It does. The myth came about because of one guy who, in a haze of white privilege, wrote about all these words they have for snow. However it was only because he was looking at the conglomeration of many different dialects and tribal languages who have different words for the same things, just like any set of regional languages. His “50 words for snow” were like saying “snow” and “neige” are different words. His assumptions and trivializations of all these disparate cultures were quickly latched on to by the general public who love a “just so” story like that about “exotic” cultures, and “50 words for snow” became a meme. All of the above is racist.
By the way, English has lots of words for snow too. Snow, slush, sleet, ice, hail, dry pack, wet pack, etc.
Well then I admire your devotion to the precise definitions of crime words.
