Allows white people to experience racism from the point of view of a black person while giving white audiences a LeadYouCanRelateTo. Critics say that this leads to the unfortunate implications that white people can only care about prejudice if the victim is white.

* The Arthur Miller novel ''Focus'' is about a gentile businessman who finds his fortunes turning around because he bought a new pair of glasses that everyone thinks make him ''look'' Jewish. While he slowly finds himself forced out of his job and ends up drifting into more Jewish circles, he's still privately outraged about the fact that he's being labeled as Jewish by default - that is, until he can no longer take the bigotry, deals with his own prejudices, and expresses solidarity with his new friends.

* ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' has a series of Vows and Oblations that mages can take on long term in order to reap Mana from their devotion. In addition to the usual vows of chastity, abstinence, and poverty, one vow involves a mage (usually a white cis dude) using Life magic to transform themselves into another race or gender, in order to experience the issues they go through on a daily basis. It's noted this practice has mostly fallen out of favor, though, because to younger mages, it feels like magical blackface.

* In ''ComicBook/SupermansGirlFriendLoisLane'', Lois notoriously changed race temporarily in a story entitled "I Am Curious (Black)". (The title references the film ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'').
* One ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'' storyline saw the title character Frank Castle turn black after experimental plastic surgery and subsequently hanging out with Franchise/MarvelUniverse black hero ComicBook/LukeCage.
* The entire concept behind the Black Bomber, a white racist with the power to transform into a black superhero. The idea was rejected for being too offensive but was eventually recycled-slash-mocked in Creator/{{Dwayne McDuffie}}'s [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]] run in the form of Black Power, a balding, overweight white guy who could transform into a tall, muscular, black superhero.
* When ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} visited New York during the ''Inferno'' saga, Meggan's empathic shapeshifting caused her to look like the people in her immediate area. She became black while passing a basketball court and joined in the game, enjoying herself greatly and helping her team win. Her rapid shapeshifting stabilized on this look for awhile and she wondered if it meant anything.
* Abe Jenkins, [[PoweredArmor MACH-(I-IV)]] of the ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' (and formerly the [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-villain]] Beetle), spent much of the original run of the series disguised as a black man after being legally-but-covertly released from prison.
* It's a well-known fact that ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen makes a disturbingly attractive woman when he dresses in drag to go undercover. When he does it in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}, though, don't be surprised if the [[AnAesop Aesops]] he learns are more along the lines of "it can be exhausting getting hit on constantly" than "the glass ceiling is unfair."
* The short-lived DC comic ''Xero'' revolved around a black hitman who disguised himself as a blonde white guy for his missions. Likewise, his arch nemesis was One, a white woman who disguised herself as an Asian man.
* The Franchise/{{Batman}} villain White Rabbit toys with this. In her civilian identity, she is a dark-skinned Indian woman with black hair and green eyes. Her White Rabbit form has a more Caucasian skin tone, white hair, and violet eyes.
