Attire isn't "whitewashing", its taking the character and changing its skin colour. Picture a native African in their attire... Then change the skin colour to white. That's "whitewashing".

You can do the opposite and change a white character to black, which a lot of comics try and do to "correct" the issue with there being too many white characters. Particularly with superheroes. They also can change the gender for the same reason. Personally, I think its better when they come up with a new character altogether... Forced equality can be as bad as no equality.

I too detach myself from the boxart, but I understand the issues behind colour representation and demand for representation. Those with darker skin pay more into music and get less out of it. :-?
