49 Famous Examples of "Whitewashing" in the Movies (24/7 Tempo)
"In the film and television world, 'whitewashing' has two meanings: the converting of characters who were one race in the source material (usually a novel) into those who can be played by white actors — a practice also called "racebending" — and, perhaps even more offensive, the casting of white performers as Black, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, or other characters of color. To assemble a list of 50 famous examples of whitewashing in the movies, 24/7 Tempo consulted numerous articles on the subject in publications including The Huffington Post, TheWrap, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Complex, and The Guardian, and employed editorial knowledge of film casting through the years. This list is by no means complete. There are probably hundreds and hundreds of examples of whitewashing throughout movie history. But you'll find some of the biggest stars in cinematic history represented in these films." - 247tempo.com
