It’s not a “de facto dog whistle.” It is a straight up slur directed to white women.

It's racism against white women, another socially validated jab at a singular race without any repercussions.

It's a description of a specific type of behavior usually found in a subset of white women. Also, completely appropriate because it is borne of privilege.
