Blackwashing is a racist term that was coined by white supremacists to imply that black actors playing 'white' characters in media was problematic. The term itself is used online as a way to deter black fans in any fandom source from seeing themselves in characters, unlike whitewashing that has a historical context of being used to 'purify' characters or people, black washing DOES NOT exist.
