This term is a play on the terms, 'Blackfishing' and 'Catfishing', but strictly for 'Exoticals'. To copy, imitate or emulate the physical looks, features and/or traits associated with Exoticals (whether that be Dark-Skinned Exoticals, Brown-Skinned Exoticals, or Light-Skinned Exoticals);
It is typically done by unambiguous people or non-Exotical people (of all races) as a way to 'copy' Exotical features, and their methods may include the following:
- darkening their skin tone/lightening their skin tone;
- perming their hair/relaxing their hair/brushing their hair to get waves;
- getting nose jobs/lip fillers/botox/any facial beauty enhancements to look more 'exotic';
- dyeing their hair blonde/brown/red/jet black/getting highlights;
- wearing fake freckles/moles/beauty marks;
- wearing weaves/extensions/wigs that are different to their natural hair texture or curl pattern;
- changing their eye colour/wearing contact lenses that are a different colour to their natural eye colour.
