It has been criticized for cultural appropriation.[4] The song and its video have been the subject of online discourse, such as the song title's supposed connotations of white pride and white privilege.[3]
"White Boy Summer" was later appropriated by the alt-right and other White supremacist groups as a slogan to promote their beliefs. This was originally proposed by a Telegram user in April 2021 to irritate leftists and attract and indoctrinate outsiders. [citation needed]
Some extremist users also used "White Boy Summer" as their reaction to oppose anti-racist events, such as the Black Lives Matter protests. They used the term to refer to a utopia or war against their enemies.[5] Among them was the white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes, who used it as a slogan to disrupt an event hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference with his followers.[6]
