[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White wash is an expression about covering up some misdeed. It's origins come from using cheap white paint. It's not a racist statement.[/quote] Yes that's true when it is used to describe circumstances which are being covered-up or camouflaged, as with paint. [b]But describing the action of a white MIL trying to shape a DIL of another culture or race or ethnicity into someone who is more like MIl as "whitewashing"--that is offensive.[/b][/quote] Non-white person here. I don't understand what is offensive about the term when it's describing something that is completely offensive- trying to erase or dismiss a non-white culture or heritage. Can you explain more?[/quote]
