** In "An Entrepenuerist And A Swat On The Bottom" Connie spanks Sheldon for disobeying her and being rude. While in this day and age spanking (especially if it's not your own child) is considered a controversial form of discipline, in the time period this show takes place it was still somewhat acceptable.

** In "The Witchfinders", the Doctor, now in a female body, is subject to this for the first time in 17th Century rural England, when King James I assumes her companion Graham (an older white male) is the Witchfinder General, not her. His bias is so strong that even the psychic paper reflects it! She also gets accused of witchcraft in the same episode, which she believes would not have happened if she was still in a male body.

** A great example happens in an early episode. During a police raid, resident dumbasses Herc and Carver mess up securing a suspect, he mouths off, and they start [[PoliceBrutality beating him up]] on the stoop. Word gets around to Kima, one of the nicer officers and often the OnlySaneMan. She ''immediately'' runs over ... and joins the beating too. Someone who mouths off during a raid is apparently just fair game.

* The TV shows ''Series/TheBorgias'' and ''{{Series/Borgia}}'' are contrasted in an essay [[https://www.exurbe.com/the-borgias-vs-borgia-faith-and-fear/ "The Borgias" vs. "Borgia: Faith and Fear"]] by author and historian [[Literature/TerraIgnota Ada Palmer]]. She talks about what she calls "historicity" (what TVTropes might call DeliberateValuesDissonance) vs "historical accuracy" (what TVTropes might call ArtisticLicenseHistory). Historical accuracy pertains to the details, while historicity is about sensibilities. Both are about as historically accuracy as you'd expect, but ''Borgia'' has far more historicity.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In Louisiana during the early 20th century, there is institutionalized racism and homophobia in the form of racial segregation, anti-miscegenation and anti-homosexuality laws. Louis de Pointe du Lac is an African American, and as a second-class citizen, his options are very limited -- the only section of New Orleans where he's permitted to own and operate his own business is in [[RedLightDistrict Storyville]], but he loses that in 1917 when City Ordinance 4118 shuts down all colored businesses, and to add insult to injury, he's prohibited from buying property in the French Quarter because of his race. While talking with Jonah Macon, a fellow black man, he mentions that they live in a country which makes them use the side entrance. Louis and his Caucasian boyfriend Lestat de Lioncourt are a same-sex ''and'' interracial couple, so [[ForbiddenLove their romance is felonious twice over]], so this [[ClosetGay forces them to remain in the closet]]. Deputy Habersham attempts to intimidate the pair when he informs them that they could spend five years behind bars for "crimes against nature" after he notices that there's only one bed in their master bedroom.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E112NoTimeLikeThePast No Time Like the Past]]", Hanford, one of Paul Driscoll's fellow boarders in Homeville, Indiana in 1881, expounds at length on his views regarding American imperialism at dinner. He believes that the United States will remain isolated and weak if it does not expand its sphere of influence by conquering the Orient and UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} before going back across the Pacific to UsefulNotes/SouthAmerica. Hanford repeatedly says that they must plant the American flag as they go. He also believes that the US government was too conciliatory to the UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans during the Indian Wars five years earlier, describing them as "savages" and "Redskins" who [[GuiltFreeExterminationWar should have been wiped out]] by 20 George Custers leading 100,000 men.

* ''Series/FellowTravelers'': The series highlights not only homophobia in the 1950s, which was pervasive and forced LGBT+ people to stay hidden, but also institutionalized racism and how McCarthyism destroyed many lives in the anti-communist persecution.
