A character hides their ethnic background for whatever reason, though either fears of persecution or hiding their family are the usual causes. This involves trying to "pass" as another race (usually white) and might include creating a Naturalized Name. If the person doesn't pass well-enough this is a Pass Fail. Compare to Hide Your Otherness for fantasy variants, Hiding the Handicap for when a character wants to hide a disability rather than their ancestry, Fauxreigner for when a native-born character claims to be a foreigner, and Really Royalty Reveal when a character is revealed to have royal heritage. If biracial, the character is likely trying to avoid Half-Breed Discrimination. Super-Trope to Pass Fail. |

Solon in My Deepest, Darkest Secret has to keep his werewolf half a secret from his pure vampire brothers and from the rest of the world, for there's no such thing as a hybrid between a vampire and a werewolf. Fittingly enough, his brothers weren't too happy to discover his werewolf heritage and he gets targeted and kidnapped by hunters later in the story. | |

In Bioshock Infinite, it is revealed that Father Comstock, and by extension his Alternate Self Booker DeWitt, are part Sioux. This serves to underscore both men's pasts, as before the Point of Divergence that split the two they participated in the Battle of Wounded Knee, committing multiple atrocities just to cement their racial identity to their fellow whites. | |

In Maus, the mice (Jews) wear pig masks to pass among the general population of pigs (Poles). As the story is non-fiction, it's understood that the Jews didn't actually do this, but is just the comic's way of depicting their attempts to blend in. Played with in Anja's case, whose pig mask disguise doesn't hold up as well as her husband Vladek's because of her more 'Jewish' characteristics, which in this case is depicted as a relatively longer mouse tail. | |

Fire Emblem : In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Branded are Half-Human Hybrids of Beorc and Laguz, and are treated with Fantastic Racism by both, so most have to hide it. Some pass themselves off as mages who've made contracts with spirits, another act that leaves skin markings. This rarely works, as Laguz' Super-Senses can detect them, and Beorc will notice how slowly they age after enough time in their company. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Claude von Riegan is half Almyran, but due to cultural and racial prejudice he has to hide it especially since he is the future head of one of the three houses of Fodlan. He only opens up about his racial identity to Byleth, Petra, Balthus, and his fellow Almyran Cyril, and even then he still hides the fact that he is not just Almyran but also Almyran royalty. Seteth and Flayn are part of a dragon-like race called the Nabataeans, but hide this due to certain villainous groups namely, "those who slither in the dark" seeking their blood for its magical properties. To keep up the ruse, Seteth pretends to be Flayn's older brother, when he's actually her father. |

Angel: "Hero" has a demon-blooded youth sneer to Doyle that Doyle's life must have been a cakewalk compared to his own, as Doyle, while also part-demon, is "passing" (i.e., looks human, unlike the boy). "Are You Now, or Have You Ever Been" involves a half-black woman who was fired from her job at a bank in the '50s when it was learned she had been passing as white. |

Unfortunately, she blurts out that she's really black to her white fiancé, after a friend of hers warns her that's she's playing a dangerous game in deceiving him. Indeed, he's so enraged that he beats and rapes her. | |

Imitation of Life follows Peola (in the 1934 version) and Sarah Jane (in the 1959 version), a light-skinned black girl who can quite easily pass for white, trying her best to deny her mother and her previous life altogether. It doesn't end well. In the 1934 version, Peola is humiliated when her dark-skinned mother comes to meet her at school as a child, and later she has to quit her job when her mother tracks her down at work. In the 1959 version, it's worse for Sarah Jane — her white boyfriend beats her senseless when he finds out, and she gets fired from her job as a cabaret dancer when her mother comes looking for her. | |

Near the end of Valkyria Chronicles, Princess Cordelia takes off her hennin to reveal that she and House Randgriz, the ruling house of Gallia, are not of Valkyrur but instead of Darcsen descent. Not only that, it is also revealed that House Randgriz acted as The Quisling during the Valkyrur's invasion of the Darcsen lands ages ago, and were rewarded by being allowed to reign over Gallia while the rest of their kind suffered persecution. She comes clean to the rest of the world in the epilogue, as her experiences throughout the story have encouraged her to break with tradition and atone for her family's sins. | |

His white parents turn up during The Teaser; his skin color is implied to be from cosmetics, e.g. spray-on tan.

