Okay, sorry for the snark. :P Whitewashing has figuratively meant to conceal something's bad qualities for a while now. The race meaning isn't wrong, but it's a lot more recent.

That's alright, I like snark.
Thanks for the explanation!

but how is that white? why would you wash anything white if it's not a color? you can wash a poc into white but you cannot wash an evil person white, you'll just change them into good ones.

Don't tell me the concept "dark/black=evil; light/white=good" is completely foreign to you.

It's based on the the fact that whitewashing was originally a term for painting a fence over white, covering up blemishes and chips and such. Ergo, if you are whitewashing a character, you are covering up their bad deeds like you would cover up a fence with paint.
