No, the Karen in that scenario is the implied snitch. That line is saying something like, “are you a young POC just minding your own fucking business in your apartment when you keep catching that damn white lady sticking her head around the balcony divider to peer into your place and listen to your conversations, trying to catch you doing something wrong? We’ll tell you what your rights to privacy are”
If you knew that’s what it meant and you were actually saying don’t snitch on the racist white lady for spying or her Black neighbors or whatever though…well we just won’t ever be friends I guess.
I took it as turning the discussion around - I.e. what to do if your neighbour behaves as above? If so, it sounds like a good way to get people to think about respectful behaviour.
I thought this is a useful campaign until I reached the row about Karen. Don’t be a snitch.
