Humanizations likely don't count because the original characters don't have races to lift


* This tends to crop up in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fandom whenever fan artists draw humanized versions of the cast. Controversy rages over whether their skin color/ethnicity should be derived from their visual designs, their personalities, or whether the artist can draw them however they want. The only thing even remotely approaching canon on the matter is that ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' went with AmazingTechnicolorPopulation for their human versions.
* Given their shaky reputation, it's unsurprising that there's plenty of controversy in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fandom about what race the Human!Gems should be. The most commonly debated include Peridot (who's usualy portrayed as Middle Eastern, but also tends to be Asian or Caucasian), Jasper (who generally tends to be Hispanic, Polynesian, or African), and Pearl (Indian or Caucasian), conversely, the only ones who have a consensus are Amethyst (Latina/Mestiza), Rose (Caucasian), and Garnet (African).

* Similarly, this tends to crop up in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fandom whenever fan artists draw humanized versions of the cast. Controversy rages over whether their skin color/ethnicity should be derived from their visual designs, their personalities, or whether the artist can draw them however they want. The only thing even remotely approaching canon on the matter is that ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' went with AmazingTechnicolorPopulation for their human versions.

* Given their shaky reputation, it's unsurprising that there's plenty of controversy in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fandom about what race the Human!Gems should be. The most commonly debated include Peridot (who's as Middle Eastern, but also tends to be Asian or Caucasian), and Jasper (who generally tends to be Hispanic, Polynesian, or African), but there not the only ones.

** Same thing with his mother, the Virgin Mary. Not only is she portrayed as being multiple races (depending on the congregation), but she ''always'' conforms to the then-current ideals of feminine beauty in that culture, presumably because BeautyEqualsGoodness.

Madame Dorothea cannot be an example of a Race Lift, since she had no specified race in the original work being adapted—i.e., there was nothing to change.


* Madame Dorothea's race was unmentioned in ''Literature/{{City of Bones|2007}}'', but was played black actress Creator/CCHPounder in ''Film/TheMortalInstrumentsCityOfBones''.

Rewording a few examples


* Carlos Ezquerra originally designed ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' to be hispanic; other artists drew him as either white or black in early issues. Since these issues were black and white, nobody noticed. After the series began appearing in color, Dredd was consistently drawn as a white man.

* There's some controversy in the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' fandom regarding how to portray Blaine in fanfiction since his race has never been mentioned in {{canon}}. Some fans think that since Creator/DarrenCriss, who plays Blaine, is half-Filipino and nothing has been said to the contrary, one should assume that Blaine is too and write him accordingly to avoid UnfortunateImplications. Others think that since Blaine hasn't been expressively stated to be biracial, ArtisticLicense dictates it's fine to portray him however you want, whether that be biracial, Filipino, or Caucasian.

* Oliver Stone's ''World Trade Center'' includes, among other real life people, a minor character based mostly off a real man who happened to be black. Unfortunately, when they were doing research, no one in the production thought to check this man's race, and they cast a white actor. After the movie came out they were informed about it, and Stone apologized.