Soul Eater: Subverted in one set of episodes. Black Star and Tsubaki on assignment go to a village to track down and detain a weapon. However, the duo encounter hostility due to the former's relation to the murderous, avaricious, and soul-stealing Star Clan (of which Black Star was the only one spared by Lord Death due to being only an infant and thus not having taken part in those afflictions committed by his family). Rather than keeping a low profile and keeping any part of his heritage a secret, Black Star, given his arrogant nature, proudly proclaimed who he was and made their mission all the bit more difficult. | |

In C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America, Horace accuses John Ambrose Fauntroy of having black ancestry, which would ruin his chances at the Confederate presidency. Most damning was the phrase "he got the jungle blood, and he know it too!" — hinting that Fauntroy knew he was part black and hid it. It's not made clear if Horace was telling the truth or not, but Fauntroy killed himself after losing the election. | |

One of the main themes of Caucasia. Birdie and Cole Lee are both half-black-half-white and at different times must attempt to pass for one or the other to fit in or blend into the surroundings. Cole has darker skin and kinky hair, so she has difficulty passing as anything but black, but Cole uses speech, mannerisms, and even modifications to the way she looks to try to pass as either. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: When Aang and friends are moving undercover through the Fire Nation in Book 3, Aang wears a bandana to hide the Air Nomad arrow tattoo on his forehead. While at first reluctant to do so ("I'm not going out if I can't wear my arrow proudly."), he soon realizes the necessity for discretion, particularly since Princess Azula was proclaimed to have killed him. He also adopts the name Kuzon, after the Fire Nation boy who was his best friend (prior to Aang becoming trapped in an iceberg for 100 years). | |

In Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, George Peavey has twin sons, Jasper, the light-skinned one, and Artis, the dark-skinned one. Jasper later joins a club in Birmingham whose members are so light their pictures have made it into the paper as those of a white organization. There's a chapter where his daughter goes shopping in a department store, pretending she's white, when her uncle Artis runs into her. She reacts in such a way, though she knows who he is, that the store staff believes he's harassing her. | |

Veep: Laura Montez's maiden name is the very British "Cunningham" and she was born in the very white state of Connecticut before moving to another very white state, Ohio as a child. After college, she married a man who was born in Mexico, took his surname, and moved to the majority Latino state of New Mexico. In order to be the Token Minority, she lets people assume she's a white-passing Latina. She often says her first name "Low-rah" like you would in Spanish rather than "Lore-a" like you would in English. | |

Law & Order: One episode has a black guy who spent his whole adult life passing for white. He's only found out after his second wife was killed when they considered taking back their darker-skinned baby they had given up for adoption. His first wife killed the second in order to maintain the illusion of an all-white family for her son, who was attending a very upper-class-white school with subtle social discrimination against non-whites. Or, so she said, until it was revealed that she'd never wanted to take custody of their son in the divorce, had to be bribed to do it, and she was really just a big ol' racist. | |

A subplot in The Help, by Kathryn Stockett, concerns a mixed-race girl who was given up for adoption by her mother because she looked white, and in 1950's Mississippi the social pressure on the mother was too much. The girl later returns to her birth mother in Jackson, where she deliberately passes for white at a Daughters of the American Revolution meeting, then lets everyone there know that she is, in fact, black (and indeed, a member of the Black Panthers). It does not end well. | |

One Piece: Portgas D. Ace's mother tried to hide the fact that he is the son of the Pirate King, Gold Roger, by postponing his birth until long after Roger's death, because the Marines were hunting pregnant women and young mothers for the possible chance that Roger may have a child. Only Ace himself, Garp (his adopted grandpa), Dadan and her bandit family (his adopted family), Luffy, and Sabo (his adopted brothers) knew about it for his childhood. When he went out to sea, however, the World Government found out about it through unknown means and broadcast the information at his execution. For unknown reasons, Law's parents advised him to keep the fact that he's a D. a secret from everyone. He only shared this fact once while he was a part of the Donquixote Pirates, which led to Corazon revealing that he's not mute just so that he could warn Law to get the hell away from Doflamingo, as the latter would kill him if he knew he was a D. by virtue of being a former World Noble, which consider the clan of D. to be their natural enemies. It's revealed in later chapters that Sanji was actually a prince of Germa Kingdom, son of the infamous conqueror Vinsmoke Judge. Sanji was told by Judge in the past to not reveal his heritage to anyone before Sanji exiled himself. The reason King wears a mask and outfit that completely hide his head and skin is to hide the fact that he's a Lunarian, which are highly sought after by the World Government to the point that a large sum of money is offered for any hints as to their whereabouts. Considering that the last time the World Government got their hands on him he was used as a test subject in Punk Hazard, where he was subjected to rather painful experiments before Kaido set him free while breaking himself out, he's completely justified. Kuma's father tried to hide his and his son's Buccaneer heritage upon his birth. Unfortunately, the World Government had spies planted in the hospital and quickly moved to arrest him and the rest of his family, as their very existence is considered to be a crime. |

