Ok I searched of course and I didnt find anything on this, so.....

Do you consider yourself white washed?

1. Whitewashed
To be assimilated into the N.A society, forgetting your own language and culture and tries to act like a white person to gain acceptance. Looked down upon both of the cultures he/she supposedly belongs in.


2. whitewashed
When a person who isn't white forgets their culture and acts like a white person.

I had an interesting conversion about this with a friend (who is black) that considers herself "whitewashed" and then that got me thinking so I did a little research on it.

I'm accused of being whitewashed. These stupid little girls would tell me how whitewashed I am for not celebrating such and such holidays or for not speaking Vietnamese when I'm around Vietnamese. I hate to tell them that it's simply a preference of mine and that I could beat them all in a writing/reading/culture/history test. But ah... people will say what they wanna say.

Whoa, I didn't know you were Asian. Interesting..you learn something new every day

Anyhow, yeah I think I'm sorta whitewashed, although I probably used to be more so when I was in middle school/early high school, but I'm still sort of.
