Racism is a terrible thing. And sometimes, someone will take it upon themselves to teach a racist just what a terrible thing it is. And, to do that, they use some kind of power to transform the racist (usually temporarily) into a member of the race they despise. Not to be confused with Black Like Me. In Black Like Me, the subject undergoes the change voluntarily while in Color Me Black, the subject is changed involuntarily. Also, Color Me Black is much more likely to involve supernatural forces than Black Like Me, which usually involves more realistic methods of changing one's appearance. Also not to be confused with Blackface, when a person costumes themselves as a minority for purposes of racist mockery. See also Karmic Transformation, You Are What You Hate, Boomerang Bigot and Persecution Flip. See And Then John Was a Zombie for the supernatural variant. Compare Gender Bender. |

In the Vows and Honor duology by Mercedes Lackey, the protagonists foil a bandit party that's been preying on caravans, slaying the men outright and slaying the women after the bandits rape them. They kill the bandits, save their leader. Said bandit leader gets transformed into a buxom blond woman, stripped naked, and sent back to his/her fellows. Do not piss the sisters off... | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In "The Grell", humans have enslaved a race of Rubber-Forehead Aliens. An important politician survives a plane crash with his family and his Grell servant, but is critically injured. The Grell heals him by infusing his master with Grell DNA, which will slowly transform him into one of them. Whereas he had previously callously killed a Grell servant who tried to flee, when he's treated in the same way by a human soldier who tries to kill him for being a "half-breed" he starts to see the error of his ways. "Tribunal", the 100th episode, featured an ending where a Nazi war criminal who's escaped justice for 50 years is put into the uniform of his prisoners and taken back in time to his own camp. His younger self shoots him after the "old Jewish man" says he isn't supposed to be there, and in an attempt to explain himself to his younger self cites details from his childhood and seriously disturbs the younger self. |

The Twilight Zone (1959): Sammy Davis Jr. wrote in his autobiography that he suggested an episode have a white supremacist wake up one day and he's black. Rod Serling eventually wrote the story "Color Scheme" for his anthology The Season to Be Wary. The other two stories in that collection were part of the Night Gallery pilot, but "Color Scheme" was seen as too raw even for 1970s TV. In "A Quality of Mercy", a GI in World War II who's just a little too enthused about killing is suddenly transformed into a Japanese soldier and hears his commander on that side speak in a bloodthirsty way about killing Americans. |

The Twilight Zone (2002): In "Shades of Guilt", a white man sees a black man being attacked and drives away instead of helping. He later learns that the man was a college professor who was beaten to death by skinheads. As he is consumed by guilt his skin begins to darken over time until he looks just like the victim and ends up in the same situation. It's actually a chance for him to realize that he was wrong and change his decision. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas, Caesar's Legion looks down on Ghouls. However, if you nuke the Legion outpost at Dry Wells, many of the Legion troops there are turned into Ghouls, not to mention all of the Ghouls in the Great Divide. In this case, however, the change isn't entirely done out of revenge and is very painfully permanent. | |

Derek Simmons's obsessions with Ada Wong causes him to transform his white girlfriend Carla Radames into a physical and mental copy of Ada. Unfortunately, Carla's memories and true personality re-emerge and she decides to take revenge on Simmons by causing a viral outbreak and framing the real Ada for her crimes. | |

A segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie plays with this, where a bigot suddenly finds himself in Nazi Germany and accused of being Jewish, then in the Deep South where apparently several Klansmen see him as a Black Man (though his skin doesn't actually change), and later fleeing into the jungles of Vietnam as an Asian during the war. | |

After she pissed off main character Anos Voldigoad, he turned her into a hybrid, then cursed her with Resurrective Immortality to ensure she'll always come back as a hybrid every time she dies, so even killing herself won't let her escape this fate. | |

Bloom County: Played for laughs once: Oliver Wendell Jones invents a gadget that temporarily turns white people black, and Cutter John is going to take it to D.C. and use it on the ambassador from South Africa (this was still the time of apartheid, so the ambassador would have been white) but his wheelchair-balloon gets blown off course and he is lost at sea. He also uses it on a clueless Steve Dallas, who, as "an occasional mutterer of racial slurs" (though that's not really something he's known for), assumes it is a Karmic Twist Ending and starts searching for Rod Serling (of The Twilight Zone) in the bushes. |

