* ''Anime/FutureRobotDaltanious'': [[FantasticRacism Alien]] example. Dr. Earl doesn't hide the fact that he looks down on non-Heliosians, even if they respect him like Manabu. He only cares about Kento[[note]]Half-human, half-Heliosian[[/note]] for his AlienPrince factor and looks down on his friends for being ordinary humans. In episode 4, he reveals the rooms he has for them at the base - Kento's is exquisite, lit by a studded chandelier, draped in tapestries of many colours, and has a throne, while the others have one that doesn't even have a lightbulb and is covered in cobwebs. Not only is it much smaller in size, but it's also expected to house ''six'' people. Manabu straight-up calls it discrimination, but Earl insists it's the norm. Kento, being [[{{Jerkass}} Kento]], grins and happily accepts this, much to their anger.
-->'''Earl:''' ''"Your origins are different from that of Prince Kento's! You cannot have the same treatment!"''

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Joseph Joestar hates Japanese people, and is shown smacking a guy just for being Japanese on the last page of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]''. In his case, however, it's not about ethnicity - it's because ever since his daughter married a Japanese man, he rarely sees her. Even then, it's an exaggeration, and he grows out of it anyway, since he shows no hate for all the Japanese people he interacts with in the next two parts, moreso the Japan-placed ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]''. Likewise, any genuine disdain would've been browbeaten out of him by his grandmother, who averted this trope, notably, as the time periods we see of her own life were not kind to blacks, and yet she and Joseph treat the latter's newfound friend Smokey, an African-American in 1930s New York, as a dear friend. He also likes his SONY Walkman.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', undergoing DemotedToComicRelief has made the Diamonds into a FantasticRacism version of this trope, entirely PlayedForLaughs. As they and Steven's now-deceased mother made up a DysfunctionalFamily unit, they end up acting like his overbearing older relatives. Although they give in to Steven's requests and even dismantle their empire's FantasticCasteSystem, it's clear they don't entirely believe in his mindset of equality and are doing it mostly to please him and keep him around.
-->'''White Diamond:''' I've been saying 'please' and 'thank you', even to lower life forms!
-->'''Steven:''' ''(unimpressed)'' What did we talk about?
-->'''White Diamond:''' ''(sighing) Equal'' life forms.

* In ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'''s ''Octo Expansion'' campaign, the Inkling Captain Cuttlefish (a veteran of a territory war between Inklings and Octolings) is this mixed in with InnocentBigot. He is normally pretty hostile to Octarians, but is willing to work with Agent 8 (an Octoling) because their soul was touched by the [[MagicMusic Calamari Inkantation]]. Once he learns [[MissionControl Marina]] is an Octoling who was also freed by the Calamari Inkantation, he clumsily states she's "ok for an octo" [sic] and that he "doesn't see species".

* ''Manga/{{Lady}}'': Duke Warbawn dislikes that his son chose to marry a Japanese woman and excludes Lynn (half Japanese) as his grandchild, while showering her half sister, Sarah (fully white British) with attention. [[spoiler: That is until Lynn wins a horse race and competes as the British representative for the Olympics, after which his racism just poofs into nowhere and he finally acknowledges her.]]
