racebending

an extended practice in comics and movie and tv show adaptations from comics, novels and other sources where fictional characters and historical figures' race are changed. in the past, this used to happen in the form of caucasian actors being given the roles of black, brown and asian characters and historical figures, known today as whitewashing. nowadays the trend has shifted dramatically in what is known as blackwashing, where under the excuse of lack of diversity white characters and historical figures, important and minor, are cast (or illustrated in the case of comics and animated shows) , almost always, as afro blacks.

Reverse Racism

Racism towards the majority (white people). This is a term created by triggered white people who are mad about people of color finally being in the spotlight and fighting for their rights.

Many believe this term does not exist because you can not be racist to a race who has never been oppressed.
How come you can yell "black power" but I can't cheer for white power? Isn't this considered reverse racism? - Old White Trump Supporter

Because white power is tied with white supremacy and nazis while black power is simply just oppressed minorities trying to get their rights... and also reverse racism doesn't exist. - Educated Black Girl
