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."

blackwashing is taking a (usually) white character and turning it into a black person. but however, it is literally NEVER okay to take someone's character, and change it without permission. neither is it okay to take an oc, based off of someone irl, and change it for what you think it should be. making a black character is representation enough, you soaked boar.
person one: "if you think blackwashing exists, you are racist."
person two: "dude what the hell, did you just assume if someone was racist based off of that? that's cringe."

1) A process of turning a non-black person ethnically black (usually in anime fandoms)
Doing this to ethnically Asian characters (usually in anime as Asians barely get good media representation) gets rid of Asian representation (yes Asians can get mad at this).
person 1: This person turned this ethnically Asian character ethnically black. This blackwashing fanart is good :o
person 2: Yet it's racist when they turn an ethnically black person Asian 💀

The opposite of whitewashing; pretending or otherwise revising the historical fact of a scenario in such a way as to demonize all involved parties and lionize any affected persons in a way that contradicts the reality of the situation.
Many people who want to have "Columbus Day" changed to "Native American Day" are guilty of blackwashing: they pretend Native Americans never lifted a finger against Europeans.

It is never okay to wash any color to your ideal standards. No matter if its yellow,white,black,red etc. It is a negative word and can be seen racist in other race,country.
Its still have the same concept as whitewwashing, yellowashing etc
blackwashing may exist in western countries it does not exist in Asian countries due to the different culture,tradition and history.

some stupid ass shit that doesn't exist. it's a word you won't see outside of tiktok because it simply doesn't exist. somebody took the white in white washing and replaced it with black and thought they did something.
"that's blackwashing"
"you sound dumb as shit."
