Culture wash

Similar to white washing, culture washing is when a person of color (mainly Latino or African-American) calls for something to be diversified, so that they may feel more comfortable with their own racial insecurity. For the most part, culture washing is done by big time corporations in the entertainment industry, so that they can make an easy buck by pandering to different crowds and feeding certain agendas.
Culture Wash Example 1:

"Hey Tyrone, did you hear they're making the Little Mermaid black?"

"Really? Shit nigga, I'm gonna have to see that!"

Culture Wash Example 2:

"Ey, I feel like they should make Superman latino, he is an alien after all, and his only weakness is something that's green!"

"Carlos! You may be on to something holmes!"

Culture wash example 3: "Okay guys, what beloved television character are we going to diversify next?"
