This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Did you know that Alice is black? No? Well, that's understandable, because it's hard to tell between the horns and the fur. Basically, this trope is when a character belongs to a certain ethnicity, but this is made unclear because they have some physical attributes that cover up the features that might mark them as a member of that ethnicity.

The alien signal on Threshold has about a 50/50 chance of either turning its victims into super powered alien agents or killing them. If it kills them, it causes their corpses to undergo a disfiguring (and painful) transformation. In one episode, Nigel is able to have one such victim transferred to their lab for autopsy by claiming she's an Orthodox Jew. At the lab, he comments that for once, the disfigurement worked in their favor because she was actually Chinese. | |

In Interviews with Monster Girls, vampires are considered a human mutant that, among other traits, have fair skin and blond hair and irises. This is why the ethnically Japanese father of the ethnically Japanese vampire Hikari dyes his hair blond; to avoid doubts about Hikari's parentage out of this trope. | |

Whateley Universe: Basically any large amount of what is termed "Gross Structural Dystrophy" could lead to this. Cerulea's mutation turned her coloration into variants of blue, so her original ethnicity as a white American is utterly obscured. Fubar underwent some transformation due to Cthulhu Mythos influence, turning a normal mutant human into some semi-aquatic being. Blot, who absorbs all energy, and therefore just looks like a black humanoid shape, as there's no light to show any of his features. |

Ebon from Static Shock has been mutated by the Big Bang into a creature of pure shadow and darkness, and is pitch black for most of his appearance. Prior to the Big Bang, he was an African American teenager, but this isn't immediately visible due to him being just a man-shaped mass of shadow. When he is de-powered in the series finale, he bears a striking resemblance to his brother Adam, the Rubberband Man. | |

This has occurred several times in New X-Men: Academy X: Bling! is an African-American girl, but has a crystalline form that gives her purple skin. This has occasionally resulted in artists, particularly fan artists, mistakenly giving her Caucasian features. Indra is an Indian boy, but this is not always clear due to his having purple skin and red hair. Rockslide is a Latino boy, but has a rocky form. Prior to losing his powers, Beak had a face like a baby bird. After Sofia Mantega encountered him post-depowering, she was shocked to see that he was a white boy. It's not clear what Glob was before his powers activated, but given that he is now a human-shaped mound of living paraffin wax, it's essentially irrelevant. |

In V for Vendetta, Codename V was left horribly disfigured as a result of the hormone experiments, and then they became even more disfigured when they blew up Larkhill and got caught in the flames. And the few records of V's life before Larkhill have long since disappeared. As Eric Finch notes, there is no way to determine V's race or even gender. Subverted in the finale, when the original V dies and Evey Hammond takes over their identity. | |

Exiles (2018) attempted to avert this trope, giving pink-skinned Blink noticeably black facial features to reflect the fact that she has black Bahamian heritage. This led to some controversy with the fandom, many of whom had long believed that Blink was Caucasian and accused the artist of Race Lifting her for the sake of "political correctness". | |

Early in her career, the modern, Pakistani-American Ms Marvel used her newfound morphing abilities to pose as the original Ms. Marvel, who is white. She later abandoned this disguise because it became impractical when the actual Carol Danvers was now a more public figure, but the fact that she was able to do this means that during Outlawed, when she became wanted by the police, the cops declined to set up a dragnet for every South-Asian teenager in Jersey, because they couldn't be sure that Ms. Marvel wouldn't just use her powers to hide her ethnicity. | |

Subverted in Watchmen (2019) - Even after Cal Abar reverts to being Doctor Manhattan and regains his glowing blue skin, he still has African-American features (i.e. those of the man whose identity he took, Calvin Abar, not those of the man he was born as, Jon Osterman, who was white), and thus his adopted kids immediately recognize him. | |

Ben Grimm and Sharon Ventura, both members of the Fantastic Four, were mutated into bulky, rock-like forms as a result of exposure to cosmic rays, obscuring the fact that they are both white and, in Grimm's case, Jewish. | |

In Legion, Cary Loudermilk was born to Native American parents, but appears to be white, to the point that when he was born, his father assumed that his mother had an affair. However, it turns out this was a result of his mutation, which meant he shared a body with his sister Kerry, who does have a Native appearance. | |

Jinx in To Catch A Raven is Indian but people, even other Indians, don't usually notice this because of her gothic style and her grey skin color (though she does have racial features). | |

Invoked but subverted in an issue of Deadpool's initial run. The One World Church hires Deadpool to steal the Facade Virus, and intends on wiping out racial inequity by turning the entire population of the planet blue. After they turn people blue, Deadpool points out you can still tell someone's ethnicity from their features and their plan was for naught and is undone. | |

Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers features a war between two subspecies of an insectoid race, with black being good and white being evil. A member of the former race was born an albino, so they sent him to infiltrate the enemy. | |
