Whitewashing doesn't always mean taking a character and turning them white- it means taking non-European characters and making them more European. Like in Pocahontas case, they gave her the body type of a white, western woman, rather than that of a native American. Her dress was also made more American princess like rather than traditional. Mulan's face was given larger eyes and lips like Euro- western women, and her skin tone was lightened dramatically. When you take a culture and erase parts to make it more marketable for a Western audience- that is whitewashing.
