英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The changing of the race of a character, protagonist, etc., in a work of art, literature, etc.
    — Characters who are ethnic minorities in original works are recast as Caucasians in adaptations so frequently that the phenomenon has its own nickname: it’s called a race lift.
动词 v.
  1. To change the race of a fictional character.
    — The movie industry has supposedly cleaned up this particularly shameful act, but it has been replaced by a subtler form of race-lifting: rather than hiring actors of the same ethnicity to play non-Caucasian characters, Hollywood often simply changes the ethnicity of the characters themselves. Instead of hiring a black actor to play Othello, you just make Othello white.
