When a white person tells a person of color how to respond to or view a topic, usually when discussing race relations or inequality
Chad: Cops kill more white people than black people, on average.
Jasmine: Probably because there are more white people in America than there are black, but way to go whitesplaining again, Chad.

The act of a caucasian person explaining to audiences of color the true nature of racism; a caucasian person explaining sociopolitical events and/or history to audiences of color as though they are ignorant children; a caucasian person explaining to audiences of color that what they think will benefit themselves and their families and communities will in fact harm them, and vice versa.
U.S. Senator Rand Paul whitesplained to students at Howard University that a black Republican founded the NAACP.
"'We know our history,' Hay said of Paul's question. 'This is now; that was in the past.'"

The argument of last resort by a racist individual who believes someone's race determines whether they are correct or not. Typically used when someone cannot actually muster a coherent/rational argument.
"Oh no, I have no argument... Wait! He's white! I don't need to have an argument to win, all I have to do is point out that he's whitesplaining and I automatically win! Racism is just the best!"

Whitesplain
When a white person explains something to a minority, uninvited, about a topic they are either equally qualified or more qualified to talk on.
Examples: Chelsea Handler telling 50 Cent he is black as relating to his voting preference. Joe Biden telling people "you ain't black" if they don't vote for him
When Fiddy got out of line, Chelsea put him in his place with some righteous whitesplaining.
