History FantasticRacism / Videogames

** Some characters also display Fantastic Racist tendencies; [[BigBad Hazama]] presses said BerserkButton when he meets Makoto in her Arcade and Story modes, [[{{Troll}} although he purposefully hits every character's]] BerserkButton [[{{Troll}} whenever and wherever he can]]. He also calls [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Rac]][[ElegantGothicLolita hel]] a "shitty vampire" and hates those "goddamn cats" from the [[CatFolk Kaka clan]]. [[BiggerBad Rel]][[MadScientist ius]] also invokes this [[spoiler:during his HannibalLecture as he subjects Makoto to MindRape in her ''Extend'' [[BadEnd Bad Ending]]]].

*** Speaking of Batarians... noone likes them. But they don't like anyone either and are the only race that practices slavery. They particularly hate humans, but at least that is somewhat justified by the humans expanding outside of Council Space into areas the Batarians claim as their own. And blowing up an entire star system.

** Perhaps the most hated race, managing to surpass humans and quarians, are the vorcha. No matter where you are, most races view them as nothing more than vermin.
*** Which is not helped by the position that evolution has left the vorcha in. A lifespan of twenty years, coupled with below average intelligence and the fact that vorcha are only spread around by stowing away on ships visiting their homeworld, has not given them many opportunities to improve their species' reputation.

** [[ElvesVsDwarves Elves and dwarves dislike each other]] due to differing philosophies of life and their placement on the MagicVersusScience meter (and magic and technology are actually opposed in this setting). While they're normally civil, the guards in Qintarra are very hostile towards dwarves. Elves and dwarves ''both'' dislike humans for their boundless ambition (which has caused no end of grief in the last several years), and orcs (because they're orcs), while elves treat half-elves with [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer disdain]]. Nobody has a particular problem with gnomes or halflings, and half-ogres are only discriminated against in subtle ways (because pissing off someone that big is [[TooDumbToLive a really dumb idea]]).

* A subversion in ''VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel''- having to recruit tribals from outlying settlements goes against their own ideals just on its own, but the epynomous organization also accepts ghouls and intelligent deathclaws into their ranks despite the objections from Simon Barnaky. After [[spoiler:he is captured and Dekker takes command]], super mutants and reavers are also allowed to join. Keep in mind, this straying away from the original ideals of the Brotherhood of Steel is done more out of necessity in most cases, as their own numbers without them are too few.
** Though the straying from the original ideals was probably helped along by the fact that that particular branch of the Brotherhood originated from a faction advocating increasing ties to the outside world and being more flexible with recruiting. They may not have intended to be quite ''that'' willing to take in recruits, but they already started out more willing to bend the rules even before they got into really desperate straits.

* Every single {{NPC}} in {{Ryzom}} displays this. There are four civilizations and two different factions, and everyone thinks that everyone else is an idiot.
* ''TheWitcher''; it's a major theme of the game. Both the humans and the non-humans (elves and dwarves) display this, which leads to armed groups like the religious fanatical Order of the Flaming Rose and the terroristic Scoia'tel to commit horrific atrocities against the other race. Geralt himself is also a target of the racism.
* Another Bioware game, NeverwinterNights, also pulls on this, more so in the first game than the second. In the first game, talking to common people on the streets would garner variable responses depending on your race or even ''class''. The only race not discriminated was (surprise surprise) Human, but even then, if you were a Sorcerer or Barbarian, expect some hatred. It isn't like that in the second game as much, but there is some racism taken for laughs (like Neeshka the Tiefling calling dwarves "squat, smelly drunks" and Kelgar the Dwarf calling Tieflings "backstabbers").
* Inphyy in ''NinetyNineNights'' has a problem with goblins. Other people fight them and their evil leader. She hunts down their women and children to the dismay of her comrades.
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': Raz's dad hates psychics because they [[SuperDrowningSkills cursed his whole family to die in water.]] [[spoiler:Or so Raz thinks; in actuality, Raz's dad is himself a psychic. Raz misinterpreted TrainingFromHell to help him control his powers as an attempt to work him to death.]]
* Several games in the ''Franchise/TalesSeries'' invoke this trope to varying degrees.
** Much of the plot of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' involves racism against half-elves on the part of humans and elves. Like the ''Teen Titans'' example above, the word "racism" itself is never actually used: the word "discrimination" is always used instead, even when it's just describing racial hatred rather than actual unfair treatment.
** Mind you, the ''modern'' people have a semi-legitimate reason to hate half-elves, since the majority of the half-elves in the game belong to the Desians, a faction representing TheDevil in the BigBad's [[PathOfInspiration made-up religion]] that subjugates each world in turn to encourage them to do the whole "world regeneration" thing. However, it is eventually revealed that half-elves were already hated before the BigBad set all this up.
** Also, although not much is made of it, there seems to be a level of distrust of people from [[{{Wutai}} Mizuho]].
** Ozette too, because they oppose the Church of Martel.
*** Which is ironic, as that's the place that acts most racist towards half-elves. Pretty much anyone you talk to in Ozette makes a remark about how much they hate half-elves, ''even the children.''
* There's also a degree of this in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', although it's less central to the plot. It's not surprising, because [[spoiler: ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' is implied to be set in the distant past of the same world as ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'']].
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'', the Inferian perception of Celestians is of warmongering, bloodthirsty monsters.
** A library book in Imen reveals that Celestians have only a slightly better view of the Inferians. In fact, it was the racist feelings of the Celestians that triggered most of the games events.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' has the Orerines (land dwellers) and the Ferines (sea dwellers).
** This trope comes front and center in ''Tales of Rebirth'' with the humans versus the Gajumas (beast people). As always, they share a mutual hatred for the halves: [[HalfHumanHybrids hybrids between the two]].
** And in the latter half of ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', society must learn to accept "Replicas," exact copies of humans, exploring the question of WhatMeasureIsANonHuman.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheTempest'' had this trope as its entire plot. The fandom was not amused.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence''. A good slice of humanity is gaining powers from their status as reincarnations, and the government is kidnapping them for research purposes. Bonus points: the reincarnatees were having a race war with ''each other'', which is bleeding into the awakened reincarnated humans. A real world war is being thrown into chaos because some of the soldiers have decided to fight the heaven war instead of the Earth war, and the divisions don't always match up.
* Half the point of the ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' series. In fact, "Ender" is a pejorative term by Earthlings referring to those born on Mars and the outer colonies. In turn, the Martians use it for those living on the outskirts of the solar system.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'', the main character Marche unknowingly refers to a bangaa (a race of reptilian humanoids) as a "lizard", which is soon revealed to be a form of ethnic slur against them. Though this is probably similar, if not equivalent, to someone calling you an 'ape' (Something that happens a few times to Humans in fiction, too) The lizard comment is used by some [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', and there are other indications of fantastic racism in that title, the most notable being a comment that "The Emperor is willing to overlook race for his more talented servants."
** Similarly in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', the Burmecians are referred to as 'rats' and 'rodents' as a racial slur by those attempting their genocide.
*** On the other side of the coin, friendly [=NPCs=] are often shown to be afraid of Vivi because he's a black mage, and most of their experience with black mages involves them destroying their cities.
*** Lastly, [[SubvertedTrope to the game's credit]], nobody even once raises an eyebrow or disrespects any members of the Qu race, despite them being universally depicted as food-obsessed, bumbling, baby-talking clown-looking things.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the stateless Al Bhed tend to be looked down on by regular humans, with the Church of Yevon being particularly harsh due to the Al Bhed violating Yevon's restrictions on the use of technology. Even Wakka is shown throughout the game to be distrustful of Al Bhed, though he becomes less so the further along the story gets.
** Used to hell and back in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''. Beastmen hate the player races, the player races hate Beastmen, Humes exploit [[strike:African-Americans]] [[strike:Native-Americans]] Galka, [[OurElvesAreBetter Elvaan]] are snooty to ''everyone'', and even the cutesy [[LittlePeople Tarutaru]] have performed ''genocide'' on walking, talking frogs. To top it all off, the {{Precursors}} hate everyone but them. If there's a solid theme to FFXI, it's FantasticRacism.
* A lot of the villains in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' have a habit of referring to Zidane & Kuja with terms like "simian," "monkey," etc.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', the Espers are the Other race that is being literally used by the humans. Terra's existence as a [[HalfHumanHybrid 'mixed' lineage child]] and the problems she has because of this are obviously her working through the 'racism.'
** The empire treats Espers as basically magic batteries, not even acknowledging them as living creatures. No other humans interact with espers. As a result Terra's half esper nature is never brought up beyond it giving her terrifying power. A better example is the Thamasa residents and their ancestors that were feared and driven away due to their magic potential.
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', after he goes insane, Sephiroth first believes that the humans betrayed "his" species, the Cetra, and develops a hostility bordering on vendetta towards them. After he finds out the truth (that what he was "cloned" from was ''not'' one of the Cetra, but [[EldritchAbomination something quite different]]), he just becomes completely evil without any particular prejudice.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' has this to some extent. Nearly the entire population of Cocoon have been raised in fear of invasion from the underworld of Gran Pulse. The depictions of Pulse as an uninhabitable and hostile wasteland are embedded into the minds of every Cocoon citizen, [[MetaphoricallyTrue even though there isn't any proof of this, nor is anyone allowed to prove or disprove these claims.]] Being branded a Pulse l'Cie is the equivalent of a death sentence--for the Pulse l'Cie, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans and everyone else in their vicinity suspected to be one.]] No matter what the Pulse l'Cie's alignment or Focus is, they are immediately generalized as an enemy of Cocoon, and the likelihood is that the Sanctum will do everything in their power to kill them before the end of their Focus. [[UnacceptableTargets On the other hand, being a Sanctum l'Cie is perfectly fine.]]
** The beliefs held by the inhabitants of Gran Pulse seem to be a mirror of this. To them, however, Cocoon is interpreted as more of a false utopia.
* The ninth and tenth ''FireEmblem'' games have the Beorc (basically normal humans) and Laguz ([[VoluntaryShapeshifting humanoid shapeshifters]]). Despite being created equally by the universe's goddess, they both tend to have a tremendous amount of contempt for the other, as well as for [[HalfHumanHybrid hybrids between the two]].
** And in the 7th game, there was Marquess Araphen's hatred for the nomadic people of Sacae, which includes our plucky heroine and his very own captain of the guard.
* Mostly averted in GameArts' ''{{Lunar}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Grandia}}'' series. Despite being populated with many different humanoid species, both series avoid this trope with a few exceptions.
** In ''VideoGame/LunarDragonSong'', the humans, beastmen and the Vile Tribe hate each other. [[ItGetsBetter Eventually the beastmen learn to accept humans]], and the Vile Tribe generally accept anyone who forsakes Althena and own darkness in the form of crystals as their own (near the end a few begin to question themselves).
** This is also the case in ''MagicSchoolLunar'', where the beastmen's hate of humans [[StarCrossedLovers stands in the way of a human and a beastgirl getting married]]. And the Vile Tribe essentially hate everybody, and vice versa.
** Vile Tribe versus humans also comes up in ''Silver Star Story''. ''Eternal Blue'' might be the only game in the series that doesn't have some Fantastic Racism against the Vile Tribe, and that's only if you don't count the ''Childhood's End'' tie-in manga...

