IK it's a common racist trope already but Edgar Rice Burroughs very notably likes doing the thing where he has his hero be super super tanned, to the point he describes him as having brown skin, because he wants the ""exotic"" appearance of a person of color, but then has to assure you over and over and over again that this guy is Totally A White Guy, You Can Tell By His Chin (and ect. ect.)
Looking at the cover of one of the John Carpenter books, I feel like he did it in that series(?) too.
Either Anne or Todd McCaffrey also did this. I remember one incident where they (I forget which one) literally said that the tanned white person had darker skin than the actual person of color :\
I don't know if this is a form of Black/brown face but I have noticed it happening a lot in ERB's writing of Tarzan.
