Noun (informal, vulgar).
North American English
f. Germanic "snÄw" (snow), Latin "bestia" (beast)
A white-skinned person of European ancestry; a white person. May refer to the northern latitude origins of main European populations, the colour of their skin, or both. Constructed as analogous to racial slurs for other ethnicities which connote primal, animal, and naturalistic themes as low, dangerous, degrading, or uncivilized (see: coon; some connotations of savage). Intended as highly pejorative and offensive.
Not to be confused with the 1977 made-for-tv movie Snowbeast starring Bo Svenson, or the 2011 movie Snow Beast, which was set in Canada, eh.
1) Real FB User: "Everyone help there's a group of idiot snowbeasts in the atheist group ganging up on me, calling me racist things, and being rude and attacking my faith. Help please it's in the atheist group."
2) Real Tumblr User: (*reads a white person's straight-forward objection to racial slurs*)"What kind of snowbeast shit is this?"
