I am very well aware of the origin of that term and I am also comfortable with how I use it. I am not looking to debate that on here, I have done that enough times to last me a life time. And I will reserve the right to interpret how I use terms as someone who is not born and bread here. I don't think I need anyone's permission to state my view and experience.

Not being from somewhere is hardly an excuse for using misogynistic, ageist, racist language.

But at least you've shown us what you are by insisting upon your "right" to do so.

I have more of an issue with someone acting like a Karen (ie weaponising their white privilege to the detriment of black and brown people, often endangering said black/brown person in the process.) than I have with the term itself. I appreciate I am in minority on MN with that view. Still I am entitled to it.
