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 hope Im not. People say that I sound like a white person sometimes And usually its my own Liberian people who tell me that, or they either call me valley girl, but I could care less. I mean what can I say I live in California. But I dont really see how I could be since I did grow up in a place full of mostly Mexicans, and a few blacks. But whatever.
