[[AC:Film]]
* EddieMurphy's character in ''Bowfinger'' (one of them, anyway) thinks that the fact he has no iconic catchphrase is racism. He also got offended when he thought his agent saying a script "isn't Shakespeare" was actually calling him a "spear chukka'." He also counts the letters of a script - and discovers the number of K's is divisible by 3, meaning "KKK appears in this script 486 times!"
* "Buggin' Out" from ''{{Do The Right Thing}}'' is constantly offended at the racism around him (hence the nickname), and his crazy tantrum about the pictures of Italians on the wall of an Italian restaurant owned by an Italian leads to the riot at the end.
* Ludacris in ''{{Crash}}'' endlessly rants about about being stereotyped as a ScaryBlackMan, [[{{Hypocrite}} as he goes around stealing people's cars at gunpoint]]. This is even lampshaded when he notes to his friend of how they're outnumbered by white people where they are and asks "So why ain't we afraid?" Maybe 'cause we got guns?" his partner in crime answers. "You could be right," Ludacris' character agrees, ''just before they run up to carjack a white couple''. Rotfl.
* "Conspiracy Brother" in ''UndercoverBrother'' constantly reads racist implications into everything, even saying "Good Morning." It really says something that he is in a movie where there ''actually is'' a white conspiracy led by "TheMan" to keep blacks down and he ''still'' comes across as crazy. The [[AnAesop lesson]] is that just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.

* Go to any major movie forum on {{IMDB}} and odds are you will find a troll accusing the film of racism. Then {{300}} came out.

* In ''{{Catch-22}}'' they hated Yossarian because [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy he was Assyrian]]. It was invoked just for BlackComedy, though.

* {{Ali G}} will frequently accuse people of being racist towards him, "Iz it cuz I iz black" despite being quite obviously not black.
** Interestingly, in an inversion to this trope, Sacha Baron Cohen picked the name "Ali G" because he figured people would be less likely to get into a shouting match with someone with an Arab-sounding name, for fear of looking like they were racist.
*** The original producer of the Ali G sections of the 11 O'Clock Show has said that people would be less likely to turn nasty for fear of being thought to be racist if they thought he was a Muslim, but if Muslims complained they could claim Ali was short for Alistair.
** Jason Behr's character on the R-rated cable sitcom ''Sherman Oaks'' was '''constantly''' like this, even though he was also quite white.

* TheChappelleShow featured a sketch in which a black werewolf, a black mummy, and a black Frankenstein monster try to deal with various problems that they initially blame on racism. The werewolf and Frankenstein monster tend to cause their problems through their own antisocial behavior, but the mummy is clearly the victim of prejudice, although it isn't clear whether it's because he's black or because he's a mummy.

* EddieMurphy's character in ''Bowfinger'' (one of them, anyway) thinks that the fact he has no iconic catchphrase is racism. He also got offended when he thought his agent saying a script "isn't Shakespeare" was actually calling him a "spear chukka'."
** Let's not forget he counts the letters of a script - and discovers the number of K's is divisible by 3, meaning "KKK appears in this script 486 times!"

* Ludacris in ''{{Crash}}'' endlessly rants about about being stereotyped as a ScaryBlackMan, [[{{Hypocrite}} as he goes around stealing people's cars at gunpoint]].

** The [[AnAesop lesson]] being that just because they're out to get you doesn't mean you're not paranoid.

* [[AvenueQ Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes...]]

* [[MassEffect You humans are all racist!]]

* Several times, when things are ColorCodedForYourConvenience, a few people will read racist subtext into the colors used. The chances of this go up if one of the colors is black or white or if the word "power" exists anywhere near the color:

* The nursery rhyme ''Baa Baa Black Sheep'' was changed to ''Baa Baa'' '''''Rainbow''''' ''Sheep''. [[INeedAFreakingDrink I'll be]] [[WallBanger right back]].

*** Not that it's ''all'' unjustified. When you have a Cotton Pokémon that can be a pickpocket and is only found in the Black Version, that's a clear sign you should have done more research on the matter.

->[[TheStinger Speaking of which, why is the Tv Tropes background white? That's racist!

** ''PokemonBlackAndWhite'': Uh, yeah. Some people seriously believed the titles would start a race war between the fandom.
*** Also, one of the characters is named "N". It didn't take the fandom long to talk about that one.

Speaking of which, why is the TvTropes background white? that's Racist!
* Even worse, DarthWiki is black and SugarWiki is a blushing Caucasian [[PinkGirlBlueBoy girl]]!
** And the TroperTales pages are all Asian. Clearly a work of TheConspiracy.

** Also, one of the characters is named "N". It didn't take the fandom long to talk about that one.
** Aloe. Dear god, ''[[InternetBackdraft Aloe.]]'' She's black and wears an apron. Now people are accusing her of being a mammy stereotype.

* When the titles for ''{{Pokemon}} Black and White'' were first announced, race was of course the first thing to pop up. Some people seriously believed the titles would start a race war between the fandom.
** One of the character's is named "N". It didn't take the fandom long enough to talk about that one.
*** Aloe. Dear god, ''[[InternetBackdraft Aloe.]]'' She's black and wears an apron. Now people are accusing her of being a mammy sterotype.

[[AC:Comics]]
* DCComics killed an obscure character who just happened to be Asian in an event called Brightest Day. Clearly those who run DC are all racist. Not like they ever kill obscure characters off for shock value...

* In the "International Association of Time Travelers" message board skit, it is implied that [=AsianAvenger=] has a history of this behavior. This comes back to bite him at the end, as [[spoiler:he accidentally {{Grandfather Paradox}}es himself out of existence, and while his fellow time travelers/forumites are aware of this, no one can be bothered to save him]].
