When a character who is supposed to be of mixed ancestry is played by an actor who obviously is not. This is not to say that people of mixed parentage do not physically resemble one race over another—they often do. This trope describes the flagrant instances of laziness and inattention in casting, which result in an attempt to force the viewer to accept that a character is the biological child of a character of another race, even though their phenotype clearly precludes that from being a real possibility. This is due in large part to the lack of mixed-race actors in the American television/film industries — although one should point out that this is largely due to the biases of the industry itself, which has a tendency to shy away from performers who aren't readily identifiable as members of a particular race/ethnicity. Often occurs where the parentage of the character is a defining issue of the plot. This is not uncommon in American dramatic shows, where it most often involves the children of black/white mixed marriages. Chalk this one up to the rigid and brutal history of the American color line—scriptwriters still use the twist of an ostensibly "white" character being fathered by a black man (or vice versa) to jolt the audience by invoking longstanding taboos against cross-racial romance. Therefore, one could say that the imperatives of plot justify this trope to a limited extent. However, in the majority of cases, it comes across as utterly implausible. More often than not, the writer simply leans upon viewer ignorance—as if the relatively small number of biracial Americans makes it possible to accept that a character is biracial simply because the plot decrees it. Adding to the insult against viewer intelligence is clumsy writing, which often causes the parentage revelation to be completely disconnected from the preceding plot. It is often a ham-handed attempt to up the dramatic ante, without rhyme, reason, or foreshadowing. In other words, it is a cheap source of foundation-shaking conflict that can be invoked without regard for the narrative's internal logic. A variant is often used in a comedic context, such as animation or sitcoms. A character will discover obscure roots in another ethnic group, usually by way of a distant ancestor. The character will often proceed to redefine their whole identity in a ludicrously exaggerated manner based on this information, regardless of the fact that the person lacks any substantive cultural or physical resemblance to the group in question. This plotline's persistence can perhaps be explained by its versatility as a vehicle for dissecting and/or subverting ethnic stereotypes and assumptions. In real life, mixed-race individuals can theoretically be anywhere along the range of colors of any of the races in their makeup, up to and including the lightest and darkest extremes of skin and hair color - though this is extremely rare, and even then you usually can still infer the fact that they have mixed ancestry from their facial features. This nonetheless attracts criticism because Reality Is Unrealistic. Compare Gender Equals Breed. See also Ambiguously Brown. |

Both TV adaptations of Bony cast a white actor in the half-Aboriginal title role. Following complaints, the nineties series had a hasty retool to change their character from a descendent of the original Bony to a white man adopted by Bony's descendants. | |

The half-Chinese, half-white son in the 1922 film The Toll of the Sea was played by a white girl. He looks nothing like his mother and that helps him pass for the biological child of his mother's ex-husband's new wife (who is a white American). | |

When Miss Saigon opened in New York, the casting of Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer caused a huge controversy with Actors' Equity, as the character is mixed race (Vietnamese/French) and Pryce is white. While he did eventually go on to play the role on Broadway (and win a Tony for it), productions since then have consistently cast actors of Asian descent. For the record, the first Asian to portray the role is Chinese actor Wang Luoyong, who previously appeared as Ip Man in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. | |

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: The eponymous Buckaroo Banzai is Japanese-American. He is played by Peter Weller, who is American but not Japanese. This is Lampshaded in the DVD Commentary by (the "real") Reno, who claims the movie is a Docudrama inspired by real events. He praises Weller's acting but admits he doesn't look much like (the "real") Buckaroo Banzai. | |

The Simpsons: In-Universe: Apu pretends to be married to Marge when his mother comes to visit, hoping this will get him out of the Arranged Marriage she wants to foist on him. By extension, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie pretend to be Apu's children, despite clearly being too light-skinned to pass for Anglo-Indians; the option of pretending to be Apu and Marge's adopted children also didn't occur to them. At one point they ask her why she has a dot on her forehead and she questions whether they know anything about their "Brahmin heritage". Ironically, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie were eventually revealed to be part black and part Native American through their father's side, although to such a small extent that they could still have blond hair. Nelson Muntz (German-American through his father's side) also claimed to be "part Eskimo" — leading Principal Skinner to retort, "I don't care if you're Kristi Yamaguchi." |

