Memes have become a prevalent form of online communication, especially when you want to express something that might be considered unusual or controversial. The silly jokes and images shared on social media are a great way to transfer information and provide little bursts of laughter or knowledge.

Some memes use memorable lines from movies or public figures to cement a joke, like The Anchorman's "That escalated quickly" quote Thanos's "Perfectly balanced" scene. In other cases, the internet can pick a random tweet posted by a regular person and completely transform it into an exploitable meme, like the "White girl save me" catchphrase.

Where Does The 'White Girl Save Me' Phrase Come From?

X user @dawgpleasee decided to express some of his inner thoughts on social media in August 2023, by posting several tweets asking for a "white girl" to save him. Although is unclear why and from what was he asking for a white girl to save him, X user @5RC00L15MU5 screenshotted the series of posts and used it as a reaction image to reply to a Taylor Swift video (shown below), which amassed more than 1,200 views and 13 likes.

What Memes Are People Creating Using The 'White Girl Save Me' Catchphrase?

The series of tweets by @dawgpleasee quickly evolved into an exploitable meme on X, in which users replaced "white girl" with other topics of their interest. For example, On October 27th, 2023, Tumblr[4] user @funtergeist posted a version of the meme that gathered over 10,000 notes in a week (seen below, left). On October 22nd, X user @hagiwara81 posted a version of the meme where "white girl" was switched for "$7 beverage," gathering over 11,000 likes in a week (seen below, right).
