Yet another Karen incident went viral after a white woman used racist language toward a Black Ross Dress for Less manager.
The video footage was originally posted on TikTok, according to Newsweek. It garnered over 2 million views and was eventually shared on other social media platforms.
“Karen tests my sister [hand waving emoji] the MANAGER. Seek help boo #karen #lol#bye,” the video’s caption stated.
In the video, a maskless white woman is seen screaming obscenities at a masked Black woman. It is unclear what started the kerfuffle, but the so-called Karen lost her mind.
“You’re a motherf–king b—h is what you are,” the woman screamed.
“Please leave,” the manager responded calmly.
“Oh, I’m leaving,” the customer shouted.
“Please leave. I’m asking nicely,” the miraculously patient manager replies.
“You f–king no good b—h,” the Karen yelled.
The woman continued to cuss the manager out as she was ushered out the door. Once she finally made it to the exit, the racism jumped out.
“F–k you, you f–king Black b—h,” she screamed.
The manager maintained her composure and never raised her voice.
“OK, that doesn’t bother me,” she said. “OK, have a good day.”
The calmness was too much for the white woman who called the manager a “f–king monkey” and “whore” before she finally left.
After the video went viral, the Karen was dragged, and the manager was applauded for keeping her cool.
“Pay Black women. This level of expertise in dealing with whiteness deserves reparations AND awards. And it’s just another day for her, I’m sure,” tweeted one viewer.

When she didn't get a rise out of her from calling her "bitch," she tried "Black bitch."
When that didn't get the desired response, she tried "monkey."
Y'all see how this works? It's right below the surface. Always. https://t.co/zGICKQb2CS

“Notice how Karen became more upset when the Black woman remained calm,” pointed out another watcher.
