This is something when someone who is non-Mediterranean trying to do what Rachel Dozal or the actor who played Charlie Chan did when they were trying to mimic someone who is either Greek, Portuguese, Spaniard or Italian descent. This is the worst kind equal to the term blackface, it's more common than one thinks when even in audio when they try to get someone to sound Italian when they don't have the last name or dialect. This one is the worst thing to call an Italian who is White Bread Wop. They don't even want to acknowledge they are Latin Europe ancestry.
This is an uncommon one but the blog entry that addressed race liar Rachel Dozal asked the question, "How does one who is not Latin Europe ethnic pass off as Mediterranean Europe descent? " The practice known as Whitewashing Hollywood is known to have non-ethnic actors playing ethnic rolls -- Yellowface, Blackface, Brownface and olivefacing. Olive Face is mimicking the olive complexion of South Italy.
