I believe when it's racial the term is "Becky". "Karen"s carp about anything and everything and can be POC.
Another thing regarding the Island where this took place, is the locals are predominantly POC.
Actually the local media there dubbed her "Beach Karen" so that label will stick (although she is a becky)
St Kitts' and Nevis is in the Caribbean. The woman in question is a tourist and while the residents of the island are POC she obviously took this white sandy beach as set aside for foreigners to sun bake.
As she threw her little tantrum it never entered her head that these were primary school kids on an excursion to their own local beach with their teacher. The teacher was the one who confronted her over her behaviour.
The audacity of this woman to do this to locals in their own beach/country is quite mind blowing for me. We had a similar situation when Japanese tourists complained to a manager of a hotel pool in the central Australian town of Alice Springs when aboriginal kids were in the hotel swimming pool. The manager was filmed explaining to the tourists that the kids were actually hotel guests (again school kids on an excursion) and were allowed in the pool.
