Linda

A Linda is a liberal white woman who lives in an upper middle class neighborhood in a major U.S. city who, despite being the walking, talking embodiment of privilege, likes to judge others who she thinks are not appropriately woke. A Linda often drives a Subaru but is not above driving a Volvo or an Audi. Usually there is a "coexist" bumper sticker on the back that you can spot while her car is parked outside the yoga studio. Lindas are the extreme opposites of Karens in that if they see a person of color walking through the neighborhood, even if that person is carrying a crowbar and looking in car windows, a Linda will challenge anyone who thinks it's suspicious. A Linda usually feels really guilty about her privilege, but not so guilty that she'd sell her vacation home in the mountains or at the beach and donate the proceeds to charity. On the other hand, she thinks you need to check your privilege.

I'm taking my trash down to the curb the other day, and this Linda who lives on my block starts harranguing me about why don't I have a Black Lives Matter sign in my yard.

I saw a couple Lindas knitting pussy hats on a front porch the other day.

You can't even go to that Whole Foods store now. It's full of Lindas who complain that the stockers are white men.
