1) A process of turning a non-black person ethnically black (usually in anime fandoms)

Get the blackwashing mug.An example of hypocrisy in modern SJW thought, whereby the moral case made by SJWs against historical whitewashing, is somehow negated when it comes to erasing whiteness from white scripted characters.
