"Happily??" I deleted a sentence

I disagree with this statement and have deleted it, if someone wants to argue otherwise, feel free: "She has happily fallen into Pam's former role as Jim's associate in pranks he plays on Dwight." I don't think so. Karen helped Jim out with ONE prank on Dwight, and it seemed to me that she was less than enthusiastic about. Further, Jim asks her to play a prank on Andy with him, and she says she can't, she has too much work.

Karen and Jim's Relationship

I clarified the sentence that stated Karen and Jim are dating. To the best of my knowledge, this hasn't been confirmed. I've left it more open ended until more sources pop up. →Bobby← 19:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"trilingual"?

just because she can say a couple simple sentences in french, plus ONE phrase in italian should not qualify her as "trilingual.

When did Karen say the Italian phrase? Also, as far as I'm aware, the only ethnicity she has acknowledged is her Italian name (when creating her voicemail greeting); how do we get away with calling her multiracial? -- Raymondc0 05:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The actress who plays her is multiracial (Cherokee, West African and Welsh on her dad's side and Russian Jewish on her mom's side). Granted, the character of Karen might not be the exact same ethnicity as the actress who plays her (since Karen is Italian and the actress who plays her isn't), but it's got to be close. If you know that Michael Scott is played by a white guy, then you can assume his character is white, even if it wasn't mentioned on the show. - Shaheenjim 16:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just because an actor/actress is of a certain race, that in no way means his/her character is. If a woman states she is Italian, then she is Italian. You don't then wonder what other races she could be or what she didn't mention. Rashida Jones is multiracial, Karen Filippelli isn't. Get over it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.126.191.59 (talk) 08:13, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Karen doesn't state that she's Italian. Jim just calls her that. Other characters also make assumptions about her ethnicity based on her name and appearance. And the writers have her speaking foreign languages (that are not Italian). The result is ambiguity, which is part of the show/character, independent of the actress's real race. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.136.88 (talk) 10:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Call of Duty - british team?

i thought that side of the stamford office all played on the germans?

The Stamford office was playing Call of Duty amogst themselves. Karen was against Jim, and Jim is revealed to be on the German side when he accidently kills Andy. -- Kawnhr 08:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dunder Mifflin

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 20:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exotic-looking

She's very exotic-looking. Was her dad a GI? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.53.17 (talk) 17:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cantonese

"She has spoken a little French ("Grief Counseling") and Cantonese (deleted scene from "Gay Witch Hunt")"

My girlfriend is Cantonese and she is sure Karen is not speaking Cantonese in that part. She said it was Taiwanese, though she wasn't 100% sure. Changing it to Taiwanese for now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.56.45.155 (talk) 06:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