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' is replete with the speciesism the page quote describes. Salarians and krogans are on bad terms, as the latter are a bit miffed about the DepopulationBomb that's rendered their species impotent and dying. Turians and humans have strained relations, since FirstContact came in the form of [[ColonyDrop the turians bombing a human colony from orbit]], all because the humans didn't understand that they were breaking intergalactic law by activating a dormant mass relay. While the turians believe they were right in upholding the law from a bunch of upstart newcomers, humans are still miffed that the turians never even bothered to inform them it was against the law before they started shooting. The batarians outright ''hate'' humans due to them encroaching on territory the batarians themselves want to develop for their own ends. Humans don't particularly like batarians for the latter's practice of slavery and their attacks on human colonies. Most of the alien species in general are sore toward humans due to their surprising expansionism, unprecedented growth, and their disproportionately powerful role in galactic politics. Humans themselves have formed extremist groups (Cerberus) and political parties (Terra Firma) encouraging something similar and reinforcing the idea they're trying to take over the Galaxy. And ''everyone'' ostracises the quarians for creating the geth, blaming them for the RobotWar that ''only'' affected their race and left the quarians without a homeworld, with most planets actively refusing to even let their Migrant Fleet enter their space.
** This does get a lot of healing if you [[spoiler: save the ''Destiny Ascension'' and its ten thousand passengers]] at the end of the first game and carry that save file into the second. Bonus points if you put [[spoiler: Anderson on the council]], at least if you want [[spoiler: your Spectre status]] back.
** Not to mention the turian representative on the council [[spoiler: will call out you out for committing genocide if you kill the rachni queen... and call you a fool if you spare it, exclaiming they will be lucky if the rachni don't overrun the galaxy now]].
*** He is at least consistent; his remarks on the player's handling of the Zhu's Hope situation on Feros are similarly negative regardless of whether Shepard [[spoiler:managed to save the Thorian-controlled colonists or simply killed them all]].
** The game also features a clever inversion of expected prejudices. The all-female asari species can reproduce with any other species. If you discuss this with your asari teammate, she'll explain that union between two asari is looked down upon as nothing has been gained. Indeed, she herself suffers under the stigma of being a *shudder* "pureblood."
*** The second game adds some justification to this prejudice, as apparently [[spoiler: the Ardat-Yakshi (asari who inflict DeathBySex) are dramatically more likely to be born from a union of with a pureblood, so societal prejudice against these kinds of unions is in many ways an overt attempt to stop these creatures from being born. [[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Codex/Aliens:_Council_Races#Asari:_Ardat-Yakshi Unfortunately, about one of every 100 asari is to some degree an Ardat-Yakshi.]]]]
*** In the third game we actually get to see one of the monasteries where Ardat-Yakshi are housed away from society, and Liara, an asari, talks about the Ardat-Yakshi in what would be a very dehumanizing way if they weren't, well, asari. The asari believe the condition prevents sufferers from developing empathy, but most Ardat-Yakshi are not actually monstrous - those who are are just very high profile. Then again, some squad mates point out that other races might have simply killed their equivalents to Ardat-Yakshi.
** Ashley also shows what looks like outward hints of fantastic racism by not trusting the alien team members at first, though a lot of her concerns ''are'' justified by the fact that she is pretty much in charge of operational security on the ''Normandy'', and the alien crewmembers include a turian (whose species have had a violent history with humanity), a self-admitted quarian drifter, the asari daughter of the BigBad's second in command, and a krogan mercenary - pretty much the most untrustworthy thing in the galaxy. Her issues stem from her belief that the other races [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness will abandon Earth when it needs help]]. Oddly enough however, she also strongly dislikes Terra Firma and Cerberus for being ''too'' hostile towards alien races.
*** Turns out she was ''right'' about worrying about alien nationals having full access to the ''Normandy'', as in the third game, the Quarian delegation shows up with a ''very'' familiar looking stealth-drive, implying that Tali copied the idea.
*** On the other hand, the inner workings are fairly straightforward (the artificial gravity equivalent of a carrot tied to a stick, crossed with a modification to the heat transfer system). The only real issue is that it makes the ''Normandy'' as expensive as several cruisers.
** Then there's the Quarians: ''No one likes them''. The labor unions hate them because they're scabs, the council hates them because they made the Geth, and all the other aliens see them as beggars and thieves, not helped by their habit of strip-mining planets as the Migrant Fleet travels. In fact, they dump their criminals on civilized planets as they move because they lack the resources to support a prison population.
** Tali's loyalty quest in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' revolves around a debate [[SpaceJews that resembles post-WWII debates about Israel]]: Whether the Quarians should maintain the status quo wandering around the galaxy, retake their homeworld from the Geth by force, re-enslave the Geth or colonize some other planet.
** Notably, {{AI}}s suffer extensively more so than even the Quarians. Roughly half of the {{AI}}s one encounters in the game have justified reasons for being misguided antagonists.
*** The other half aren't even antagonists - their inability to communicate means they can't even protest when people kill them. The best they can do is self-defense which, naturally to many in the setting, looks like an AI gone rogue.
*** Though part of the problem with AIs according to the backstory, even after the war with the Quarians the Geth completely shut themselves off from the rest of the galaxy, and any ship sent to make contact with them was destroyed, along with any organics who entered their region of space for any reason, cementing their status as a threat. At the time the game takes place, most of the Geth would like to make peace with the rest of the galaxy. But the prejudice against them is only half of the problem: they don't really understand organics either, and they know they need to be cautious until they can find some common ground.
*** The prejudice against the geth is so severe that [[spoiler:if you wipe them out in the third game]], only EDI (herself a synthetic), Tali and Liara are not fully pleased with it.
** There's also some of this toward the Krogan by the other Citadel species, who dropped the genophage on them during the war, and once the war was won they were in no particular hurry to cure it, leading to the Krogan's slow depopulation and extinction.
*** Actually, if you believe what [[spoiler: Mordin]] says, the genophage leaves the krogan population at a finely calculated equilibrium. The krogan evolved on a DeathWorld, and after their uplifting by the salarians their explosive birthrate rapidly lead to overpopulation and aggressive expansion. This started a galactic war that the genophage ended. Unfortunately, their current situation is not being helped by the fact that most krogan (who, comparing to the old birthrates, thinks they're doomed) become mercenaries and die (although less often than most other species would, being really hard to kill by comparison).
** Perhaps the most hated race, managing to surpass humans and quarians, are the vorcha. No matter where you are, most races view them as nothing more than vermin.
*** Which is not helped by the position that evolution has left the vorcha in. A lifespan of twenty years, coupled with below average intelligence and the fact that vorcha are only spread around by stowing away on ships visiting their homeworld, has not given them many opportunities to improve their species' reputation.
** [[MemeticMutation You humans are all racist!]]
*** Speaking of Batarians... noone likes them. But they don't like anyone either and are the only race that practices slavery. They particularly hate humans, but at least that is somewhat justified by the humans expanding outside of Council Space into areas the Batarians claim as their own. And blowing up an entire star system.
** The Reapers see ''all organic life'' as a mistake that they need to periodically correct.
** From ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' we have Javik, [[spoiler: a ''Prothean'' who's been in stasis for 50,000 years. His FantasticRacism towards the "Primitives" of this Cycle is a prevalent aspect of his character, often coming across as dismissive of various races, bemoaning their lack of potential from what the Protheans had expected from them and occasionally indulges in light-hearted mockery. Naturally this characteristic has earned him EnsembleDarkHorse status among the Fandom and the sobriquet of [[FanNickname "The Oldest Troll in the Galaxy"]].]]
** [[BigBad Saren]] in ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' hates humans more intensely than probably anyone else in the galaxy, up to and including sabotaging then-Lieutenant Anderson's attempt at qualifying as a Spectre. According to the novel ''Literature/MassEffectRevelation'', his FreudianExcuse is that his brother was killed in the First Contact War.
* This is part of the reason for the hostile relations between Horde and Alliance in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' after they formed an alliance against the demons in ''WarcraftIII''. There are other instances of this all over the place in the backstory novels. For instance, in the first war against the demons, the night elf nobles initially refuse to accept the help of other races (at that time, dwarves, the ursine furbolg and the tauren), and the demons manipulate the orcs into fighting the draenei by fueling the mistrust.
