Como dizer "branquela" em inglês

See you guys !

''Chick'' is slang for women, more precisely young ones, so it does not emphasize anything as far as whitish skin tone goes, regarding a ''very white'' person. They just came up with a better name for the movie in portuguese, it sure sounds better than ''Mulheres brancas'', which would be the literal translation.

What's up, leo !

Thank you very much..

It helped me a lot!


See you !

Also snow bunny (it seems like having positive and negative rings to it, depends on context).

Words like white bitch (said among and about women, mostly) or stupid white (man/woman) to both, would do.
And there are other ways, i.e. anemic, pale bitch etc. Stupid white man, the one that Michael Moore used to
title one of his books.

On the other way, porcelain skin/porcelain doll is somehow a flattering statement.

Hi there!

Sugestão

"Whitey"

A person with no pigment to their skin, always refered to a man. Also used as a derogatory term to white people or people acting "white" by people who haven't the intelligence to come up with a real insult. The people who use the insult seem to be more rascist than the target of the slur.
Person 1:What's up whitey?
"Whitey": Not much

Cheers!
