"As an angel, I can't allow myself to lose to a devil... You devils are painful to look at! A worthless, inferior species! Get out of my sight!!"
Poporon to Jashin, Dropkick on My Devil

"We Coordinators are very different. We should view ourselves as a completely new species. There's no reason to coexist with Naturals."
Patrick Zala, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

"It's simple; even a single Coordinator is a threat to the Earth's survival, and our goal here is to get rid of them all!"
Muruta Azrael, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED

"Such arrogance from lesser beings who were once suppressed by us... We shall make you regret your insolence!"
Anti-Spiral King, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Supergirl: Lena...
Lena: All these months... All these months you've been lying to me! Laughing at me!
Supergirl: I've never laughed at you.
Lena: Liar! You're an alien! A super-powered oppressor! You're the very definition of evil and you ruined my life!
Supergirl: Lena... I'm still me! I'm your best friend!
Lena: Not anymore... Not now that I know the truth! You're my enemy now. I have no choice but to destroy you!
Supergirl: But why? I'm the same person you've been friends with for months! Why do you have to hate me?!
Lena: Because your kind offends the natural order! You float through the sky as if you own it! You change the course of rivers without a thought to the consequences! Your very existence undermines the purity of true human achievement! Superheroes are nothing but a bunch of glory-hogging tyrants, and I will not rest until I see you humiliated and destroyed for what you did to my...!

"Parapsychics were treated in a manner similar to that members of socially unacceptable subgroups had been in a less enlightened time, with the fear of the different and of the unknown. The metaphor was imperfect, due to the fact that gays, for example, lacked the ability to set people on fire with their mind."

Eraqus: It isn't human, Aqua. Beings such as this upset the balance by their mere existence. That balance must be maintained at any cost.
Vanitas: That's not true! That doesn't even make sense. You didn't kill the other boy when Master Xehanort brought him, and if I'm unbalanced, so is he. You don't really care about the "balance" at all, do you? You just hate me for existing.

Janeway was not the type of girl to jump on the nearest chair and shriek when faced by a giant rat, but she could not deny a feeling of wrongness, of alienation — the instinctive psychological rejection of a creature that was in the form and manner of a Man, yet was not.

This was how it was meant to be. In final conflict, on the skies Superman claimed. The Man of Steel versus the Man of Mind. Earthman versus Kryptonian. Absurdly, Luthor felt a thrill of patriotism. Despite all the natural power of a man from a giant red-sun world, given the intelligence, a mere mortal Terran could bring him down.

"Do all Inklings know so little about Octolings, or Octarians in general? Maybe that is why they are so aggressive towards us, they see us as an alien-race completely different from them. Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to share the land too, if they got such a bad idea of us..."

"They say that there is no one who isn't salvageable. Repent, for we are all children of God and belong in his grace. You, however, are not. You are not children of God, descended from Adam, crafted from clay of the Mother Earth. You crawled your way out of the rotting flesh of the Titan, an undignified, heretical creature. No amount of repentance or prayer, or conversion to the faith will ever save your souls, if you ever had one to begin with. You were born evil, and you will die evil. You only exist to corrupt the hearts of good men. Your magic is a threat I will not tolerate. No, you witches can join the devils of Hell where you belong, and burn for eternity for the sin of being born."
Emperor Belos, A Blight on Bonesborough

    Film — Animated 
"We don't like what we don't understand! In fact, it scares us,
And this monster is mysterious at least!"
"The Mob Song", Beauty and the Beast

Kaptain Krispy: You got somethin' to say, candy arse?
Daredevil Dan: Yeah, salt-lick - you can kiss my additives!

"I will hunt you down for all eternity! I swear, I will never rest until I destroy you and every other monster if it's the last thing I ever do!"
Abraham Van Helsing, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation

"Hmph. Threehorns never play with Longnecks!"

Ariel: He could have died.
King Triton: Then that's one less human to worry about!
Ariel: You don't even know him!
King Triton: Know him?! I don't have to know him! They're all the same! Spineless, savage, harpooning fish-eaters, incapable of any feeling!
Ariel: Daddy, I love him! [clasps hands over her mouth]
King Triton: Have you lost your senses completely!? He's a human, you're a mermaid!

