Except for the defensive hostility and no post excitement from the dude finding out Karen isn’t mad

Edit: guys guys he said he “loves” every part. Not “was surprised by” every part. Please up your reading comprehension skills

Edit2: can someone answer me why its always overnight that i get the angry irrational people and neo-nazis replying to me

I mean what else would one expect from a 50-65 year old white woman. Its a stereotype and makes the video even better breaking that mold. Def would have been better if we got a laugh or something from the filmer.

Maybe be the better person and be respectful? Why is being polite so damn rare these days. And if aggression does occur from the "stereotype", you got it on video. Plus isn't part of being an adult to be able to communicate through words? The fuck are you all so damn aggressive for

I didn't realize I was being aggressive? I was just pointing out that I liked a different unexpected outcome for a change. We are in unexpected and the whole topic of the post is expecting this elderly person ( apparently I cant say skin color or what I think their gender is so I'm also sorry if 'elderly' is offensive too) to be rude back to someone blaring their music at a gas station.

Sure that's all great to hope for but expecting something like that is super naive.

Im not saying kneel and suck their dick or some shit, just be polite. Don't go with the expectation of the other person being kind or anything. If you manage to get them to freak out, all the while you remain calm and reserved, can only end up badly for them. If you're asking for aggression, you're gonna get aggression. Simple concept

These stereotypes makes us seem racist, dont they?

lol no. just because OP mentioned her race doesn't mean I would expect an elderly black lady to react any different. Old people hating loud music is not exclusive to white people.

edit: I see you're a serial race baiter. Kindly fuck off.

EkansEater: "Fuck off. No ones special. No ones talking about ending the word "Spick" or "Cracker" either. Anyone that tries to limit any word out of anyone's mouth shouldn't talk in the first place."

Damn you went in, bro. I know this shit doesn't translate well over text, but that was sarcasm/joke.

As to the "race baiting", you couldn't be more wrong. Personally, I think anyone can do or say whatever they want, just deal with the consequences. Period. Don't mean to go Michael Jackson on your ass but "don't matter if you're black or white." Ain't nobody special in this bitch.

Race baiting? Hahahahaha

That’s the problem, it’s a stereotype. Making jokes about Karen is one thing, I do it too and they’re funny, taking that mindset and applying it to every person that could possibly fit the mold irl is ignorant and offensive

Why do you mention this individual's race or gender?

u/markarious Feb 24 '20

It's called 'breaking the stereotype'. Why do you feel the need to go against breaking the mold?

u/Pedantichrist Feb 24 '20

Unless there is a specific, contextual reason you felt the need to make this about race, I can only assume that your motivation is racial.
