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''

blackwash

When a non-black person criticizes a black person, he may feel there is a need to disprove the influence of racism on his opinions. So, he proves he's not racist by citing another black person who also criticizes the first black person. Stephen Colbert coined the term on September 24th, 2009.

Blackwash can be used as either a noun or a verb.
Mr. White: I've been saying for a long time that Mr. Black's policies are terrible. An African-American writer from the New York Times criticized him too.

Mr. Black: Don't blackwash me. Why do you need to point out that the writer is black?
