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. Billy: I'm moving to Texas. Sally: I hope you don't get whitewashed http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whitewashed 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. |

Yeah, I'm definitely white-washed. I live in a mostly white community and I went to a white elementary and middle school. I did not know that much about my culture and other Asian cultures other than what I learned from my parents. But, I don't speak Chinese, nor can I read or write it. It was really until I went to my high school, which is predominately asian that I suppose I "reconnected" with my Asian side... But I still think I'm white-washed and my boyfriend jokes around with me about that.