Miss Martian is actually not a Green Martian. She is a White Martian who simply passes as a Green Martian. Martian Manhunter was the last Green Martian at the time (though the New 52 changed that). M'gann is a White Sheep amongst her Always Chaotic Evil race. | |

The Bible: In the Book of Esther, the titular heroine hides the fact that she is Jewish from the Persian court, for fear of persecution. She keeps this secret until a climactic dinner with the king and his chief adviser, to reveal that she and her people have been targeted for genocide by the royal orders and to beg him to stop it. | |

Splint: Although he was born in Gondor and the majority of his family are from there, one of Cadoc's grandmothers was actually a Dunlending woman, although he doesn't usually make this common knowledge due to the general negative opinion of the Dunlendings; some people are quite surprised to learn this about him. | |

In Show Boat. Steve is white, and his wife Julie is mixed-race, passing for white (their marriage was a crime in the South at the time). When someone tips the local sheriff off and he comes to arrest them, Steve quickly cuts Julie's hand and swallows her blood; when the sheriff arrives, he asks, "You wouldn't call a man a white man that's got Negro blood in him, would you?" He swears to having that blood in him (and thus, he pretends to be passing for white); the two are able to leave the boat, and the South, in peace. | |

Nella Larsen's 1929 novel Passing is entirely about examining this phenomenon — it contains three "black" women, one who has basically switched to a white identity by continuously passing, one that can pass, but doesn't, and one who passes occasionally out of convenience. It does not work out well for the first two in the end. | |

Young Justice (2010): Miss Martian is a White Martian, just like in the comics, however, her reason for hiding it is different. It's instead written like a more traditional example of this trope. In this verse, White Martians and Green Martians co-exist, however White Martians suffer Fantastic Racism back on Mars. M'gann is half-White and half-Green, though physically she looks like a White Martian. | |

The Beginning After the End: It is eventually revealed that Director Goodsky is in fact a former Alacryan spy who turned against her people and sided with Dicathen. Given how the Dicathians would not have taken the reveal of who she used to be very kindly, Goodsky hid her background from everyone, even the Council themselves. This often forced her to handle pressing matters, namely other Alacryan spies and assassins, completely on her own while keeping everyone else Locked Out of the Loop, which only intensifies as the Alacryans get ready to invade Dicathen. In Volumes 8 and 9, Arthur ends up living among the Alacryans, the mortal servants of the Vritra who had invaded and conquered his homeland of Dicathen. Given how he has no way to return home to Dicathen and got De-powered following the end of the war, he is forced to go among them under the name of his past life, Grey, in the process hiding his identity as a Dicathian (and one of the Lances who stood against them during their invasion) from them. In the latter volume, he even ends up in Alacrya itself. During his time as Grey, the only person who is aware of his true identity is none other the Scythe Seris Vritra, who becomes his Anonymous Benefactor due to her interest in him during the war. In Volume 11, Arthur and the resurrected Sylvie return from the Hearth accompanied by the titan asura Wren and the djinn/phoenix hybrid Chul. In the two months Arthur spent in the aether realm trying to resurrect Sylvie, Kezess sent down his forces to occupy Dicathen under the pretext of protection against the Vritra, which forces the latter two to hide their identities. Wren is a fugitive from Epheotus due to being an associate of the late Defector from Decadence Aldir. Chul on the other hand would have a target placed on his back by Kezess as his dual heritage is tied to two groups that Kezess would have ordered exterminated on sight; Kezess committed genocide upon the djinn in the distant past, and when the Asclepius Clan of phoenixes opposed him for that atrocity he had them exiled from Epheotus. |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Claude von Riegan is half Almyran, but due to cultural and racial prejudice he has to hide it especially since he is the future head of one of the three houses of Fodlan. He only opens up about his racial identity to Byleth, Petra, Balthus, and his fellow Almyran Cyril, and even then he still hides the fact that he is not just Almyran but also Almyran royalty. Seteth and Flayn are part of a dragon-like race called the Nabataeans, but hide this due to certain villainous groups namely, "those who slither in the dark" seeking their blood for its magical properties. To keep up the ruse, Seteth pretends to be Flayn's older brother, when he's actually her father. |

Cold Case: One episode dealt with the murder of a pale-skinned Negro who had been passing as a white in the 1950s. Another episode had an aversion with a black female victim from the early 1930s or so, whose secret white lover tried in vain to get her to pass for white so they could run away together. The actress was clearly black but camera effects lightened her complexion. "Colors" featured an African American baseball player (the victim) and his passing-as-white girlfriend. |