Gargoyles villain Demona summons and binds Puck and forces him to grant her various wishes, which he delights in twisting because he dislikes her, and because her wishes consist of "Kill All Humans," a species of which Puck is fond. She also wishes that she would not turn to stone during the day like other gargoyles — which Puck grants by causing her to turn human during the day instead. And in this case, it's permanent. As usual, Demona learns nothing. | |

Black Lightning: A near-miss. The first black character from DC Comics to headline their own book was nearly the Black Bomber: a white bigot who, in times of stress, turned into a black super-hero. This was the result of chemical camouflage experiments he'd taken part in as a soldier in The Vietnam War. The object of these experiments was to allow white troops to blend into the jungle. Fortunately for all involved, the editor who okayed this character left DC before the first issue saw print, and his replacement Tony Isabella managed to persuade the powers-that-be that having the company's first solo black character be a white bigot was a really bad idea. Instead he persuaded them to run his own creation of Black Lightning: a teacher at an inner-city school putting on a costume to fight drug pushers and other assorted urban (i.e., non-super) crime elements at night. | |

Drowtales: Most drow hate Demonic Possession and will frequently try to murder any possessed that have Body Horror, while generally oppressing possessed that just have red eyes. Of course, since the Nether demons are drawn to soul auras, and most of a drow's soul is their aura, getting possessed is as easy as touching demon gas, which occasionally happens to Kyorls, and happened to Sil'lice right after she disowned her possessed son. For extra irony, many of Snadhya'Rune's minions go from demon haters to willing hosts once they learn that the proper demonic rituals can give them Resurrective Immortality. |

He disappears and sometime later reappears having mysteriously transformed into a Native American, but having lost the ability to speak anything but Russian.

In the Johnny Bravo episode "Witchy Woman," Johnny sexually harasses a woman with magical powers, who curses him to wake up the following day as a woman. Sure enough, it happens, and the new Johnny finds herself attracting a lot of unwanted attention from men and regrets what he's been doing his whole life, lifting the curse. Of course, Johnny being as dumb as he is, he forgets all about it by the next episode and is back to his flirty self. | |

In Finian's Rainbow, Sharon tells a racist senator she wishes he were black so he would understand what black people have to go through due to people who think like he does. She happens to be standing where a pot of magical wish-granting gold is buried, so... well, you can guess where this is going. Interestingly the race-switch isn't what changes his views. It was a leprechaun that magically made him more open-minded. After that, his efforts to take back his previous racist actions fail because while he wants to change things, he is now black and the white officers won't listen to him. | |

An episode of South Park has the boys making Eric Cartman think he's...a ginger. Freckles and hair dye. The episode then turns this on its head—rather than making Cartman rethink his horrible attitude, he actually starts a ginger supremacist movement, radicalizing all the gingers and nearly killing every non-ginger in the town, only stopping when Stan reveals the trick, at which point Cartman realizes his army will soon kill him too if he doesn't de-radicalize them as soon as possible. This episode could be a deconstruction in that it argues that supremacists behave as they do not because they don't understand the other side, but because they need to feel superior to someone else. | |

There's an episode of Mork & Mindy in which Mork uses his Orkan powers to turn a bunch of racists into Latino, Black and East-Asian, among other changes (two of them were turned orange and at least one had stripes.). They were expies of the KKK, so they didn't know it until they took their white hoods off. | |

A low-key version in 1941 (1979). Private Folley bullies Private Jones simply because Jones happens to be black. Later Pvt. Jones gets a sack of flour on his face, while Pvt. Foley takes a blast of ash on his face. Foley starts laughing at Jones because of lighter complexion, until Jones points out that Foley has darker complexion and laughs while telling Foley to "go to the back of the tank." | |

In the Mission: Impossible episode "Kitara", the IMF uses drugs and a special light bulb to make a ruthless white provincial governor in an apartheid African nation believe he's actually black as part of a ploy to free a resistance leader. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Subverted in an episode. The morning after receiving a lecture from one of her relatives about the importance of not judging by appearance, Sabrina checks herself in the mirror and is grateful that her appearance wasn't modified in the night. Harvey, however, spends the episode transformed into a beast-man, and Sabrina has to accept him before the curse is undone. Also subverted when Sabrina turns Libby into a geek, forcing her out of her popular clique. Libby joins the geeky kids and manages to become their leader, then proceeds to act just as tyrannical as she always has, excluding Sabrina from Science Club for not being geeky enough. |
