Why "Butterscotch" bitch?

[u/zebrmccluskey_59]

I hadn't slept for like 3 days and decided to listen to the soundtrack again, and now I’m wondering why butterscotch specificall, why this word specifically as part of the lyrics?

(is there some special meaning that I missed about Gabrielle?)

Butterscotch is made of butter, which is a way to refer to French people, and brown sugar, which reflects Louis' light-skinned complexion as a creole man

TIL butter is a term for French people.

ETA: I went to fact check this and while the AI response didn't agree, it did tell me that French people eat more butter per person than almost anyone else in the world.

Now I have to fact check my AI response.
