Brownwashing is a casting practice in the film industry of mainly The United States in which POC actors are cast in historically non-POC character roles. The film industry has a history of frequently casting POC actors for roles involving White, non-Hispanic culture.
Hermione Granger although a fictional character she has historically perceived as a young white girl this was up until recently when a Play based on the books announced their casting of a black woman to play the roll of Germione Granger. The Brownwashing of this popular fictional white character is just a small sample of this ever growing trend in entertainment industry.
