When a white person tells a person of color how they should feel or respond to a topic, usually when discussing race relations or systemic racism. While whitesplaining, the individual will often mention a self-hating black person that agrees with their viewpoint.
My community has been celebrating Juneteenth for generations, but Karen just heard of the holiday for the first time at a Donald Trump rally, and she tried to whitesplain as to why we should celebrate our emancipation on January 1st. She says that good black people like Ben Carson, Candace Owens, and Clarence Thomas agrees and that other blacks should too.

When a white woman speaks very slowly to a brown woman, telling her how to perform a chore or proper etiquette in a public space, as if the brown woman has never performed the task before or as if the brown woman does not know how to behave in a social situation. You will often find a 'Becky' whitesplaining something to her one token brown friend.
Aisha grew up in a large family where house chores were mandatory and you had to be considerate of all the other people living in the household. Still, her first roomate in college (we'll call her Becky) felt the need to whitesplain to her not to load the dishwasher with the fork side up because someone could really hurt themselves taking the dishes out. Rather than words, hand gestures were mostly used to reenact an injury because of course even with the really slow talking, Becky didn't think Aisha would understand the right way to load a dishwasher unless she showed her how it was done.