"I thought Earth ponies were the pony ladder's bottom rung.
I heard that pegasi are brutes that you'd hate to be among.
'You smell like fishes! You're vicious!
I bet you eat your young!'
Meet any one of you and the proper thing to do is run away!"
Izzy Moonbow revealing some of the stereotypes she was raised to believe during "Fight Right In", My Little Pony: A New Generation

Gingerbread Man: You're a monster!
Lord Faarquad: I'm not the monster here, you are! You and the rest of that fairytale trash, poisoning my perfect world...
Shrek

Shrek: Well, it seems that Fiona's not exactly happy.
Fairy Godmother: Oh-ho-ho! And there's some question as to why that is? Well, let's explore that, shall we?
[looks up these books] Princess. Cinderella. Here we are. "Lived happily ever after." Oh... [laughs] No ogres! Let's see. Snow White. A handsome prince. Oh, no ogres. Sleeping Beauty. Oh, no ogres! Hansel and Gretel? No! Thumbelina? No. The Golden Bird, the Little Mermaid, Pretty Woman... No, no, no, no, no! You see, ogres don't live happily ever after.
Shrek: [points at her] All right, look, lady!
Fairy Godmother: Don't you point those dirty green sausages at me!

King Harold: An ogre from a swamp. Oh, how original!
Queen Lillian: I suppose that would be a fine place to raise the children.
[Shrek and King Harold almost choke on their spoons and food]
Shrek: It's a bit early to be thinking about that, isn't it?
King Harold: Indeed. I just started eating.
Queen Lillian: Harold!
Shrek: What's that supposed to mean?
Fiona: Dad, it's great, okay?
King Harold: Well, for his type, yes.
Shrek: My type?
[later]
King Harold: I suppose any grandchildren I could expect from you would be...
Shrek: Ogres, yes!
Queen Lillian: Not That There's Anything Wrong with That. Right, Harold?
King Harold: Oh, no! No, of course not! That is, assuming you don't eat your own young!

"You'll always need help, because steam engines are cowardly, cranky, worn-out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly."

Young Nick: I — Nicholas Wilde — promise to be brave, loyal, helpful, and trustworthy!
Scout Leader: Even though you're a fox?

"I — I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women... and the children, too. They're like animals! And I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM!"
Anakin Skywalker taking about the Sand People, Attack of the Clones

"No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood."

Erle Kenton: We should have stuck with the old ways. Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that?
Charlie Barton: Humans are our cattle.
Erle Kenton: Humans are our prey. We should feed on them, like we've always done. Screw all this "channel your energies" crap.

"It's because I'm green, isn't it?"

Mulroy: There's no question, there has been a breakdown in military discipline aboard this vessel.
Murtogg: I blame the fish people.
Mulroy: Oooh, so fish people, by dint of being fish people, automatically aren't as disciplined as non-fish people?
Murtogg: Seems contributory, 's all I'm suggesting.

"There are no good aliens or bad aliens! There is just us and them."
Harold Attinger, Transformers: Age of Extinction

"You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child."
Mystique towards Senator Kelly, before kicking him unconscious, X-Men

    Literature 
"Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers—"

"She almost seemed to revel in it at times, like those insane people back in the sixties, just before the virus had shown up, who'd actually argued that some people weren't as good as others due to the color of their skin. Like something that stupid could ever be important? Funny how no one worried about black and white, when purple was setting their car on fire with his mind, Brian mused, smiling at the old joke painfully."
Brian Yi, The Infected

"Think of the people who would have thrown Einstein in an oven because his parents were nominally Jewish... Now imagine that everyone, everywhere, could instantly see and tell which primary tribal group or ancestral type you were. Because your people have four arms and are striped, and others have goatlike hindquarters, and others are hermaphroditic pastel-colored female shapes with tails, or half cat, or snake, or hairy ape, or so on. You see where I am going?"
Antonio, The Moreau Factor

The Dead were generally given short shrift throughout the solar system. They were banned from most hotels and restaurants. They found it impossible to hold down a decent job. And, even on television, they were generally only included as token deads. Not a single golf club throughout known space had a dead member.
Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers

