* ''Series/ThePractice'': In "The Lonely People" a racist who murdered a Black man was revealed to be half Black himself, with the man he says order it being his father (who preaches interracial relationships are forbidden). He was light enough to pass for White, so no one suspected.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', while Booker [=DeWitt=] passes off as a Caucasian man well-enough, there are a few hints that he has at least one Native American ancestor and is capable of speaking Sioux. The significance of this is [[spoiler:foreshadowing that he and Comstock [[AlternateSelf are the same person]] -- Comstock claims that during the Wounded Knee Massacre (back before he became born-again and assumed [[DarkMessiah his current name and identity]]), he was accused of having Native American blood, [[IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten which he "disproved" by way of setting fire to teepees]]. Retroactively adding these events to [[TheAtoner our Booker's backstory]] would explain ''a lot'' of [[BeAllMySinsRemembered why he feels he's so beyond redemption]].]]

Images are meant to be visual aids to understand the tropes. They shouldn't rely on the reader being familiar with the work from which the image is taken. For the same reason, additional information about the characters appearing in the image is usually irrelevant and doesn't belong in image captions.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', Luz is half Dominican, and per WordOfGod, identifies as Afro-Latino[[note]] Most people in the UsefulNotes/DominicanRepublic have a mix of African, Indigenous, and European ancestry, making this something of a double example[[/note]], that being her mother's side.
