Whitewashing is all around us, whether we are aware of it or not. 

It’s not just in movies, TV shows, and other media where white actors are cast in roles meant for actors of color, however explicit or implicit their identify is communicated in the source material. It’s everywhere.  

In the way we talk about the population demographics of a place, how we move through the world and compare ourselves to others, how we choose what books to read. Even how we celebrate the communities we come from.
