SNOWBUNNY!!!

I think the term is funny, so I have used it...but I am curious, how do white women take the term...I mean I never really here people using in the real world so I am curious, what do u think...can I use it??? I hope so b/c it is funny to me for some reason...

 

I love it, I think it's cute. My man used to call me his "Snowbunny" and I used to call him my "Cocoapuff"... We don't really call each other anything except "Baby" any more though...

 

I'm with my long lost twin over there, I think it's cute. Some girls get offended, but I see no reason to. It's not derogatory really. The same as calling someone "Red" because of their hair. Though that one doesn't usually seem so cute to me, since so many people have called me that. *L* But it's in the same category, I'd say.

"White Shedevil"...that one's not so nice. I'd rather be a bunny than a shedevil. *L*

 

I like any terms of endearment from men. I've been called "snowflake."

 

Me too! "been called 'snowflake'"

 

I always thought it was degrading to white girls cause it was implying a certain stature due to the color of your skin.
My "snowbunny"....I never used it.
Of course what do I know how a white woman should percieved things.

to each his or her own.

 

What "certain stature" does "snowbunny" imply? That we are cute and cuddly? Hehe. Just curious.

 

I wouldn't really care what he called me as long as it was nice. Snowbunny is okay though, I wouldn't be offended. If a guy called me a cracker I'd have a bone to pick though...

 

Most white girls are not sensitive about being called white, or some other term meaning white. Unless you use a derogatory term like "whitey, or gringa, or white trash" some very pale white girls may be more sensitive, but probably more so from another white woman saying something than if you said it.

I've heard pale women get upset if another white woman implies they need a sun tan or are pale.

It wouldn't bother me at all if I were referred to as a snowbunny or a snowflake or porcelain, or ivory. Those are all very nice.

 

Ok well then the people have spoken....snowbunnies you are

 

Sorry to disagree with the other ladies but im not keen on "snowbunny" or "snowflake" the latter i have been called, maybe im too PC but what it implies race wise is just not me, a pet name that narrows just to your race is really not an endearment to me at all more of a statement!!
Same goes for Chocolate sweetheart, sugar, or anything saying brown or choc in front, never used them never gonna, if your gonna use a pet name make it individual not colour rated.
The guy i see now i call "Surly" cus he always has a bit of a face on him even if hes perfectly happy lol.

 

I've never been called that but I think it's kinda cute .. so i wouldn't be offended or anything.

 

Yeah, I've always gotten annoyed at white people always telling me I needed a tan. Though it wasn't really because they were implying that I'm too pale (I can be pretty pasty sometimes *L*) it was mostly because they were hypocrites. I never understood why people who had such an issue with dark skin colors on other people spent so much time trying to bake themselves in fake sunlight so they can get as dark as possible and have to look down on people who don't do the same thing.

 

Someone had a thread about this back a bit and quite a few women got upset with the term. You might be able to do a search and check it out.

 

I remember that thread. Life went berserk.

 

I don't know, I feel like a person's race is a part of who they are. That it's not wrong if we don't pretend like we can't see it and act like we are afraid to notice it. "I don't see his color!!" is just BS to me and makes me rolls my eyes. You can't look at someone and not see if they are white or black. What are those people trying so hard to defend? Get over it! I think if you want to use a term of endearment that includes your loved one's appearance, and it's fine with them, then so be it. And, to me, someone's race is as much a part of their appearance as having a "Surly" expression on their face all the time. I think people should stop being so sensitive. As long as you're not hurting anyone. I love my man deeply and I love all of his attributes, physical and otherwise, including the color of his skin, the color of his eyes, the color of his hair and the feel of his hair in my fingers, the fullness and shape of his lips, his adorable perfect ears, his perfect nose, his "just right" eyebrows, his hands and fingers, his big ass feet, the length and thickness of his eyelashes, his pearly perfect teeth, the pinkness of his tongue, his cute tiny ass nipples, his belly button, the hair on his ass, the strength in his arms, his chicken legs, what's between his legs, his beautiful smile that always makes me melt, his handsome laugh, his alluring voice, his wit, his charm, his thoughtfulness, his integrity, his scars, his freckles, the little barely visible stretchmarks on his biceps, his long ass toes, the hair on his toes, the way his facial hair grows, and the way he loves me more than life itself, and how he makes me feel that I've never received from anyone else and don't believe I ever could, etc etc etc. AND HE'S BLACK AND WE'RE PROUD!!! We don't try to hide it. I'm not ashamed of it. I don't try to pretend the color of his skin isn't there or that I can't see it.

 

Beautiful! You should get this framed and give it to him for Christmas.:smt114

 

LoL! Hm, I'll think about it!

 

Whoa there Britty who said anyone was ashamed of anything here!!!
Thats a very nice little list about your man, but i dont appreciate the inference of the shame thing!! going on here right now!

Id be interested as to how you could hide going out with a black man anyway even if you dont call him brown sugar?
Pretty hard to ignore my IR relationships as i look at my kids everyday as proof of it ?
My point is ive never called a white man my white sugar why on earth would i start calling a black man brown sugar?
I feel the term snowbunny or snowflake is inappropriate, im not a 5yr old pageant child with gold ringlets, im defined by more than the colour of my skin i exspect my partner to see that NO DEMAND that !!
I give my partner the same back as what i exspect to be given, End of Story!
You may have different values as does your partner , but you need to remember that we live in different parts of the world, ive certainly noticed a different attitude in the states on this board, but it doesnt make me wrong it means we value different things, as do our partners!!

But on a final note im gonna ref a post made here a little while ago from (Leotiecat) her introduction was im looking for some of that sweet dark chocolate that wont affect my blood sugar!!
I looked at that post and i thought (what is this Boogie Nights) i cringed.
surely i was not the only one ?

 

I agree with ya! Although I wouldn't be offended I'd cringe if called it, good point about the white sugar thing. I don't think I'd incorporate race into a pet name. I think it is a British thing, we def have different values from the US folks. Especially when it comes to religion I think. But yeah, totally agree with what ya said as usual