** And [[TheNeidermeyer Grand Marshal Garithos]] from the ''Frozen Throne'' expansion, probably the biggest [[FantasticRacism fantastic racist]] in the series. His comeuppance was exquisitely satisfying because of it.
** ''WorldOfWarcraft'', debatably, makes a ''lot'' of money off of keeping people interested in the 'us vs. them' mentality and the racist overtones between the orcs and the humans and their respective allies. When these mentalities were toned down in the Burning Crusade expansion, players [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks complained]]. Cue a 180' turn in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, where fueling said racism [[WildMassGuessing seems]] to be a part of the BigBad's EvilPlan.
** In an interesting take on this trope, you'll find plenty of "racism" in the player base against gnomes.
** The Horde counterpart is the [[TheFairFolk Blood Elves]], who are the only [[{{Bishounen}} "pretty"]] race among the Horde. And considering that the Blood Elves were added in the Burning Crusade expansion, SuffersNewbiesPoorly is probably a contributing factor. No such FreudianExcuse is available for gnome haters.
** Some built-in emotes are racist. This is a /silly from human males: "So, an orc walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says 'Hey, where'd you get that?' The parrot says Durotar. They've got them all over the place!'" And this from undead males: "I can't stand the smell of Orcs."
** The Forsaken have a general contempt for all races other than their own, even the Tauren who have a genuine desire to cure their undead state. They start off as Neutral with all other Horde races, whereas others start at Friendly. The Forsaken have a particular hatred for humans as a result of their forced conversion and the disgust of their former friends and family to their undead states.
*** The most obvious example of the hatred between family members was a set of now removed quests in Alterac Valley. Two brothers, one Human and one Forsaken, sent players to ''kill their own brother''.
** A lot of the Blood Elves' emotes are racist against ''their own faction:'' "We're allied with the Tauren? Fantastic! We'll have steak every night!" and that really long one that the female blood elves have about the undead.
** The Blood Elves get a truly ridiculous amount of hate. How ridiculous? The High Elves of Dalaran ''rebelled'' when Rhonin ''considered'' allowing Blood Elves back into the Kirin Tor. Not actually allowing them to return, but ''considering it''. To be fair, High Elves and Blood Elves were once the same race. But ~10% of the remaining High Elves didn't agree with Kael'Thas and didn't become Blood Elves and instead stayed loyal to the Alliance. The high elves consider the Blood Elves traitors and refuse to have anything to do with them to the point where no high elf would ever wear red because it's the color of Blood Elves.
** Varian Wrynn does not like orcs very much.
*** In the novel ''Wolfheart'', he also expresses contempt for the [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent worgen]]. However, in a bit of a subversion, it's not the worgen he has contempt for, it's the fact that all the worgen he knows are Gilneans, who went into isolation following the Second War and did nothing as Alliance kingdoms were being destroyed by the Scourge and the demons. By the end of the novel, his opinion of Gilneans radically improves, especially after he personally leads them to turn the tide in a major orc offensive.
** ''Cataclysm'' will have Garrosh kicking almost all of the other Horde races out of Orgrimmar. It's turned into an "Orcs Only" town.
*** Its actually worse than that: he allows trolls, goblins and tauren to live in the city, but in crappy slums on the outskirts. The insult is not lost on those affected.
*** At one point, Garrosh tells Vol'jin, the much more experienced leader of the trolls and somebody who, before Thrall left, was in a higher position than Garrosh, to return to his slum. Thrall must have been slipped some crazy drugs or something to put Garrosh in charge.
** In Northrend, there are very few Draenei are among the Alliance forces; a recurring discussion in Valliance Keep reveals that most of the Alliance forces are from people native to Northrend, who up until now have never seen a Draenei, and are suspicious of them. Harbinger Vurenn suspects the Cult of the Damned is deliberately stoking this to weaken the Alliance forces.
** The Mogu in ''Mists of Pandaria'' believe that all other races exist solely to act as slaves to the Mogu.
* The background lore in ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series makes heavy use of this trope. The most obvious examples? The Bretons and [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orcs]] hate each other, the Nords and Dark Elves hate each other due to war, the Argonians and Dark Elves ''loathe'' each other due to slave raids and slavery by the latter, and the Khajiit and Wood Elves regard each other with hatred, both of them raiding each other's homeland. The High Elves and Dark Elves, in particular, are both racist against all other races; ironically, the Redguards,(who are to all extent Blacks) are treated in a pretty much neutral light, possibly due to the fact that they only arrived recently compared to the long histories between the other races.
** To its credit, the series tends to portray these tensions as somewhat-realistic social and cultural problems, rather than issues arising solely from inherent racial characteristics. For instance, it's less "dark elves are racists" and more "Morrowind is insular and xenophobic".
** Even if you play a Dunmer in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', you're still considered an outlander. It's not a question of race so much as culture. And the Ashlanders consider ''all other Dunmer'' as outlanders.
** This gets even worse in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' when you hear rumours of a countess interested in species 'purity' and torturing Argonians, then find a torture chamber in their castle.
** Speaking of ''Oblivion'', in the Shivering Isles expansion pack, one NPC is terrified of cats, he has a pet dog. And he has the unfortunate problem of a Khajiit that happens to really like his dog, resulting in him being constantly wary. If you are a Khajiit yourself, you can't even take his sidequest, and he'll sick his dog on you!
** In the first game there were Jesters that would make offensive jokes about your race.
** Valen Dreth, the first NPC you meet in ''Oblivion'', has a nice rant to deliver against whichever race you may be, even if you're a Dunmer like him.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' takes this UpToEleven after introducing the Thalmor, High Elf supremacists who are for all intents and purposes [[ANaziByANyOtherName the Tamrielic equivalent to the Nazi party.]]
*** Also, many of the Stormcloaks have this attitude. Especially in their capital of Windhelm, where the Dunmer are forced to live in a slum and the Argonians are only allowed to live and work on the docks. According to Brunwulf Free-Winter, one of the few Nords trying to make things better for the downtrodden in the city, Ulfric will not even lift a finger to help non-Nords in his hold of Eastmarch.
*** There's also the Forsworn, the native Bretons of the Reach, who despise the Nords and the Stormcloaks in particular for their actions against them in Markarth. The fact that they resort to murdering people in the city and consort with Hagravens keeps them from being too sympathetic, but it's worth noting that many of their arguments make a disturbing amount of sense (particularly about how they're not allowed to worship their own gods, which any Talos worshipper can relate to).

* ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 5}}'' has this trope as its {{Anvilicious}} morality tale - the tall, beautiful Veruni constantly oppress the smaller, weaker humans, while the protagonists work tirelessly to prove ThePowerOfFriendship and how we're all really the same inside. [[spoiler:Unusually, this is because they ''are'' - the Veruni used to be humans long ago, before they left for space]].
* Anti-nonhuman prejudice is touched on in ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''. On Taris, the only nonhumans who can walk around in the Upper City work for the local Exchange boss or are pretty Twi'lek shopkeepers. Others get pelted by stones thrown by children, as seen once. There is a street preacher calling nonhumans a "plague that sweeps through our streets". A seedy hotel has alien occupants despite this being illegal. The slum-like and generally miserable Lower City, overrun by gangs, is where most of the nonhumans live. The racism [[spoiler: Juhani]] experienced as a child on Taris is a major point in her sidequest.
** In the second game, both Atton and Kreia have strong prejudice against droids. Atton describes droids "break in the head". Kreia also hates certain types of aliens such as Zabraks. It's likely that these attitudes are a result of the fact that she can't read the minds of aliens and droids, making their actions harder for her to predict and control.

* A subversion in ''VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel''- having to recruit tribals from outlying settlements goes against their own ideals just on its own, but the epynomous organization also accepts ghouls and intelligent deathclaws into their ranks despite the objections from Simon Barnaky. After [[spoiler:he is captured and Dekker takes command]], super mutants and reavers are also allowed to join. Keep in mind, this straying away from the original ideals of the Brotherhood of Steel is done more out of necessity in most cases, as their own numbers without them are too few.
** Though the straying from the original ideals was probably helped along by the fact that that particular branch of the Brotherhood originated from a faction advocating increasing ties to the outside world and being more flexible with recruiting. They may not have intended to be quite ''that'' willing to take in recruits, but they already started out more willing to bend the rules even before they got into really desperate straits.
* In ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'', Rosie ''really'' hates the Darcsens often taking out rage her on Isara. Rosie eventually comes around and stops hating Darcsens.
** There are a few other playable characters who also hate Darcsens, but unlike Rosie, this comes in the form of a ''potential'' that lowers their accuracy when they're near allied Darcsen. Rosie, meanwhile, learns a potential that actually improves her accuracy when near Darcsens, although [[spoiler:she only gets it after Isara's PlotlineDeath.]]
** Darcsen-hating is institutional in Europa, especially in the Empire (which is happy to round them up, burn their homes, and send them to work camps). In Varrot's side mission, Geld is court-martialed "for torturing ''non-Darcsen'' civilians."
** The sequel ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII'' makes racism a bigger plot point [[spoiler: as the antagonists are a Gallian Noble House that didn't take well the whole revelation of Gallia's ruling family being Darcsens]].

