*''Franchise/KamenRider''
**''Series/KamenRiderX'': Akuninkaijin are Lord Dark's genetically created minions using the DNA of evil historical figures. One of these figures is Geronimo, a famous Native American who fought against United States most famously in The Battle of Littlehorn. For the longest time, in the United States at least, he was not seen in a sympathetic light, but even when X was airing that started to change. Today stating he was a straight up villain would cause major outrage.
**''Series/KamenRiderGaim'':
*** Kouta's sister Akira has a little speech in #3 about the value of "real" work in contrast to mere "play" like Beat Riding which struck many western viewers as patently false and hypocritical, as it seems to devalue work in entertainment, falsely implying that only drudgery and self-sacrifice helps others. Though considering what sparked the speech, [[FridgeBrilliance she might be trying to warn Kouta away from what is pretty much high-school thug life]].
*** While it does look odd[[note]]Why, you ask? [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krga_gaimkiwami.png Err]]...[[/note]] to a Western Audience, Kiwami Arms (specifically the helmet) is based off of Oba Nobunaga's armor. While he's been portrayed as both good and evil in culture, Nobunaga is considered a powerful warlord and one of Japan's greatest rulers, so with that in mind, basing Gaim, a Samurai's, ultimate form off his armor makes sense when Nobunaga's cultural significance is taken into account (something western audiences may be less aware of).[[note]]
*** That being said, many images of Nobunaga's armor have his helmet as round. Even in the ones that did have a pointed tip weren't that high up. So the uncomfortable resemblance (see UnfortunateCharacterDesign) still stand.
*** The helmet also in some ways resembles a design commonly attributed to another Sengoku-era warlord of note: Uesugi Kenshin.[[/note]]
*** As stated in AlternativeCharacterInterpretation and TheScrappy above on the YMMV page, many Western fans [[spoiler: hated how Mai was handled in the end and thought it was sexist and objectifying.]]

* There's a pretty uncomfortable part in "The Ark in Space" where the Doctor explains his plan to see the dead Wirrn's memories [[EyeRemember through connecting psychically to a part of its eye]]. He relates it to something that "Gypsies" used to believe. Compare and contrast to a scene referencing this in the Eleventh Doctor episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror The Crimson Horror]]," where the Doctor points out that the belief is rubbish without linking it to a specific racial epithet.

** Lampshaded in the final 12th doctor episode "Twice Upon a Time" where the 12th Doctor runs into his earlier incarnation, the 1st Doctor. 12 is absolutely mortified at how old fashioned and misogynist he used to be.
