"Hwyte" is the
transcription of the word "White" as it is pronounced by notable figures in the Alt-Right. Jared Taylor's
exaggerated stress on the aspirate 'h' in the word "white", which is pronounced as if it comes before the labiovelar 'w', has become at once the target of ridicule and affection and is
responsible for popularising the expression.
Numerous other commentators in the movement have taken to mimicking Taylor's mispronunciation.
