Why are there no white people with the last names Washington or Jackson?

I know that I did attend middle and high school (32 yo, situated in the Midwest) with a sole white kid whose last name was Jackson, but...

other than that, I've legit never met, or even heard of any other white person bearing these surnames.

I personally know a white guy named Michael Jackson.

We have plenty of white people in Virginia with those last names.

Because of RACI$M, OP!

Why there are so few white Washingtons is actually an interesting question, but claiming there are no white Jacksons because you remember only one growing up is a stupid claim, OP. There are tons and tons and tons of white Jacksons.

These were surnames taken by former slaves because of the Presidents.

There aren’t any direct descendants of George Washington I guess.

Victoria Jackson would like a word with you, beeyotch.

Because those are ghetto last names.

George set up such a high bar that you're just setting yourself up for failure if you're a white person with that last name. Case in point: Victoria Jackson.
