I think darmok is using whitewashed to mean "sanitized" or "cleaned up" not "has a greater percentage of white people".

Like when congressional testimony whitewashes a friendly fire incident, it generally means that they are covering it up or making it look better.

Oh I agree. I was in Seattle in 2005. My girlfriend was here in the 80s to 90s.
