Blackwashing 

blackwashing isn't a term and you shouldn't call someone making a white character black 'blackwashing'
my reason: black characters don't get much representation in media, like think of black characters, now think of white characters, see you have thought of a lot of white characters. though it is not okay to change a real persons skin color and call it representation.

person 1: "ugh they blackwashed my favorite character"
person 2: *explains to them that its ok to make a characters skin color darker and that blackwashing isnt a real term*
person 1: *understands and gets it*
and the conversation is over

BLACKWASHING 

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.

'' Black people blackwash everything''
'' why are you blackwashing this character''

BLACKWASHING by pruxoxoxo July 6, 2021

Blackwashing 

A word that doesn’t even exist in the english language, and something that was made up and claimed to be racist.
‘Blackwashing’ was originally supposed to be used as representation, and people would take characters and change their skintone and hair style. A lot of people have claimed it as racist because you were ‘changing’ their race, when, no.. they weren’t, they were adding, not taking away. Sometimes people forget blasians exist…
Also, these same people who were doing this, switched up immediately when people were hating on it and it’s fucking annoying when you dumbasses do that.

“You’re blackwashing that character! That’s racist!”

Blackwashing 

Something that doesn't exist, because nothing ever turns black by washing. So more appropriate terms for the act of turning white characters black would be "blackpolluting", "blacksmutting" or "blackstaining".

BLM-Activist: "Blackwashing doesn't exist you bigot."
Me: "Exactly *trollface*."

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."
