blackwashing 

The practice of changing the race of a character or person to black is often labeled as a means for white individuals to alleviate guilt about whitewashing. However, this assertion is inaccurate. White people often face discrimination from other racial groups and are frequently seen as the "default race." Both whitewashing and blackwashing are detrimental and should be avoided.
Person 1: "Changing character's race because white people are dumb and will never be able to understand how racism feels like, LOL!"

Person 2: "That's blackwashing and racist. Stop it."

Blackwashing

Blackwashing is an internet term made by racist 4chan and reddit users made out of retaliation towards black people where you make an existing character Black. But the intent behind it was made by black people to expressed their love for the character make them look like them especially around times where they either never had representation or representation was racist, or no thought put into. Do not confuse it with whitewashing or compare it Because whitewashing affects people in real life causing them death or generational trauma. (Open a history book)
