* {{Samurai7}} had [[spoiler:Heihachi who hates traitors, though he was a traitor himself.]]
* In {{Vampire Knight}}, [[spoiler:Zero Kiryu is a vampire hunter who hates vampires [[{{HunterOfHisOwnKind}} despite being an ex-human vampire himself.]]]]
* In ''{{Bleach}}'', this is the reason why Yumichika and Rangiku have trouble getting their Bankai; they don't like their [[EmpathicWeapon Zanpakuto]] because they are just as vain and lazy as their users(though neither of them seem actually aware that they are vain and lazy).

* The seventh member of ''TheMagnificentSeven'' really hates farmers.
** This is directly taken from TheSevenSamurai film from which TheMagnificentSeven was based. There it explains why the seventh member tries so hard to be a Samurai, constantly boasting and showing off before tearfully admitting he came from a family of selfish farmers.
*** He hates Samurai quite a bit too. Kid's got issues.

* In HarryPotter, Snape is a double hitter- in his youth he was highly prejudiced against muggles and muggle-borns despite being a half-blood himself [[spoiler: and in love with a particular muggle-born]]; as an adult teacher he mocks [[TheSmartGuy Hermione]] for being, as he once put it, "an insufferable know-it-all"- ironic coming from Snape, who is himself an InsufferableGenius.

* Dave Chappelle once played a white supremacist who was born blind and didn't know he was black. When he finds out, he divorces his white wife because "she's a nigger lover"

** Similarly, [[MageTheAwakening Banishers]] really, ''really'' hate mages, despite the fact that the two groups went on the same trip to the Supernal Realms and came back with knowledge of magic. The differences is that while regular mages viewed the experience as akin to religious awakening, Banishers viewed it as more like MindRape and feel an instinctive revulsion every time they use magic.

* Similarly, the Pope in ''TalesOfSymphonia'' is fiercely anti-half-elf even though he has a half-elf daughter.
** Actually, he hates half-elves because his daughter is a half-elf. (Which makes you wonder what he was expecting.)
*** That is, he used to support the cause of half-elf equality, and even fell in love with an elf. But when their daughter was born and her mother died, he found himself growing more hateful and terrified of her differences, coming to understand the perspective of the people who hated half-elves, and he started to support them instead.

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]
* Chiniride from ''{{Drowtales}}'' vigorously supported her clan's religious intolerance to half-breeds, even though she is the daughter of a light elf and gray drow herself. (And she knows this and even contemplates killing herself to purify the world from her own kind.) [[spoiler:It was revealed later that, in the world of Drowtales, gray drow are the same race as light elves, just as black drow are related to dark elves. So she can feel good about herself again.]]
** It's also recently been implied that Chiri'nide's adopted mother Shimi'lande is much more of a puppet ruler than was previously indicated, and it falls under this trope because the Kyorl'solenurn are fanatical in their hatred for the Vloz'ress, another clan that has a puppet ruler.
* In ''CuantaVida'', the BLU Scout spends most of the comic hurling gay slurs at the BLU Spy. [[spoiler: He is gay, and has a crush on the BLU Spy.]]

* Moe in ''TheSimpsons'', in the episode in which they want to throw out the illegal inmigrants, he is one of the most vocals about it, but he is illegal himself.
** It's never mentioned where Moe originally came from, though ''Bart's Inner Child'' suggests that it may have been Italy:
--> '''Moe's Inner Child:''' Hey, Moe, what's-a-matter? You no talka with you accent no more!\\
'''Moe:''' (Slaps cheek) Mama mia!
** Another episode suggests another origin, unsurprising for the show's negative continuity.
-->'''Moe''': This bar is for real Americans only, and those on permanent visas, like me...What are you lookin' at? I'm Dutch!
** And then there's the fact that, according to a police background check, his full first name is ''Moammar''...
** And his surname, Szyslak, suggests another origin from Poland or Hungary.

* In TheBoondocks, Uncle Ruckus([[RunningGag no relation]]) is black and yet he hates blacks.
* Raven from TeenTitans.
** Slade: What you have concealed you shall become!

* From ''{{Gargoyles}}'', BigBad Demona has immense FantasticRacism towards humans, but WordOfGod describes her as being, psychologically, the most human-like gargoyle in the series, and after a JackassGenie moment on the part of [[GreatGazoo Puck]], she ''actually becomes a human'' during the day, rather than turning to stone like the rest of her species.
** Indeed. Throughout the series she easily takes to human society and tools, such as human sorcery and technology, even ''before'' she gained her human transformation curse. She even started her own freaking company (named Nightstone)! For all of her hatred towards humans, Demona fits in far more with human civilization than she does with her fellow gargoyles.

* Playing a light-sider in KnightsOfTheOldRepublic? Maxed out on the KarmaMeter? Grown to become ''really'' tired of the Sith? [[spoiler: Guess who YOU used to be...]]

For a long time, despite how [[YouFailLogicForever illogical]] the trope seems, it was thought that it could be TruthInTelevision when it came to sexuality. But while the study which proved this was later found to be discredited, conventional thinking does make you wonder if the most vicious homophobes actually have something to hide [[hottip:*:Especially in the UnitedStates, where it seems every four months there's a new sex scandal involving a conservative politician or cleric and a 19-year-old paid "luggage handler"]]. Despite the shaky real-world evidence, fiction ''loves'' this trope. Viewers always get a kick out of seeing the villain as a filthy hypocrite, unable to live up to their own high standards.

For a long time, despite how [[YouFailLogicForever illogical]] the trope seems, it was thought that it could be TruthInTelevision when it came to sexuality. However, the study which proved this was later found to be discredited, but that hasn't stopped fiction in the slightest. The Trope has mostly come up due to a love the audience has for seeing the villain as a filthy hypocrite, unable to live up to their own immoral standards- not any actual science.

* In TheBoondocks, Uncle Ruckus is black and yet he hates blacks.

* In ''{{Bleach}}'', this is the reason why Yumichika and Rangiku have trouble getting their Bankai; they don't like their [[EmpathicWeapon Zanpakuto]] because they are just as vain and lazy as their users.

* ''The Believer'' is based around this.

[[AC:RealLife]]
* Not an insignificant number of right wing political figures, most notably Ted Haggard

* [[spoiler: Judge Doom]] in WhoFramedRogerRabbit.

** Are you suggesting that Friend Computer is capable of failure? [[AllCrimesAreEqual That is treason]], please proceed to the nearest execution chamber. TheComputerIsYourFriend.

* Lampshaded in ''This Is England'': one of the far-Right extremist characters, Combo, is a racist played by a mixed-race actor... hence his MeaningfulName.

When the character ''knows'' that he is a member of the group he despises, then that's a BoomerangBigot.

** For clarification he hated them before he ate them because he's ''Squidward'' and he's a grump but after he ate one, he loved it but lied to everyone, including Spongebob who later finds Squidward eating thousands of Krabby Patties. Which go straight to his thighs. And then he blows up. SoYeah. (Run-on sentences without context are fun!)
