A term that doesn’t actually exist. Whitewashing and blackwashing are not the same thing, one has history the other one doesn’t. One is done with bad intentions the other isn’t. Black people may change a characters race due to poor representation in anime

Blackwashing is an internet term made by racist 4chan and reddit users made out of retaliation towards black people where you make an existing character Black. But the intent behind it was made by black people to expressed their love for the character make them look like them especially around times where they either never had representation or representation was racist, or no thought put into. Do not confuse it with whitewashing or compare it Because whitewashing affects people in real life causing them death or generational trauma. (Open a history book)

The general point of blackfishing is for a female of European descent to appear of African, Arab, or Hispanic ancestry.
Some consider it to be equivalent to modern day “black face” because it capitalizes off the looks of historically oppressed groups of people by people who come from more privileged backgrounds.