* While this gets briefly touched upon in the first ''PhantasyStar'' game, and more expounded on in the second, the PS2 game Phantasy Star Universe features this as an apparent plot point (and background story), where the Humans have created [=CASTs=] (androids/robots), Beasts, and Newmans to inhabit the Gurhal System with them and serve as labor... but the hierarchy gets inverted quite a bit when the [=CASTs=] become the supremacists, the Beasts become resentful and rogue-ish, the Newmans become deeply religious, and the Humans still think everyone can get along. CAST speciesism and racism ensues throughout the entire game.

* ''CityOfHeroes'' has two primary alien races. There's the Rikti, most of which want to kill every human on the planet. Then there's the Kheldians, half of which are good, half of which are evil. There's many people, players and {{NPC}}s, who believe ''all'' Kheldians are evil, and believe the policy should be to shoot first and ask questions later. [[spoiler: The Rikti also have a few "good" ones. They've been tricked by Nemesis into the war they're waging on humanity, and most of the ones who are still fighting are the ones who don't know this or don't believe it.]]
** For added fun, the Rikti are actually [[spoiler: humans from an alternate universe, where alien intervention altered them so they go through a bizarre metamorphosis upon reaching adolescence.]] [[spoiler: And the Lost are humans infected with an engineered virus that, over time, transforms them into Rikti. The Rikti themselves have their own internal racism, where Rikti transformed from the local humans are regarded as second-class citizens.]]
* In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', the player encounters a land inhabited by 'fiends' (monsters) who built their own civilisation after the human-fiend war. Although the first fiends you encounter are friendly towards humans since they let bygones be bygones (the war ended 400 years ago), everyone else either attacks you, sells things for exorbitant prices ('you think I'd give a human the going rate?') or expresses rather loudly that the Fiendlord should have eradicated the human race when he had the chance, which is mildly disturbing. Humans mostly seem to have gotten over it though, since it's hardly mentioned, and they believe that 'some' monsters can live among humans.
** Regular humans don't seem to believe that ever happened, what with the monster village being somewhat secluded and the human-fiend war having happened during what would be the middle ages, they feel they have OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions. Also, most "monsters" that attack you in the present are just animals. A better example would be the "Dark Ages" segregation between Earthbounds and Enlighteneds. The later ones use magic and live happy in dreams (pretty literally), whereas the former don't, and live in utter misery. That is, until the source of Zeal's power goes [[PhlebotinumBreakdown boom]].
** This whole game is pretty anvilicious about this. In the prehistoric era it's the Reptites vs. the humans, 12,000 BC features the Enlightened vs the Earthbound Ones, both 600 AD and 1000 AD have the Mystics vs humans, and the future has the obligatory Robots Kill All Humans philosophy.
** There was some human racism towards the fiends in the Japanese version that was LostInTranslation -- while the Fiends call themselves "Mazoku", translating along the lines of "demon tribe", the humans call them "Mamono" -- this literally translates as "Demon Thing", and is a term you would usually use for a mindlessly hostile monster, rather than a sapient being.
*** Racism towards the fiends is a little explainable; when you infiltrate the fiend nest in the Manolia Cathedral in 600 A.D, there's one room that you can enter where a naga and a are resting while off duty. The naga's [[WelcomeToCorneria endlessly repeated line]] consists of belching and [[ImAHumanitarian commenting on how tasty the remaining captives look]].
* Spoofed in ''VideoGame/{{Atelier Annie|Alchemists of Sera Island}}''. When Fitz is nice to Annie, but mean to her fairy master Pepe, he assumes that this trope has spontaneously manifested in a world completely devoid of it - it's actually because Fitz has a [[LesYay fawning]] [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship girl-crush]] on Annie, and is jealous that Pepe gets to spend all his time with her.
* ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad'' gives us the people from Holn (hometown of one of the main characters) who are distrusted by the [[FantasyCounterPartCulture Game's expy of Switzerland]] because of their ability to communicate with monsters. In ''Twilight of the Spirits'', Human and Deimos (intelligent humanoid monsters) are locked into a cold war pretty close to heat up.
* In ''GaiaOnline'' racism plays a pretty large role in a lot of the events involving multiple races (beginning with humans-versus-{{Zombie|Apocalypse}}s, humans-versus-{{Alien|Invasion}}s, humans-versus-vampires... see any trends?), especially Halloween 2008's "humans-versus-vampires-versus-elves-versus-zombies" free-for-all (due to a misinterpreted prophecy).
** An ongoing example of this trope is Louie, who tends to be just a little too quick to pull the (vampiric) race card in his shop dialogue (calling those who ask if he [[Literature/{{Twilight}} sparkles]] "borderline racist" comes to mind).
*** Not that sparkle comment is entirely unjustified, but most races tend to either quick to pull out the "race card" or tend to stick to mindsets that show why they should be discriminated against in the first place, such as dark elves apparently having a large group of criminals together.
** Also the possibility that Gaia's orcs have been enslaved (which is asked about by Josie, who is black).
* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' is full of this. Human racism against elves. Elvish racism against humans or elves who act "too human". Human racism against humans of other ethnicities and nationalities. Classism in the [[FantasticCasteSystem Dwarven caste system]]. [[BullyingADragon Prejudice and mistrust]] against [[BlessedWithSuck Circle mages]]. [[BurnTheWitch Executions]] of ''non''-Circle mages. Religious intolerance, schisms and Holy Wars. There's probably not a permutation of this they ''don't'' cover.
** Humans and Dwarves. They are pretty respectful of each other for the most part, although the Dwarves view living on the surface as a weakness while human think the Dwarven caste system and politics are ridiculous. But there's no hostility.
** In all fairness, Human racism against Elves is much more pronounced than vice versa. Also, Elves are either kept as an underclass in slums or forced to wander after their civilization was destroyed a second time. So, there is a big difference there too.
*** The city elves don't show as much antagonism, but various Dalish are openly racist towards humans. Much more justified than the racism by humans against them, but meeting people like Velanna and Zathrian (the latter whose actions are only partly justfied) is a reminder that the Dalish can be pretty extreme in their racism too.
*** It's worth mentioning that many of the problems the Elves are suffering were caused by a war they started; the elves launched an armed invasion deep into human territory and sacked several key cities while the humans were still recovering from a nasty Darkspawn Blight. At that point, conquering the elves had as much to do with self-defense as it did with conquest, and it’s unlikely that the humans would have been treated any better if the elves had won the war instead.
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' adds Qunari to the mix. It's mostly a religious conflict, but the anti-Qunari zealots don't hesitate to throw around terms like "ox-men" when referring to the Qunari. Qunari themselves avert this trope; by their definition, those who follow the Qun are people, and those who do not are things, and race doesn't enter into it.
** Mages are a trickier situation as many people point out that there is many legitimate reasons to fear mages and want some sort governing power over people who can accidentally summon a demon and a zombie army big enough to wipe out a village. If that wasn't enough, DAII gives plenty of examples. Sure, sometimes it is bigotry. Sometimes, it is a very understanding concern about people with massive destructive that also happen to constantly hear voices of demons.
* Seems like any and all games that have PettingZooPeople interacting with each other have this trope in play.
* The BigBad of ''RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' is a robot who hates organic beings and wants them destroyed.
** [[RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction Emperor Tachyon]] anyone?
* Ferals (beastmen) to humans in ''SandsOfDestruction''. Sure, there's a few places where they're more or less equal, but the rest of the world? There's a reason why Morte's a part of the World Annihilation Front.
* The player-base for ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' often (jokingly) demonstrates a huge amount of hatred and disgust for the [[OurElvesAreBetter Elves]], often going so far as to treat them as the mortal enemies of the [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]]. This flies in the face of the existence of a race that ''already'' behave as the Dwarves' mortal enemies, the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Goblins]]. Most of this is due to how the Elves subtly insult the Dwarves when trading, try to instate limits to how many trees the Dwarves can cut down for wood, bring crappy trade goods, refuse to buy anything made of wood (even though they themselves sell items made from wood), and if they siege the player, they attack in their thousands and wear crappy armor that the Dwarves can't wear or smelt down into metal bars.
** This isn't helped by the fact that Elves [[ImAHumanitarian eat their enemies,]] and like to start wars over the treatment of plants (Then eating whoever they fight); they basically are designed to be as unreasonable as possible, whether or not they're at war with you. Goblins' reasons are far more reasonable: They want your stuff. After dealing with elves, one can almost respect that.
*** There is a massive exception to the rule: [[http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Cacame_Awemedinade Cacame Awemedinade the Immortal Onslaught]], Elf King of the Dwarves. His boundless rage for his own kind (They killed and ate his wife) so impressed the dwarves that they made him their king, [[DropTheHammer and his skill with a hammer is legendary.]]
** The player base takes this further, discussing the best way to commit genocide against [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=25967.0 Mermaids for their valuable bones]].
* Present in the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series, most obviously humans versus all forms of youkai, which is the most blatant in ''Undefined Fantastic Object.'' However, there's a few cases of fear and hatred between different species of youkai, such as the fact that everyone in the Underground hates the satori species, since they [[{{telepathy}} read minds]] and apparently can't control the urge to speak other peoples' thoughts aloud.
** And in the manga ''Silent Sinner in Blue'', we're introduced to Toyohime, the elder of the two Watatsuki sisters, both of whom are in charge of the Lunar Defense Corps. As far as Toyohime is concerned, everything on Earth is sin incarnate simply because it comes from Earth. And this is everything -- not just humans, youkai, and other sentient beings, ''everything''.
** Although in all cases it's toyed with in that there are good reasons behind the prejudice, at least on the face of it. Youkai were literally born to attack humans, and to stop doing so will cause them to pop of existence unless they undergo strict ascetic, which most of them don't care to. And for the Lunarians, they're essentially quarantining themselves on the moon because Earth is covered with "impurity" which is apparently the cause of death. Not simply deadly, the ''cause of all death''. So obviously they don't want to get infected and lose their immortality. These sorts of reasons don't always excuse their attitudes, but the story isn't interested in telling a simple aesop.
* Happens in SinsOfASolarEmpire in the case of the Advent and the TEC. The Advent, when rediscovered by the Trade Union, were reviewed as outcasts because of their beliefs. They were exiled, and now they've come back to [[RoaringRampageofRevenge get revenge]] on the TEC.

