* ''Fanfic/BequeathedFromPaleEstates'': Just as in canon, Cersei's children. However, the person who reveals this isn't Stannis Baratheon (who is dead thanks to ForWantOfANail), but OriginalCharacter Gwyn Parren. [[spoiler:Gwyn knows this because House Parren is directly descended from the youngest son of Orys Baratheon. Every single one of his male descendants has intermarried with the Lannisters (either of Casterly Rock or Lannisport), and every single one of the progeny of those unions was of black hair and blue eyes like the Baratheons, until Gwyn herself was born (and that was after ''ten generations'' of Lannister marriages, meaning she has more Lannister blood in her than the Lannisters themselves do). Even then, her full figure and other features clearly denote her of Baratheon descent. It's through her own family history, complete with a family song that sheds light on this, that Gwyn realizes that Cersei's "trueborn" children cannot be Robert's]].

* ''Fanfic/RWBYScars'': Ruby and Yang are the daughters of Taiyang through different mothers. Yang takes after their blond father, but Ruby is black and red-haired. It's assumed she just [[StrongFamilyResemblance really takes after her mother]]. In this case, [[spoiler:she really isn't Taiyang's. She's the biological daughter of her HonoraryUncle, Qrow. Tai knows that he's not the father, because Qrow and Summer were a couple that broke up, but no one else outside the trio (and Qrow's sister/Yang's mother Raven) know about the FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo]].

* Subverted in the ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' one-shot ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12739187/1/To-Claim-a-Rose To Claim a Rose]]''. Ruby's half-sister Yang looks like their dad, but Ruby is black-haired rather than blond. Kids at school tease Ruby over being one of these, with her black-haired (non-biological) uncle being her alleged father. However, it turns out Ruby just takes after her mother Summer. Qrow did love Summer, but she only had eyes for Taiyang.

* Inverted in ''Film/SchoolDance''. A Black prisoner's wife comes to visit him in prison with a very obviously white baby in tow who she insists is his. This is despite the fact that: first, he's been in prison for sixteen years and they obviously haven't had sex in that time; and second the baby very strongly resembles a white guard at the prison, complete with the same haircut and style of glasses.

* Parodied in ''Film/ScaryMovie4'', where Brenda gets with the Amish guy from not-''Film/TheVillage'', and in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, is shown giving birth to a baby that is very obviously sired by [[spoiler:[[Franchise/{{Saw}} not-Jigsaw]]]].

* ''Series/InspectorGeorgeGently'': Zigzagged in "Gently in the Blood"; the VictimOfTheWeek is a single mother with a dark-skinned baby, whose parents and whose long-time boyfriend both abandoned her when she gave birth to the boy, despite her insistence on having been faithful to her boyfriend. Attempting to ascertain the identity of the father forms a major part of the investigation. It ultimately turns out that the baby's father really ''was'' her boyfriend; he was actually a half-Arab who was born with white features, and whose mother was killed by a firebomb sent by racist neighbors when he was a little baby. This caused him to be taken in by his only slightly less racist aunt, who brought him up actively lying about his father's true ethnicity, hoping that he would have an easier life if he could successfully believe himself to be white as well as pass as it.

* After a six month TimeSkip following his fall from grace, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevalier_de_Saint-Georges Joseph Bologne]] of ''Chevalier'' is shocked to encounter his ex-lover and see that she's pregnant. He bluntly asks her if he or her husband is the father, and although she insists it's the latter, it's clear that she doesn't know and is terrified of this trope--he's mixed-race. Later, a mutual friend tells him that the baby was indeed dark-skinned... and that her enraged husband ''killed it''.
* In ''Film/Cinderella1997'', a white King (played by Creator/VictorGarber) and his queen Constantina (played by Creator/WhoopiGoldberg) manage to have Prince Christopher, who is... Asian! To be fair, this was the result of ColorblindCasting, but it's still somewhat odd.

* In ''The Fortune Of The Winczlavs'' (prequel to ''ComicBook/LargoWinch''), Sandy coerces her rich (and white) ex-boyfriend Tom Winch into marrying him by announcing [[TheBabyTrap she's pregnant with his baby]]. Unfortunately for her, she eventually gives birth to a black baby. Far from being upset over it, Tom immediatly flirts with the hospital's receptionist and then files for divorce.

* A variation: "Embarrassment" by Music/{{Madness}} is, according to WordOfGod, about racist '''parents''' being angry that their daughter has had a mixed-race baby.

-->'''Sal:''' Just so you know, sometimes when babies come this early, they are black.

* Happened on ''Series/ModernFamily'' when Cam and Mitch were debating having a second child via surrogacy but didn't want one father to be more connected to the child than the other. They consider mixing the sample based on a suggestion from one of their friends but reject it when they see the resulting child is Mexican (though we don't know the race of the biological mother, so her genes could obviously be throwing off the results, and the child's fathers don't seem to care either way). Interestingly enough, Cam and Mitch are both white, so they shouldn't be too concerned about their child's features revealing paternity. But they ultimately decide that they have enough of a connection with their adopted daughter Lily that they don't need to conceive a child of their own to feel a connection.

