原文

Domino's Pizza has dropped a promotion offering free pizza to women named Karen after it was met with a backlash.

In recent years, the name "Karen" has been used as an insult to describe white middle-aged women who are perceived to be obnoxious or racist.

The pizza franchise's New Zealand arm initially said it wanted to give "nice Karens" a break from negativity.
