There are many forms that racism takes and like many aspects of racism they are accepted as “harmless” by anyone unaffected by it. One of these many forms is through racial fetishizing porn categories like “BBC”, “snow bunny”, and “PAWG” that are used mostly by white women and white gay men.
“Phat”
Coined by black people, phat is a variation of “fat” and was created to be a body positive word referring to black bodies, specifically women and femmes. White women started using the term to invade black spaces, overshadowing those it meant to uplift.
PAWG
A term coined by white women, PAWG stands for “phat ass white girl”. Again, phat is being used here by white women in order to invade spaces that was not meant for them. Black people have every right to want their own spaces because we, as white people, take up the most space as it is.
BBC
Standing for “Big Black Cock”, BBC is a widely known “porn category” that fetishes black dicks1. Fetishization is a form of dehumanization and dates back to the initial racist thoughts of our colonizing ancestors.
Snow Bunny
Similar to BBC, Snow Bunny2 refers to a white woman who fetishizes black dicks.
- Black dick fetishizers have been known to use the spade emoji (♠️) to label themselves on social media. ↩︎
- If you know Snow Bunny to be a woman who likes to wear ski gear but doesn’t ski, you can blame white women who fetishize black dicks for ruining it. Ski Bunny is the new term for such- if you wanted to know. ↩︎