* The later {{Ultima}}s show this between Britannians and the Gargoyles.
* [[VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit Devan Shell]] decides to invade Carrotus...because he read "The Tortoise and The Hare" and came to the comclusion that the lesson was "All lagomorphs are smug, superior jackasses," and decided to show them a thing or two by eradicating them.
* The Godwins of ''SuikodenV'' go as far as engaging in genocide against the non-human residents of Falena.

* In ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice: The Devil's Playhouse'', Sam's mild prejudice-slash-{{Squick}} towards Sybil's marriage to the Statue of Abraham Lincoln is obviously reminiscent of attitudes towards gay marriage, with him wondering if it's even legal in this state, blanking out when Sybil describes how she and he have sex, and calling their union a 'sin against God'. PlayedForLaughs, though, and he gets over it by the end.
* In ''AgeOfWonders'', it's possible to be friendly with the leaders of good and evil races, but put units from each in the same party and you may end up with deserters.
* Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'' where Peter has a victim who is clinging on a bridge say "mutants are people too" before rescuing him.
* Humans in EienNoAselia tend to look down on spirits to a great extent. The spirits themselves seem to take it for granted by this point until Yuuto starts making a fuss.
* Most of the faction conflict in ''{{Rift}}'' seems to be more political and cultural than anything else. However, when it comes to bahmi (who are the descendants of human/[[OurGeniesAreDifferent air]] [[NatureSpirit spirit]] hybrids, and thus extraplanar) it's occasionally played straight: A Guardian NPC in [[NoobCave Terminus]] refers to them as "planetouched abominations," and the phrase "half-breed wind devil" comes up in Shimmersand.
* Shaper-to-[[CreatingLife creation]] racism in ''VideoGame/{{Geneforge}}'' parallels institutionalized slavery in America, down to the belief that creations who run away are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania mentally ill]]. At their worst, Shapers can't even ''conceive'' of the idea that creations might have rights, any more than you'd conceive of granting rights to a hammer or a saw. "Rogue" creations, for their part, view Shapers as a blight to be annihilated, and don't always distinguish between actual Shapers and normal humans. Meanwhile, drayks (incredibly powerful creations that the Shapers regret making and kill on sight) look down upon other creations as inferior, and are in turn looked down upon by drakons (drayks that learned how to [[LegoGenetics rewrite their own genetic code]] for [[EvolutionaryLevels increased power]]). There's also a divide between Shapers and normal humans, but this can work out multiple ways--some people hate and fear Shapers (though not too openly), some venerate them, and some just accept them as a part of life.
* The Humans Against Monsters (or H.A.M.) organisation in ''RuneScape'' are human supremacists, seemingly believing that humans are the chosen people of [[CrystalDragonJesus Saradomin]].
* ''DestroyAllHumans'' is practically nothing but a FantasticRacism, where the main character views humans as morons or "monkeys". However, the longer he stayed on the planet, the more his racisim degraded to PretendPrejudice.
* While the [[{{Deconstruction}} underlying theme]] of ''SandsOfDestruction'' is this trope, it's presented in a rather awkward direction. On paper, all of the Beastmen extremely revile the humans, to the point of deliberately torturing them for no reason. In action, even in the anime, it's presented as {{Narm}}, due to the... cartoonish characters [[BlatantLies as recommended by our]] ''[[BlatantLies beloved]]'' ExecutiveMeddling.

