The real white supremacy problem is in... hockey

A meme on the social media outlet Reddit has been used by a pair of Canadian education professors to rant about the role of white supremacy in hockey culture.

The meme (pictured), which in the last two weeks generated a scant 17 comments, is dubbed “Kane vs. Karen” based on the Edmonton Oilers’ Evander Kane getting “the finger” from a woman with a stereotypical “Karen” haircut.

For Professors Teresa Anne Fowler (Concordia University of Edmonton) and Shannon Moore (University of Manitoba), the Karen stereotype “identif[ies] white women who weaponize their whiteness to either shift attention away from their racist behaviour or insight racial violence.”