"Look at his collar. He's a kittypet! Once a kittypet, always a kittypet! This Clan needs wildborn warriors to defend it, not another soft mouth to feed! Your collar is the mark of the Twolegs, and that noisy jingling will make you a poor hunter at best. At worst, it will bring the Twolegs into our territory, looking for the poor little kittypet who fills the forest with his pitiful tinkling. The noise of your trecherous bell will alert our enemies, even if your Twoleg stench doesn't."
Longtail, Warrior Cats

"I could never figure that," said Roger. "I mean why humans don't like toons. We're no different from humans, not really. We have different mannerisms, and different physical makeups, and a different way of talking, but we have the same emotions. We love and hate and laugh and cry exactly the same way humans do."

Gillikinese are sharp as knives,
Munchkinlanders live corny lives,
Glikkuns beat their ugly wives,
Winkies swarm in sticky hives.
But the Quadlings, Oh the Quadlings,
Slimy stupid curse-at-godlings,
Eat their young and bury their old
A day before their bodies get cold.
Wicked

Wilf: God bless the cactuses!
The Doctor: That's cacti.
Vinvocci: That's racist!

Eleanor: You realize the Bad Place is not some sort of couple's retreat, right?
Jason: If it is, Janet and I would like to go.
Tahani: Oh, that's enough out of you, robot-lover.
Jason: Hey, that's racist!
Janet: Not a robot.

They're not from this country
They spread their disease
They all look the same and tilt their heads when they speak
They lay loads of eggs to get free accommodations
Fuck all the chickens, they're the scourge of the nation!

"Frogs are handsome, debonair and charming, while toads are ugly and give you warts".
Kermit the Frog, The Muppet Show

"Don't you get it, Odo? We humanoids are a product of millions of years of evolution. Our ancestors learned the hard way that what you don't know might kill you. They wouldn't have survived if they hadn't jumped back when they encountered a snake coiled in the muck; and now, millions of years later, that instinct is still there. It's genetic. Our tolerance to other life forms doesn't extend beyond the two-arm, two-leg variety. I hate to break this to you; but when you're in your natural state, you're more than our poor old genes can handle."

Commissioner Bele: It is obvious to the most simple-minded that Lokai is of an inferior breed.
Spock: The obvious visual evidence, Commissioner, is that he is of the same "breed" as yourself.
Bele: What are you, blind, Commander Spock? Well, look at me. Look at me!
Kirk: You're black on one side and white on the other.
Bele: I am black on the right side.
Kirk: ...I... fail to see the significant difference.
Bele: Lokai is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side.
Spock: ...Hmm.

Castiel: The decision's been made.
Uriel: [laughs] By a mud monkey.
Castiel: You shouldn't call them that.
Uriel: Ah, it's what they are — savages, just plumbing on two legs.

"Romulans are treacherous, deceitful. They are without honour."
Worf, Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Birthright"

Let's be xenophobic! It's really in this year
Let's find a nasty, slimy, ugly alien to fear
There's no more cutesy stories 'bout E.T. phoning home
Let's learn to love our neighbors, like the Christians learned in Rome!

We know we ought to hate 'em; they're different, you see
We've seen they're mean and ugly on movies and TV
The folks that ought to know have told us how it's got to be
The gospel truth is found in scenes from
Alien and V

Let's wipe out any lifeform that seems to be a threat
We'll serve 'em up a genocide they never will forget
Cause if we miss a couple, they'll breed a couple more!
And soon we'll all be hating twice as many as before

You see, aliens can never be as good as humankind
A more delightful race than us you'll never, ever find
So step aside, you star slime, we're ready for your worst!
We know you want to beat us, enslave us and defeat us
Oppress us and browbeat us, unless we get you first!

Couples of all genders, sizes, and sexual orientations are common. The cultural history of the Ninth World is so different from our own — from religious influences to the aftereffects of global conflicts — that nothing we know today about discrimination applies. (This isn't to say that discrimination doesn't exist. It does — but against different things and for different reasons.)
Numenera, supplement Love and Sex in the Ninth World

"Suffer not the alien, the mutant, the heretic."

"He who allows the alien to live shares in the crime of its existence."

