White women are the current scapegoat. The whole Karen meme has really turned me. I’m against racism and entitlement attitudes by both men and women, I hope that goes without saying. But men aren’t laughed at and ridiculed in directed attacks, they’re just accepted as the norm.

I'll allow ''Karen'' to be a thing, even though it stopped being funny after about 5 minutes, once there's a male equivalent in place that achieves the same popularity.

If you compare those two sets of Google results, it’s clear that people are either more respectful/fearful of white men, or perhaps they simply know that white women are already easier to reach because women are socialized to be more tender-hearted and self-doubting. Those two women who charge white women $2500 for getting yelled at over dinner know this perfectly well:

“If you did this in a conference room, they’d leave,” Rao says. “But wealthy white women have been taught never to leave the dinner table.”

Rao and Jackson believe white, liberal women are the most receptive audience because they are open to changing their behavior. They don’t bother with the 53% of white women who voted for Trump. White men, they feel, are similarly a lost cause. “White men are never going to change anything. If they were, they would have done it by now,” Jackson says.“

I couldn’t believe the emotional abuse that goes on at these dinners:

“Across from Campbell-Swanson, Morgan Richards admits she recently did nothing when someone patronizingly commended her for adopting her two black children, as though she had saved them. “What I went through to be a mother, I didn’t care if they were black,” she says, opening a window for Rao to challenge her: “So, you admit it is stooping low to adopt a black child?” And Richards accepts that the undertone of her statement is racist.“
