* In ''[[Me Myself and Irene]]'', Jim Carrey's character Charlie Bailygates goes into denial when his wife gives birth to black triplets. Only gets more funny as the boys grow up and becoming stereotypical (albeit genius) big, black men. And he's just a scrawny white dude. Nonetheless he and his "sons" love each other dearly.

* Done in ''The Brothers Solomon'' where we are led to believe that one of the brother's sperm was used to impregnate the surrogate mother but as it turns out the baby was actually her black boyfriend's, but they were so clueless they didn't care.

* In ''Angelitos Negros'', an old Mexican movie, a white couple has a little girl... and she looks black. I don't remember the details very well, but the wife accuses the husband of being of black ancestry and is going to leave but... cue revelation. The black woman whom she thought to be here nanny was in fact her mother. After lots of melodrama the woman realizes what a dick she has been the whole film to her family and they all have a happy ending.

* ''[[The Naked Gun]] 33 1/3'' had this at the very end of the movie, where Frank's wife gives birth to a black baby...or so it appears. As Frank is chasing his black partner Nordburg through the hospital, it turns out they were in the wrong delivery room, and the chief comes out of a separate room with Frank's actual wife and child (But judging from Nordburg's reaction, it seems they had an affair anyway. [[Where Da White Women At?|Cue OJ Simpson joke]])
