The 'White Cop-Caller Nicknames' meme series emerged as a viral form of social commentary starting in 2018, following several high-profile incidents of white individuals calling the police on Black people for mundane activities. It began with 'BBQ Becky,' a woman who reported a family for grilling in a park, and quickly expanded to include figures like 'Permit Patty' and 'Cornerstore Caroline.' These memes use catchy, alliterative nicknames to highlight and mock unnecessary police intervention and racial profiling. By turning these moments of tension into recognizable archetypes, the internet uses this format to document, shame, and satirize the 'Karen' phenomenon and the misuse of emergency services in everyday situations.
