Not even close to the real thing

I have met real life Karen's. They're usually blonde, well-to-do and bitchy. They're passive aggressive but not afraid to chew you out once you step over their line. This usually involves them screaming in your face and threatening to call their husband or lawyer. In terms of their racism it's usually manifested in reporting the first black person they see pacing through the neighbourhood in 3..2..1 seconds.

The movie's choice of a ''Karen'' is an odd one. This is not how a Karen looks or acts.

Their goals are usually very self orientated as well and on a very low in terms of ambition. Their coffee order was wrong, don't like the way the bus driver is driving, had to wait too long etc etc

Mounting a campaign to displace someone? Nope. Way too hard.

And yes they are usually older, overweight, dress ordinary, nothing like the good looking woman in this film.

Plus they're not necessarily racist just go after anyone they think they can go after.