* In the ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' series, [[PettingZooPeople beas]][[LittleBitBeastly tkin]] are treated as second-class citizens at best. Hate and discrimination are fairly common, apparently. [[MsFanservice Makoto]] [[GenkiGirl Nanaya]] was subjected to this pretty badly in the NOL military academy, turning her into a [[JerkassFacade human-hating anti-social bitch]]. ThePowerOfFriendship [[CharacterDevelopment helped her get over this]], but the abuse still left a lasting impression, and making fun of her race is one of her [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].
** Some characters also display Fantastic Racist tendencies; [[BigBad Hazama]] presses said BerserkButton when he meets Makoto in her Arcade and Story modes, [[{{Troll}} although he purposefully hits every character's]] BerserkButton [[{{Troll}} whenever and wherever he can]]. He also calls [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Rac]][[ElegantGothicLolita hel]] a "shitty vampire" and hates those "goddamn cats" from the [[CatFolk Kaka clan]]. [[BiggerBad Rel]][[MadScientist ius]] also invokes this [[spoiler:during his HannibalLecture as he subjects Makoto to MindRape in her ''Extend'' [[BadEnd Bad Ending]]]].
--> '''Relius''': "[[KickTheDog You're merely doing as the animals do]]."
** Also, [[HeroAntagonist Haku]][[GoodIsNotNice men]] refers to [[CatGirl Koko]][[MadScientist noe]] as "grimalkin"[[hottip:*: An archaic term for a witch's cat, literally translating to modern English as "gray cat", which was used as the closest possible pre-existing English translation for bakeneko]], which is an offensive slang term for a beastkin, according to [[BadassAdorable Ju]][[OldMaster bei]].
* Speaking of beastkin, ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' was not at all subtle-- and deconstructed this trope by having the beastfolk fight back... well, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized tooth and claw]]. [[DisproportionateRetribution And then some.]]
** ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' has some history with this trope, in more ways than one. In ''The Lost Age'', the werewolves of Garoh, precursors/descendents (it's complicated) to ''Dark Dawn'''s beastfolk, were persecuted for transforming into wolf-people under the full moon (not helped by their inability to speak while beast-like).
** In the history of Weyard as described by [=NPCs=] and encyclopedia entries in ''Dark Dawn'', it quickly becomes obvious that the "Golden Age of Man" was only golden if you were one of the SmugSuper overlords. Among other things, the racial name of the non-powered people was used as a slur, and beastman ''slaves'' were used to build [[spoiler: Apollo Sanctum]]. This latter one is in fact a major plot point, since it means that the only known set of safety gear for use in said dangerous building is made for beastfolk and won't fit anybody else.
* The VUX of ''StarControl'' have it in for humanity, and want to wipe them out. Why? Well, they'll say it's because a human called a VUX a "[[FunWithAcronyms Very Ugly Xenomorph]]" back during first contact (the VUX are not particularly attractive creatures, it's true). Not entirely true though. The real reason is that, by VUX standards, humans are so utterly disgusting and repulsive that they have to consciously hold back a vomiting reflex upon looking at us. They will even admit that this is unreasonable, that they recognize that humanity didn't choose to look they way they do... but we're just '''so''' '''''ugly''''' that they can't handle it.
* The "AceAttorney Universe" features the fictional country of Borginia. In "ApolloJustice", case 3 is centred quite heavily around this country and many characters make remarks that could be considered extremely racist if said country was real. These include people stating how "lying must be a Borginian pastime" over and over again.
* While Undead in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' run a danger of becoming mindless, violent hollows should they lose all of their humanity, undead that still have their sense are brutally mistreated, imprisoned and sacrificed to maintain the First Fire.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'' universe, humans are descended from the Nephalem, who were born from the union of angels and demons who were tired of fighting the Eternal Conflict and created the world of Sanctuary, which humans now call home. Many demons prefer to expunge humanity to the last -- Belial tells you that Azmodan will "exterminate you and every last one of your misbegotten kind" when you reveal him for who he really is, and Azmodan himself calls you and humanity in general "creation's greatest sin." The angels aren't that much different -- while a number of angels aren't fond of humanity (Imperius in particular would rather purge Sanctuary because "demons had a hand in making it exist"), some are, with Tyrael, Itherael and Auriel voting to spare Sanctuary from annihilation. Imperius was flat-out against; Malthael abstained (mainly because he was absent from the council due to Worldstone-related matters when the vote was made), but it was counted against. Zoltun Kulle, twisted though he may be, even lampshades this.
--> '''Zoltun Kulle:''' ''Angels are no better than demons. Did you know that they once voted on whether or not to eliminate all of mankind? Only one vote spared us from extinction.''
--> '''Player:''' ''Tyrael. It had to be Tyrael.''
--> '''Zoltun Kulle:''' ''Yes. Whatever else he may be, he is the aspect of Justice... and there is no justice in murder.''

* In the ''{{FreeSpace}}'' series there is constant tension between the [[HumansByAnyOtherName Terrans]] and Vasudans, with Terrans seeing Vasudans as superstitious, smug assholes, Vasudans seeing Terrans as idiotic, violent brutes, and constant bickering and racist comments between Terran and Vasudan characters. The slur "Zod" used by Terrans to refer to Vasudans has appeared so often in fan works that it has become {{Fanon}}.
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' has it mixed in with classism and ablism in the views of noblebird Shirogane Le Bel Sakuya. He sees his half-brother, who had a common-born father, as a "mongrel"; he calls the less intelligent Okosan a throwback; he has racist terminology for a dove from the Philippines, and if he likes the TokenHuman protagonist he can once tell her "[[YouAreACreditToYourRace You are a credit to your simian ancestry.]]" BBL and supplementary material show that humans and birds fought a war once that lasted three decades and left humanity a tiny shadow of itself, living in caves and sometimes indulging in guerilla warfare or terrorism, and so many birds want to finish the job of wiping them out. ''Holiday Star'' has a scene where the protagonist is discouraged from visiting a high class department store because she's human.

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': Raz's dad hates psychics because they [[SuperDrowningSkills cursed his whole family to die in water.]] [[spoiler:Or does he?]]

* Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan'' where Peter has a victim who is clinging on bridge say "mutants are people too" before rescuing him.

* ''TheWitcher'' ...a major theme of the game...both the humans and the non-humans (elves and dwarves) display this, which leads to armed groups like the religious fanatical Order of the Flaming Rose and the terroristic Scoia'tel to commit horrific atrocities against the other race. Geralt himself is also a target of the racism.

* Subversion''VideoGame/FalloutTacticsBrotherhoodOfSteel''- having to recruit tribals from outlying settlements goes against their own ideals just on its own, but the epynomous organization also accepts ghouls and intelligent deathclaws into their ranks despite the objections from Simon Barnaky. After [[spoiler:he is captured and Dekker takes command]], super mutants and reavers are also allowed to join. Keep in mind, this straying away from the original ideals of the Brotherhood of Steel is done more out of necessity in most cases, as their own numbers without them are too few.

