Blackwash

When an established character is turned black for no reason other than to diversify the cast. It is the opposite of whitewashing, and is normally not ever complained about

Person 1: Why did they have to blackwash Domino in the new Deadpool movie?
Person 2: What, are you saying she can't be black? You're so racist for not giving black actresses a chance
Person 1: it's not about being racist, it's about being accurate, jackass

Blackwash

A term made my Racist/Anti-Black people to justify their hatred.
This term can often be seen in anime or gaming fandoms followed by racist/anti black remarks.

Whyd you blackwash *character name*? They aren’t a monkey.
Whyd you burn *character name*? This is blackwashing!

blackwashing

Blackwashing is a term used when a person deliberately changes a (usually) white character, or person, to be included in the black race, as, to (in most cases) show more representation of the black community.

It is NOT okay to commit to blackwashing for more representation or any other reason. Blackwashing is just as bad as whitewashing. You are changing a character's ethnicity for YOUR OWN liking. It is unfair and showing the person needs to be in your community to be good. Please leave peoples' skins alone; they are perfect the way they ARE.

POC person: "We have the right to be blackwashing, it shows more of us."

Another POC person: "I am POC but believe that is unfair. We should not change someone's skin colour for any case."

Twitter really is something, so much hate, especially to artists. A lot of β€œart fixers” really enjoy BlackWashing, it’s a lot more common than you’d think.
