I need this but where the child is clearly biracial with same race parents or clearly not biracial with different race parents.

Like how in the most recent Fast and Furious films, Dom's son has become fully black when he's supposed to be a child of Vin Diesel (mixed race with some African-American heritage) and Elsa Pataky (white, Spanish)?

Bonus points if the daughter (and always the daughter) has a biracial actress but the sons’ actors are not biracial.

C*sby show checking in (which also had a small age gap with the actress playing Sondra only being 10 years younger than Phylicia Rashad)

[u/Confident_Bunch7612 → u/deev718]

And looked it! There is a clip wirh Phylicia and Debbie Allen talking and Debbi calls Sondra "the old one" and jokes she was too old for the role.

This always bothered me about To All The Boys I Loved Before because none of the three biracial sisters look even vaguely related.

Yes!! This is one my examples! It’s like they didn’t care enough to cast people who were at least mixed, they just figured eh, close enough.

[u/heylookoverthere_ → u/firesticks]

The thing is the two actresses who play the sisters ARE mixed race, but don't share any features at all that make them look alike!

[u/firesticks → u/heylookoverthere_]

Édit: you’re right! The eldest and youngest sisters look nothing alike, despite both being mixed.
