Francisco-based firm said were insensitive to people of color, according to a report from the New York Times.
Lee billed the first event, in April, as a time to focus on “the ‘Karen’ persona” and hear from white women who work at Uber, the report said. “Karen” is a pejorative often used to refer to white women who feel the need to police people of color and/or demand special treatment in everyday encounters. The invitation reportedly said the event would host an “open and honest conversation about race” and be a time to dig into “the spectrum of the American white woman’s experience.” It was reportedly part of Uber’s “Moving Forward" series, a string of discussions about race that began at the company after 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
But workers, according to the Times' report, said in Slack messages that the conversation felt like a lecture about white women’s struggles and minimized the reasons that people find “Karen” behavior objectionable in the first place.

It’s woke Stratego: blacks beat white women, no matter what.

Ah, but suppose that woman is a Muslim transsexual? Then perhaps the scales are tipped the other way.
It sure seems like just about everything is insensitive to someone these days.
She thought diversity meant everybody…
People named Karen probably feel it’s a form of aggression to use that term.
And that's WHY whites can't engage in conversations about race, because being open and honest about how you feel will get you fired.

Yep. Here’s an old Soviet joke (Brezhnev era). We are there today.
——-
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on farm collectivization?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the steel production goals?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: What is your opinion on the increase in food prices?
Soviet citizen: I agree with the policy of the party.
Foreign reporter: Don’t you have any opinions of your own?
Soviet citizen: Yes. But I don’t agree with them.
It’s been that way for a long time now. Anyone stupid enough to be open and honest about racial matters deserves what happens.
This guy was the DEI officer? Did he know what his job was?????
Or some circle jerk thereof. Order doesn't matter just so long as they destroy each other.
She worked for uber and willingly, and knowingly, supported and provided for the purposeful abuse of drivers.
F@ck her. I hope she slips and falls over the banister.
