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!! 😢

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

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*."
