Character disguises self, for some reason or another, as a member of another group (usually an African-American or a woman). To his surprise, people treat him differently, and An Aesop occurs. Named for Black Like Me, John Howard Griffin's memoir about a social experiment of this variety that he undertook on himself. Not to be confused with Color Me Black. Allows white people to experience racism from the point of view of a black person while giving white audiences a Lead You Can Relate To. Critics say that this leads to the unfortunate implications that white people can only care about prejudice if the victim is white. Contrast with White Like Me. Contrast Color Me Black where the transformation is forced on someone to punish them or teach them a lesson. Compare Master of Disguise, when a character is generally good at disguising themselves as someone completely different. Compare Persecution Flip. This trope can be viewed as an Invoked Persecution Flip. Compare and contrast Blackface. Both involve using makeup to make a white person look black. However, Black Like Me is usually done to teach a moral about tolerance while Blackface is usually done to mock black people. Examples |

Lifetime Movie of the Week | |
| Black Like Me / int_2112092c | comment |
To Be Fat Like Me was a Lifetime Movie of the Week where a beautiful teenage girl decides to disguise herself as the new fat girl to prove to her Hollywood Pudgy little brother that his being unpopular is all his fault because of his mopey personality instead of a result of him being fat. She pretty quickly discovers that she's totally wrong. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Black Like Me / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
There is also a reference to a Noodle Incident later on in “The Chop� where Brittas seemed to resign, then went into the centre disguised as a woman to highlight the sexism in the centre. | |

There are several instances of women donning hijab to go "undercover" as Muslim women. There is also a "Hijab Challenge" which challenges other women to do the same thing. | |

| Black Like Me / int_9dfd7154 | comment |
This raises the question of how all the characters had fought alongside Dr. Joe for three RPs without noticing her ethnicity. | |

G.I.R.L. | |
| Black Like Me / int_e54245e1 | comment |
The G.I.R.L. challenge. If you're a guy, simply make a new account on a Forum/Social media with a female name, avatar, and or course gender setting. You aren't allowed to call the mods if people creep on you. Optionally, you aren't allowed to use the internet under any male identities during this time. Most men say they have a new respect for women on the internet after doing it for a month or so, particularly on a more active site. | |

Good Ol' Boy | |
| Black Like Me / int_e9544bad | comment |
Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days had a few episodes where he tried to live 30 days on: minimum wage, in a medium security prison, and in an indian reservation. The rest of the series consisted of having people live within a group they looked down upon, such as: a homophobic Good Ol' Boy from the Midwest staying with a resident in Castro Street; an Islamophobic Christian man living as a Muslim; a nativist Cuban immigrant from Arizona staying with an illegal immigrant Mexican family in East L.A. Also others who were encouraged to look at the other side of the argument, like: an anti gun activist living with gun enthusiasts; an avid hunter working with a an animal rights group; an abortion clinic doctor working with a pro-life organization; and several other examples. | |