A classic example is Kung Fu (1972), where the son of a Chinese mother and white American father is played by full-white David Carradine. He was originally planned to be full Chinese and played by Bruce Lee (who is of mixed race), but the suits didn't think the audience could relate to an Asian actor. | |

More plausibly used in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, in which Carradine plays the original Kung Fu (1972) character's Identical Grandson, who's presumably had a couple of generations of partial white ancestry. His son is played by a white actor, who Lampshades it by remarking that his own mom looked like Betty Crocker. | |

Parodied and lampshaded in 30 Rock: With TGS soon to be cancelled, Tracy (played by the very dark-skinned Tracy Morgan) and Jenna (played by the white, blonde Jane Krakowski) decide their next project should be a movie where they play Conjoined Twins, the joke being that they are both too stupid to realize that non-identical or opposite-sex conjoined twins are impossible and that neither of them could conceivably pass as mixed race. Played straight and also lampshaded later in the same episode when Liz and Criss meet their foster children, who are Expies of Jenna and Tracy: a black boy and white girl. They are apparently full biological siblings and fraternal twins. |

Saved by the Bell: "Running Zack" has Zack Morris saying he has Native American Ancestry and then proceeding to do a very stereotypical and offensive class presentation. When called out on this he is sent to study with Chief Henry to learn some actual facts. This leads to Zack going on to give a presentation in full costume complete with headdress, which is only marginally better but enough to allow him to compete in the Track Meet. Mark-Paul Gosselaar who plays Zack Morris is however of mixed race (describing himself as half Asian) as he has a Dutch-German Father and Dutch-Indonesian Mother and had to dye his hair to Zack's trademark blond. |

Camille Montes Rivero from Quantum of Solace is supposedly half-Russian and half-Bolivian, but is played by Russian-Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko. Kurylenko significantly darkened her skin in order to appear Hispanic (unnecessary as there are many light-skinned Bolivians, and this includes ones who have Eastern European ancestry). | |

Justified with Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, who is remarked upon to have Japanese ancestry by Vulcan Raven despite looking wholly white. His Japanese "ancestry" comes from a Japanese woman, who donated the enucleated egg cells which were injected with Big Boss' DNA to clone him. Snake was engineered to look and act like Big Boss, along with his brothers Liquid and Solidus, "ancestry" be damned. Originally, the twist was that Big Boss was half-Japanese himself in which the previous game portrayed him with Sean Connery as a stand-in; this has been retconned. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In the manga, Jotaro Kujo is ¼ British-American (from his Grandfather Joseph), ¼ Italian (from his Grandmother Suzi Q), and ½ Japanese on his Father's side. In the live-action movie, he's played by Yusuke Iseya, who is 100% Japanese and not biracial. Likewise with Josuke Higashikata, who was born out of the result of an affair between British-American Joseph (yes, the aforementioned Grandpa) and the Japanese Tomoko Higashikata. In the film, he's played by Kento Yamazaki, who is full-blooded Japanese. |

While it isn't explicitly stated she's his biological child, their turbulent family situation and Ian's comments about his kids and ex-wives in the previous film ("anything that can and all does happen") strongly imply that he has never been in a stable marriage (or even relationship) long enough to have adopted. | |

In Battlestar Galactica: The white actor Jamie Bamber plays Captain Lee Adama, the son of Commander Bill Adama, who is played by the Latino actor Edward James Olmos. Lee's mother Carolanne is played by a blonde white actress. To make Lee and Bill look more alike, Jamie Bamber's naturally sandy hair is dyed brown and EJO wears blue contact lenses over his naturally brown eyes. As per above, Commander Adama is played by Latino actor Edward James Olmos. In the prequel series Caprica, his father Joseph is played by the Latino actor Esai Morales and his mother Evelyn is played by the white actress Teryl Rothery. Which explains the blue eyes. Of the child actresses who played Hera, only the infant actress was Eurasian (Hera having been born to Helo, whose actor Tahmoh Penikett is half white half Native American, and Athena, whose actress Grace Park is Asian). The others were Caucasian and Latina. |
