I wouldn't call it whitewashing.
But I've also seen the dumbest fucking arguments about how [fantasy movie/TV series] can only have white people in it because everyone else would've been slaves. If a story has magic, dragons or similar, it strikes me as weird to claim the cast should be "historically accurate" aka all-white. And this movie has talking snowmen.

I think that's a fair point, especially since they're almost always wrong that "everyone else would've been slaves" (or "they were only white people there then." And yeah, even if they were right it's not like this is a documentary.

But still, some people on tumblr are doing the tumblr thing and trying to make this fit a dynamic it doesn't really fit (white-washing and appropriation), even though the basic point that Disney didn't need to make yet another movie all about white people seems valid as it stands.
