Uber has placed its head of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Bo Young Lee, on leave after receiving complaints from workers about an employee event she moderated, titled "Don't Call Me Karen," which was criticized for being insensitive to people of color. . The event was intended to be a dialogue about race, but attendees felt that it focused on the difficulties experienced by white women and downplayed the impact of racism. The term "Karen" refers to a white woman with a sense of entitlement who often complains and reports racial minorities.
