white boy

Light-skinned young male

White boy is a casual or sometimes pointed term for a white male, typically young.

The phrase can be neutral description, but often carries connotations—either mocking perceived privilege, cultural cluelessness, or lack of rhythm: Dance, white boy, dance.

Among Black speakers, it may signal ironic distance or mild contempt.

White boys themselves sometimes embrace the label self-deprecatingly.
