A term used, apparently, only where it snows. A whitewash is when you grab somebody by the back of the head, usually when wrestling, and rub their face into the snow. This is a technique primarily used during snowball fights. Made better when the whitewashee bleeds. Distant relative: the swirly.

Whitewashing is the alteration of a characters skin tone, from black/brown to white. This is also racist due to the harmful anti black history whitewashing black characters has. In America (euro-centric features were seen as a beauty standard that bpoc (black poc) couldn’t fit. Changing a black character to look white removes the little representation for black people while also conveying an anti black message.