* In the ''BlazBlue'' series, [[PettingZooPeople beas]][[LittleBitBeastly tkin]] are treated as second-class citizens at best. Hate and discrimination are fairly common, apparently. [[MsFanservice Makoto]] [[GenkiGirl Nanaya]] was subjected to this pretty badly in the NOL military academy, turning her into a [[JerkassFacade human-hating anti-social bitch]]. ThePowerOfFriendship [[CharacterDevelopment helped her get over this]], but the abuse still left a lasting impression, and making fun of her race is one of her [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]].

** Ashley also shows what looks like outward hints of fantastic racism by not trusting the alien team members at first, though a lot of her concerns ''are'' justified by the fact that she is pretty much in charge of operational security on the ''Normandy'', and the alien crewmembers include a turian (whose species have had a violent history with humanity), a self-admitted quarian drifter, the asari daughter of the BigBad's second in command, and a krogan mercenary - pretty much the most untrustworthy thing in the galaxy. Her issues stem from her belief that the other races [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness will abandon Earth when it needs help]], and she strongly dislikes Terra Firma and Cerberus.

* In the ''{{FreeSpace}}'' series there is constant tension between the [[HumansByAnyOtherName Terrans]] and Vasudans, with Terrans seeing Vasudans as superstitious, smug assholes, Vasudans seeing Terrans as idiotic, violent brutes, and constant bickering and racist comments between Terran and Vasudan characters. The slur "Zod" used by Terrans to refer to Vasudans has appeared so often in fan works that it has become {{Fanon}}.

* Shaper-to-[[CreatingLife creation]] racism in ''{{Geneforge}}'' parallels institutionalized slavery in America, down to the belief that creations who run away are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania mentally ill]]. At their worst, Shapers can't even ''conceive'' of the idea that creations might have rights, any more than you'd conceive of granting rights to a hammer or a saw. "Rogue" creations, for their part, view Shapers as a blight to be annihilated, and don't always distinguish between actual Shapers and normal humans.

There's also a divide between Shapers and normal humans, but this can work out multiple ways--some people hate and fear Shapers (though not too openly), some venerate them, and some just accept them as a part of life.

* ''DragonAge Origins'' is full of this. Human racism against elves. Elvish racism against humans or elves who act "too human". Human racism against humans of other ethnicities and nationalities. Classism in the [[FantasticCasteSystem Dwarven caste system]]. [[BullyingADragon Prejudice and mistrust]] against [[BlessedWithSuck Circle mages]]. [[BurnTheWitch Executions]] of ''non''-Circle mages. Religious intolerance, schisms and Holy Wars. There's probably not a permutation of this they ''don't'' cover.

** ''DragonAgeII'' adds Qunari to the mix. It's mostly a religious conflict, but the anti-Qunari zealots don't hesitate to throw around terms like "ox-men" when referring to the Qunari. Qunari themselves avert this trope; by their definition, those who follow the Qun are people, and those who do not are things, and race doesn't enter into it.

* In ''FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'', the main character Marche unknowingly refers to a bangaa (a race of reptilian humanoids) as a "lizard", which is soon revealed to be a form of ethnic slur against them. Though this is probably similar, if not equivalent, to someone calling you an 'ape' (Something that happens a few times to Humans in fiction, too) The lizard comment is used by some [=NPCs=] in ''FinalFantasyXII'', and there are other indications of fantastic racism in that title, the most notable being a comment that "The Emperor is willing to overlook race for his more talented servants."
** Similarly in ''FinalFantasyIX'', the Burmecians are referred to as 'rats' and 'rodents' as a racial slur by those attempting their genocide.

** In ''FinalFantasyX'', the stateless Al Bhed tend to be looked down on by regular humans, with the Church of Yevon being particularly harsh due to the Al Bhed violating Yevon's restrictions on the use of technology. Even Wakka is shown throughout the game to be distrustful of Al Bhed, though he becomes less so the further along the story gets.
** Used to hell and back in ''FinalFantasyXI''. Beastmen hate the player races, the player races hate Beastmen, Humes exploit [[strike:African-Americans]] [[strike:Native-Americans]] Galka, [[OurElvesAreBetter Elvaan]] are snooty to ''everyone'', and even the cutesy [[LittlePeople Tarutaru]] have performed ''genocide'' on walking, talking frogs. To top it all off, the {{Precursors}} hate everyone but them. If there's a solid theme to FFXI, it's FantasticRacism.
* A lot of the villains in ''DissidiaFinalFantasy'' have a habit of referring to Zidane & Kuja with terms like "simian," "monkey," etc.
* In FinalFantasyVI, the Espers are the Other race that is being literally used by the humans. Terra's existence as a [[HalfHumanHybrid 'mixed' lineage child]] and the problems she has because of this are obviously her working through the 'racism.'

* In ''FinalFantasyVII'', after he goes insane, Sephiroth first believes that the humans betrayed "his" species, the Cetra, and develops a hostility bordering on vendetta towards them. After he finds out the truth (that what he was "cloned" from was ''not'' one of the Cetra, but [[EldritchAbomination something quite different]]), he just becomes completely evil without any particular prejudice.
* ''FinalFantasyXIII'' has this to some extent. Nearly the entire population of Cocoon have been raised in fear of invasion from the underworld of Gran Pulse. The depictions of Pulse as an uninhabitable and hostile wasteland are embedded into the minds of every Cocoon citizen, [[MetaphoricallyTrue even though there isn't any proof of this, nor is anyone allowed to prove or disprove these claims.]] Being branded a Pulse l'Cie is the equivalent of a death sentence--for the Pulse l'Cie, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans and everyone else in their vicinity suspected to be one.]] No matter what the Pulse l'Cie's alignment or Focus is, they are immediately generalized as an enemy of Cocoon, and the likelihood is that the Sanctum will do everything in their power to kill them before the end of their Focus. [[UnacceptableTargets On the other hand, being a Sanctum l'Cie is perfectly fine.]]

** This trope comes front and center in ''Tales of Rebirth'' with the humans versus the Gajumas (beast people).

* ''WoodruffAndTheSchnibbleOfAzimuth'': Humans towards Bouzouks.

*** There's also the Forsworn, the native Bretons of the Reach, who despise the Nords and the Stormcloaks in particular for their actions against them in Markarth. The fact that they resort to murder and consort with Hagravens keeps them from being too sympathetic, but it's worth noting that many of their arguments make a disturbing amount of sense (particularly about how they weren't allowed to worship their own gods, which any Talos worshipper can relate to).

*** Also, many of the Stormcloaks have this attitude. Especially in their capital of Windhelm, where the Dunmer are forced to live in a slum and the Argonians are only allowed to live and work on the docks. According to one of the Nords in the city, Ulfric will not even lift a finger to help non-Nords in his hold of Eastmarch.

* Played for laughs in ''VideoGame/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' where Peter has a victim who is clinging on bridge say "mutants are people too" before rescuing him.

** ''DragonAgeII'' adds Qunari to the mix. It's mostly a religious conflict, but the anti-Qunari zealots don't hesitate to throw around terms like "ox-men" when referring to the Qunari. Qunari for their part are rather disdainful of other races, though this is mostly because the Qunari see anyone outside of the Qun as ''things'', not people.
