In Twitter language, a yt is a white person (typically a woman) that appropriates black culture: AAVE, box braids, unattainably deep tans, types of lace fronts, jewelry, plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures; anything to appear other than white.
White woman posts a photo: “Pretty Yella doll 💁 ♀️“
Comments: “Yella? ma’am you are a yt. The caucasity”
When twitter users need to abbreviate the 5 letter word, "White."
Similar to using the abbreviation, "N," for "Black."