Gunvolt: So you're... an ally?
Copen: ...You're foolish. Sumeragi, QUILL, all Adepts, every last one of you are my enemy. That of course includes scum like you, Gunvolt! Now, you'll pay for your crimes!
Gunvolt: Seriously...? "Crimes"?!
Copen: Our human world is infested with freaks, fiends, inhuman terrors... That is exactly... what all of you Adepts are. Your mere existence in our world is a crime. It is blasphemy. So I am here to judge you in place of God.

Kayleth: Ronan, have you found any evidence of this human?
Ronan: The human has been among us ever since we entered the clearing. Reveal yourself! Your attempts at hiding irritate my ears.
Adrastia: I required that Ork alive! Give me one reason why I should not slaughter every one of you Eldar witches!
Kayleth: Because in your primitive hierarchy, 'Eldar witches' are marginally more trustworthy than Orks.
Adrastia: Hah! You evidently know very little about humans.
Kayleth: [sighs] Reasoning with savages tires me... You came to bargain with the Ork. He is dead. Bargain with us instead.
Adrastia: Hm. This place will burn soon enough... I cannot see how it would matter if you know. Due to persistent Chaos and xenos activity, the Ordo Malleus has declared this sector lost and has ordered an Exterminatus. In three weeks, our fleet will arrive and lay waste to every world within subsector Aurelia.
Veldoran: Vaul aid us...
Adrastia: And why should any of this concern you? I am familiar with your ways. The Exterminatus poses no threat to you. You flee to your Webway the instant any threat draws near.
Ronan: You evidently know very little about the Eldar.

"Don't play cards with Qunari — it's impossible to tell when they're bluffing. Don't play against elves, either — they never pay their debts. And never play against dwarves — they'll kill you if they lose."

Gabriella: This is insane! You're acting like a crazy person! This isn't even a war... It's goddamn MANSLAUGHTER!
Four: Hee Hee... Ha ha ha ha ha!
Gabriella: What's so funny!?
Four: Manslaughter... We're fighting elves, remember? So it can't be MANslaughter! Hee hee!
Gabriella: Unbelievable...
Four: Oh, and that's not all! This is a pirate ship, not some pleasure craft! Pirates are evil! And it's FINE to kill evil people! As long as they're not civilians, they're fair game! This is the hammer of justice at work. We're always in the right. Now keep attacking! Move it!

Joker: And what's your beef?
Gorilla Grodd: Man has oppressed apes for centuries.
Joker: Like it matters...

Turian Councilor: Do you take pleasure from committing genocide, Shepard?
Renegade Shepard: Depends on the species, turian.

Un-self-aware turian at a security checkpoint, Mass Effect 2

Shepard: You forgot your chit at Saronis Applications. The clerk is holding it for you.
Volus: Oh. Well... the quarian could've stolen it...
Cop: [to the quarian in question] I'll close this event report, but I'll be watching you. Get a permanent residence or I'll run you in for vagrancy.
Shepard: Are you two serious?
Volus: What?
Shepard: You falsely accused this girl of stealing from you. [gives the volus a none-too-gentle shove] All you have to say now is that she "could've stolen it"?
Volus: Now just a minute—!
Shepard: [grabs the officer by the collar] And you! She gets harassed and insulted by this guy and you throw in a threat to arrest her for vagrancy?!
Cop: How about if I run you in for obstruction of justice?!
Shepard: [contemptuously] You think you're going to run in a Spectre? I think both of you should get out of here...
Cop: Ah, son of a... [walks away]

'"A fox... taking orders from a dog. Is that really how you want to live your life, boy?"
Andross, Star Fox Zero

Raine: Do you mean that Exspheres are made from... human bodies?
Kvar: Not exactly. Exspheres are dormant at first. They extract nourishment from humans to grow and awaken. Human ranches are Exsphere manufacturing plants. Why else would we spend our time raising and taking care of these inferior beings?

"The Dog-People of Prairie should suffer more! A lot more!"
Alicia Pris Alamode, Tail Concerto

"Flesh isn't life. Servos, gyros, and fuel — this is where life comes from! You're defending bi-product at best!"
Megatron to Optimus Prime, Transformers: Devastation

Geralt: Charming world you Aen Elle have got. Could easily fall in love with the place. Tell me, how do you do it? Sit around playing lute, painting rutting unicorns in gorgeous landscapes, building ornately sculpted towers... and then you murder us, without batting an eye, without a hint of guilt. How?
Avallac'h: Do you humans feel guilt when you murder Aen Seidhe elves? Or dwarves? Or dryads? We are the same... simply because we both firmly believe others are inferior.

