Diversity Washing

A term used to describe the process of including diversity for the sake of pushing diverse agenda, or where it does not fit. This is very similar to white washing, but usually does the opposite. It most commonly applies to film adaptations of books, who race or gender swap characters to ensure the film cast is diverse, in places where the book or story characters were not. It also applied to historical adaptations in which a character (usually white) from history is portrayed as being some other race than they actually where historically. Can apply to film, video game, comic book, plays, books or any other form of media.

Oakville Washington

A ghetto ass town in the middle of nowhere where every white person in the town is a hick and the closest store is 10 miles away. There's only 3 things to do in Oakville ; Smoke pot, Hang with your ghetto ass friends, or be a fatass and play video games all day. And also the place where everyone hates on Rochester (the next closest town).
God, why do I have to live in ghetto old Oakville?
