The $180 masks, made by L.A.-based artist Jason Adcock, were inspired by recent news stories and social media videos featuring women described as "Karens" – a pejorative term often used to describe a White, usually middle-aged woman thought to be acting entitled. The term has also become synonymous with White privilege and racial tension amid the Black Lives Matter movement.
Adcock made two versions of the mask – the "Karen" and the "Karen-19" – which are currently being sold on Etsy. Both masks are made to look like White women with bloodshot eyes, rotting teeth and lots of blonde hair.
"Hair color may differ slightly but will always be [blonde]," reads a description of the item at Adcock's Etsy shop.
