Karen - Karens move to a gentrified Hispanic/black part of Austin and complain about culture citing "toxic masculinity", car smoke killing trees, hypothetical emergencies and "scary" gatherings of said minorities. | /r/FuckYouKaren
![TexasMonthly SUBSCRIBE Some variation of this assembly has taken place nearly every Sunday afternoon since the early nineties. But now many residents of The Weaver, a newly built luxury apartment building across the street-whose website promises renters access to a “community that is rich in history and tradition"–have decided it's time for the weekly event to come to an unceremonious end. Some of the building's residents defend the car club gatherings and note they predate The Weaver residents' arrival in the neighborhood, but many others have grown tired of the loud music, annoyed by the traffic, and turned off by the smell of skidding tires. One particularly vocal tenant, a non-Hispanic white woman with short blond hair who appeared to be in her fifties, claimed that smoke from the tires was killing nearby trees and that traffic from the gathering would make it impossible for an ambulance to reach her in the event of a medical emergency (though two other roads to the apartment building remain accessible at all times). Another Weaver resident voiced more generalized criticism, calling the event a "display of toxic masculinity." "[W]e should shut this thing down," a third resident, who blamed the lack of police response on the "idiotic" city council's decision to slash the Austin Police Department's budget, wrote in March on a building forum. Indeed, at a recent gathering, a non-Hispanic white tenant had flagged two police vehicles and pleaded with officers to disband the celebration, calling it "scary." The officers eventually drove off without taking any action. Even though the event sometimes violates noise and traffic ordinances, it doesn't pose major threats to anyone in The Weaver, nor does it break other city rules.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/055/067/9c5.jpg)
