** Duane is treated as a gross mockery of human life and probable experimental weapon by those who know of his undead status as his personality is considered an experimental AI rather than his own human soul bound to his shambling corpse since such a thing is thought to be impossible. His own religion teaches that anyone whose body is allowed to rot is dammed and that plods are an abomination far worse than enslaving living humans do he is a damned horror that out to be put down and burned to ash in their eyes.

** Sharteshane's [[GangsterLand dodgy reputation]], Cresce's fear of cross-cultural contamination, and Alderode's double whammy of patriotic xenophobia and internal PeopleOfHairColor caste system mean that people of the three major superpowers in the setting distrust and hate people from the others tending to paint everyone from these countries with the same brush as gangsters, controlling cops wholly dedicated to their queen or violent misogynistic heretical warmongers.

Added DiffLines:

** Despite most surviving efheby avoiding humans they have been hunted to near extinction because of their venom's ability to destroy Kassylinian souls, and the fact that some efheby have become addicted to devouring human memories.
** Llemulin are seen as gross, stupid and dangerous and are hunted and destroyed despite them being intelligent and capable of human speech because most don't bother. In the past they were worshipped for their ability to control the weather but now are considered incomplete sketches of a primitive era and have been hunted as heretical gods by Gefendur paladins. In return waterwomen drown any humans in their waters and despise them as untrustworthy murderers, remaking those of their kin who disagree and value any humans as unique individuals.

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'' has the two-toes, a declining race of humanoid lizards who are generally treated as second-class citizens. Their state is [[AllThereInTheManual explained]] as being because they used to live on top of some highly valuable natural resources, so humans ended up... [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide displacing]] them; most humans see them as scavengers and don't know the history. However, the species prejudice is overshadowed by plain old racism among humans thanks to Sharteshane's [[GangsterLand dodgy reputation]], Cresce's fear of cross-cultural contamination, and Alderode's double whammy of patriotic xenophobia and internal PeopleOfHairColor caste system.

a declining race of humanoid lizards who are generally treated as second-class citizens. Their state is [[AllThereInTheManual explained]] as being because they used to live on top of some highly valuable natural resources, so humans ended up... [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide displacing]] them; most humans see them as scavengers and don't know the history. However, They do not have Kassylinian souls which the species prejudice is overshadowed by plain old racism among two main human religions teach make them unique and better than other living things and ensures that many humans thanks see enslaving and killing off the Inak entirely as a noble goal.
** There used
to be intelligent lion like beings in the setting but humans eradicated them and all other felines after a lion became the symbol of a religion considered heretical by the primary religion in the setting.
** Inak and the intelligent senet consider humans, or "spider paws", to be inherently violent thieves and liars who cannot be trusted and will destroy everything if given a chance. Many talk like these traits are unique to humans even though Inak and senets are also prone to tribalism, murder and trickery with some senets actually having hunting other beings or manipulating them as an inherent unavoidable trait.

** Alderode's government uses the caste and ghers systems to ensure internal tensions and bigotry is aimed between those groups instead of at the controlling government and further does everything in its power to ensure citizens despise Crescians and will slaughter them on sight including offering financial rewards for a flayed Crescian's skin. This means most Alds who are born without the Dammakhert sorting them into a caste look exactly like Crescians and are also targeted as Crescians.

* ''Webcomic/StrongFemaleProtagonist'': There is at least one recognized hate group that targets [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual biodynamics]], though they generally only attack [[DirtyCoward low-level ones who lack combat powers]] [[spoiler:(or, in the case of the attack on Feral, ones who are helplessly StrappedToAnOperatingTable)]].

Added DiffLines:

* In ''Webcomic/FindingYourRoots'', the {{Mons}} are divided into racial groups based on their types. The main conflict explored is between the Elementals (Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice) and the Earthens (Rock, Ground, Steel). Elementals view themselves as the MasterRace and live in exclusive communities, while earthens were historically forced out of cities and made to live in the desert. While many earthens have returned to cities in the present, they still face discrimination. Cedar, the main character, is a Mudkip, who evolves to fit into both groups, leaving her with HalfBreedAngst. She identifies more as an earthen, which is met with [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer mockery from her peers back home]] and [[NoTrueScotsman rejection from other earthens]].

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Racism against constructs (those created or heavily modified by Sparks) is prevalent. Subverted with Krosp. Brother Ulm doesn't trust him, but not because he's a construct -- it's because he's a cat.

Added DiffLines:

** The [[Literature/AgathaHAndTheAirshipCity first print novel]] expands on this, stating that while the Wulfenbach empire has laws against discrimination of Constructs, these laws are often ignored in the parts of the empire that rarely see the Baron's forces, such as Beetleburg. As a result, Constructs often move into the larger, more cosmopolitan town and cities where the Baron's forces maintain a constant presence or try to stay BeneathNotice as best as they can.

Added Yellow Brick Ramble to the list.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/YellowBrickRamble'': This is a comic-slash-graphic-novel adaptation of ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'', the second novel of the [[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]] series. And starting in chapter 7 of the comic, when the characters first arrive at Emerald City, we begin seeing a few signs of the type of anti-Animal racism that was one of the major plot points of ''Literature/TheWickedYears'' series of novels.