* The song by Mecano ''Hijo de la Luna'' tells the sad story of a Gypsy woman who prays to the moon for a husband. The moon says she will have a Gypsy husband, but that she must sacrifice her firstborn child to the moon. When the child is born, it is entirely white, like an albino - not cinnamon-colored like either of its parents. The father thinks he has been tricked, and stabs his wife to death, and abandons the baby on the hillside. [[TheChessmaster The moon happily adopts the baby.]]

* ''Literature/{{Parzival}}'' has a half-brother from a previous marriage when his own father took a dark-skinned Moor as a wife in Spain. Demonstrating just how [[ArtisticLicenseBiology shockingly little provincial Europeans knew about genetics]] when interacting with people from other races... Feirefiz has checkerboard-colored skin, with alternating light and dark patches. (Ironically, such things ''have'' been known to happen in real life, with mosaicism and genes that are only partially expressed, but they are extremely rare, and in any case, it is clear that these northern Europeans who had rarely seen a Moor except on the battlefield ''honestly believed'' that this would be the result of a mixed coupling).

* ''Anime/VoltesV'': [[spoiler: When Prince Gohl was born, his father became outraged because the baby lacked physical features he desired[[note]]Horns. The [[FantasticCasteSystem Boazanian Caste System]] dictates that those with horns are allowed to be part of the aristocratic nobility and those without horns are meant to be slaves. For the record, the kid is his, but he declares that as a member of the royal family, a Hornless child would bring him shame.[[/note]] - DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything He also attempts to commit fillicide later, but is stopped his wife, the doctor and his messenger. They all agree to then raise him with prosthetic horns.]]

* A commercial for New Castle Brown Ale features an Indian family coming clean with their white son that he was never part of said family, before offering the drink as consolation.

** ''Literature/FireAndBlood'': Rhaenyra Targaryen and her first husband Laenor Velaryon both had the Valyrian phenotype: fair skin, platinum blonde hair, aquiline features, and purple eyes. All three of the sons Rhaenyra bore during their marriage turned out brunet, brown-eyed, and pug-faced, which fueled rumors that they were fathered by Rhaenyra's sworn shield Harwin Strong. Laenor was also suggested to be homosexual, so he wasn't doing much fathering. However this is a case where the legal father of the boys, Laenor, didn't care one whit and he loved them anyway. The only person who was upset about it was Rhaenyra's stepmother, Queen Consort Alicent Hightower.

** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's husband Ser Laenor Velaryon is half-black and, like her, has the trademark Valyrian white hair. Their three sons are all fair and brunet.[[note]]Meanwhile, the children of Laenor's sister Laena with Rhaenyra's uncle Daemon, a similar phenotypic match, are both brown-skinned and white-haired.[[/note]] Rhaenyra's sons were actually fathered by Harwin Strong, a knight frequently seen in her company, and the court goes wild with these rumors. This further worsens the tension between Rhaenyra and her stepmother Alicent, who views Rhaenyra's open flaunting of her infidelity as an insult and a danger to the stability of the realm. Rhaenyra later clarifies that she and Laenor did give it the old college try a few times, but since he's gay, it wasn't very successful. However, Rhaenyra was the crown princess of the Seven Kingdoms and still needed heirs. For his part, Laenor publicly claimed the boys as his sons and was an affectionate father figure to them. Given Laenor's sexuality and Rhaenyra's knowledge and acceptance of it, they had agreed at the onset of their engagement that both of them would be able to have their own paramours.

*** King Robert Baratheon, his brothers, his forefathers, and even his bastard children all have dark hair. All three of his children by Cersei Lannister are blond, as they were fathered by [[{{Twincest}} Cersei's twin brother Jaime]]. [[OpenSecret Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms knows this]] but Robert, who died with his best friend [[LetThemDieHappy deciding to spare him the knowledge of it so he may die peacefully]].

*** In an extreme case of denial, Tywin spends three and a half seasons ignorant of the inverse implications (that ALL his grandchildren are blond, and not diverse as if Cersei was taking on multiple 'surrogate fathers'), until Cersei shouts it in his face.

* The Mexican ''Telenovela'' "El alma no tiene color,'' ("The Soul has no Color") a woman who was raised by a black nanny is forced to break up her boyfriend and marry the son of a wealthy businessman to save her father from financial ruin. After the wedding, she slowly falls in love with her husband and they conceive a child. Much drama ensues when she gives birth to a black daughter. [[spoiler:The nanny was the heroine's biological mother all along.]]

As these are sure to be {{Three Month Old Newborn}}s, expect the race to be completely obvious from birth, even though a black newborn's skin tone usually takes a while to darken.
