"Snowflakes" is the ethically convenient term used in place of "desires to avoid a consistent and immediate racism." The latter simply doesn't fit the narrative or agenda of those using it-- and would advertise their own sentiments far too accurately for the user's comfort.

Snowflakes however, efficiently and effectively minimizes and trivializes those concerns, allowing the end user to better rationalize to himself that the mere attempt to avoid racism is itself an absurd, unfounded sense of entitlement.

When I hear a person in the world or see a poster on DU using the term, it's illustrative of a dogmatic, largely incapable and undisciplined bias in their possession. But the end-user thinks he's scored a point, he's validated his bias and will tolerate nothing other than his own fictional genius.
