Morphology

ultimate + whiteboy

The core sense — an unsurpassed or exemplary ‘white boy’ — is compositionally derivable from 'ultimate' + 'white boy' so a learner who parses the compound can grasp a basic meaning. However, the slangy compound form 'whiteboy' and the sociocultural, often derogatory or humorous connotations (stereotype-based judgment) are not fully predictable from the words alone and require pragmatic/cultural knowledge.

Etymology

Ultimate whiteboy joins ultimate, meaning 'the most typical', with whiteboy, a slang name for a young white man shown by certain clothes or actions. The picture is of the strongest example of that stereotype, so the phrase means 'a highly stereotypical young white male'.
