The Napping Yale Student Police Call Controversy refers to a May 2018 incident where a white Yale graduate student called the campus police on Lolade Siyonbola, a Black graduate student, for sleeping in a dorm common room. The incident went viral after Siyonbola livestreamed the encounter, sparking national outrage and fueling the 'Living While Black' movement which documented racial profiling in everyday spaces. In internet culture, the meme serves as a satirical critique of surveillance culture and the 'Karen' archetype. It is frequently used to highlight situations where individuals are harassed or reported to authorities for performing mundane, everyday activities while being a person of color.
