“Snow White” and other slurs must end

Think I'm not using the word slur correctly? Here's the definition from Merriam Webster. It is disparaging to the natural element snow to use it as the first name of an unmarried adult woman who, let's face it, slept in the same house with seven grown men… seven men who, by the way, epitomized everyone's mental picture of the quintessential "dirty old man." You know what they were thinking… what they were looking at! To name her Snow is an outrage. All those in favor of changing Ms. White's first name to Rain or Blistering Sunshine say Aye…

And another thing, snowbird, snowbound, "pure as the driven snow" and snow as a euphemism for smack can also go by the boards any day now. Winter, the leading global supplier of snow, is right in its assertion that this is an insulting trend that must come to an end.