Boo Shopkeeper: Is it everything you want to keep, skin cake?
Fatguy: Skin cake?
Lenny: Is that like a derogatory term ghosts call the living?
Fatguy: I'm pretty sure we haven't seen 'skin cake' before.
Lenny: Yeah, ghosts call living people 'skin cakes' as a derogatory term.
Dark: Oh wow, I didn't know that.

Ahriman: But instead, why don't we address the grox in the room? We're all fucking human, and/or superhuman, for the most part. And the problem is that things like these still exist. Problems that we, as a species, have to deal with eventually. So let's use this day, each year, to come together as a species and—
Lucius the Eternal: FUCK! THE! ALIENS!
Ahriman: Myeah, pretty much. Let's celebrate what unites us all: xenophobia.

"Pfft... a team of humans? Guess they'll let anyone enter Splatfest now."

Weiss: The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!
Blake: There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!
Weiss: People like me?!
Blake: You're discriminatory!

Red: Her majesty says the name is "Kilani".
Cinder: Right, "Kilani". So, Fuegana—
Kighan: (interrupting) Wait, "Kilani"? You mean they have names? Oh, that is just precious! It's almost like they think they're people!

Perius: Tensions are just high today. Admittedly, you are one of the causes.
Gilou: All I've done is exist at you.
Perius: For many, that's enough.

Hobgoblin Prisoner: Please, I can help you! I hate the greenskins as much as you do! That interloper, Redcloak, locked me up because I roughed up a new immigrant. I can give you information, or... or go undercover for you! Whatever you want!
Peregrine Commander: Interesting. Some people would be suspicious of your offer. They might think that you were a spy, planted to infiltrate the Resistance. Or, as the very least, that you would turn and escape the moment you were able, perhaps even trading what you had learned of us to your leaders in return for a pardon. But see, I have a different view. Do you know why?
Hobgoblin Prisoner: Uh... because you're a nice guy?
Peregrine Commander: No. But I do know that there are Good goblins in the world.
Hobgoblin Prisoner: You do?
Peregrine Commander: Oh, yes. I say so all of the time, do I not, Lieutenant?
Peregrine Lieutenant: Yes, you do, Commander.
Peregrine Commander: In fact, Lieutenant, do I not often expound on the one quality, without which, no goblin can be truly Good?
Peregrine Lieutenant: You have been known to do so, Commander.
Hobgoblin Prisoner: What, like... mercy? Or compassion? Or something?
Peregrine Commander: Why not inform our poor inmate here what that one quality is?
Peregrine Lieutenant: You have often expressed the opinion, Commander, that the only Good goblins—
[the hobgoblin prisoner is thrown off the tower by the Peregrine Commander]
Hobgoblin Prisoner: Aaaah!!
Peregrine Lieutenant: —are dead goblins.
Peregrine Commander: Quite.

"Don't be racist against the abominations of god."

Nail: This is my people's sacred battle ground.
Freeza: We flew over an hour for this? It looks exactly the same as everywhere else on this godforsaken rock!
Nail: [annoyed grunt] Racist.
Freeza: Well, maybe so, but I can't quite be a racist against a race that doesn't exist. Like the Cloffours. Dirty money-grubbing Cloffours. Tried to Clof me right out of my money. Blew those little bastards up is what I did.

Cardsley: Oh. Very nice.
K.O.: But then, we found out you don't let kappas be recognized as heroes! And that's the most messed up thing I've ever heard! [sobs] So fix it, please.
Cardsley: Well, what's there to fix? I mean, why in the world would kappas need Pow Cards?
K.O.: Because! It's bad to leave them out! Don't be bad!
Cardsley: And you're asking we include them for... what, exactly? Drowning people? Honestly, I've never seen a kappa do anything of significance. Heroic or otherwise, they're just little monsters. And though we appreciate your feedback here at Pow Industries, this is the system we've used for decades. There's no need to change a thing.
