Blackwashing

A word that doesn’t even exist in the english language, and something that was made up and claimed to be racist.
‘Blackwashing’ was originally supposed to be used as representation, and people would take characters and change their skintone and hair style. A lot of people have claimed it as racist because you were ‘changing’ their race, when, no.. they weren’t, they were adding, not taking away. Sometimes people forget blasians exist…
Also, these same people who were doing this, switched up immediately when people were hating on it and it’s fucking annoying when you dumbasses do that.
You’re blackwashing that character! That’s racist!”

Blackwashing

Something that doesn't exist, because nothing ever turns black by washing. So more appropriate terms for the act of turning white characters black would be "blackpolluting", "blacksmutting" or "blackstaining".
BLM-Activist: "Blackwashing doesn't exist you bigot."
Me: "Exactly *trollface*."

blackwashing

The practice of changing the race of a character or person to black is often labeled as a means for white individuals to alleviate guilt about whitewashing. However, this assertion is inaccurate. White people often face discrimination from other racial groups and are frequently seen as the "default race." Both whitewashing and blackwashing are detrimental and should be avoided.
Person 1: "Changing character's race because white people are dumb and will never be able to understand how racism feels like, LOL!"

Person 2: "That's blackwashing and racist. Stop it."

Blackwashing

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
Person 1: *changes a character’s race to be black*

Person 2 (usually white): Thats blackwashing!! 😢
