Karate has its place when you are just starting it gives you a good foundation for future arts that you would consder to participate. Muay thai and boxing you shold try it also or even sanshou a kickboxing art with wrestling. And never forget to do Judo or BJJ if you could do both then do so. I like Judo, i played for my college before it does gives you the conditioning that you will need in mma, you get to used of slams and everything on the ground plus trains you to be explosive.

Karate is good. As with any art, the quality reflects the teacher.

If you enjoy it, it doesnt matter what others say or do.

IMHO

Karate isn't taken seriously because the principle of it doesn't work in a fight where you can be pushed, grabbed and tied up. Knowing it is always something worth while, see Lyoto Machida, but you also have to be able to wrestle and have JJ as well as boxing/kickboxing/muay thai. Karate alone won't help you in a MMA fight.
