* {{Defied|Trope}} for ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' -- initially, Xu Xialing had red extensions beneath her black hair, but partway through filming, actress Meng'er Zhang caught wind of a Teen Vogue article criticizing the "rebellious Asian girl with a hair streak" trope, then requested to henceforth simply go with her natural black hair. Production agreed to it, and scenes where they filmed her with red highlights were edited with VFX.

!Ethnic Hair Color Stereotypes

In fiction hair colors are often used to easily identify a character. They're usually meant to identify personality traits - such as the FieryRedhead or BrainyBrunette - however hair colors being used to distinguish a characters ethnic background are not uncommon.

Common ethnic hair stereotypes include the hair streak in East Asian characters, the blonde Northern, Western, or Eastern European, the brown, dark, or black haired Italian, the Jewish redhead, and red-headed Scottish and Irish people.

PhenotypeStereotype applies to Japanese media where European or North American characters are blondes, while LatinoIsBrown usually goes hand-in-hand with latinos having dark or black hair colors. PeopleOfHairColor is a more fantastical take inspired by this.
