History FantasticRacism / AnimeAndManga

** Dr. Earl is a RacistGrandpa variant. He is a father figure to [[spoiler:Prince Harlin/Hayato Tate]] and a grandfather figure to Kento and the kids. Out of all of them, he treats Kento with importance since he's an {{Alien Prince|ss}}, while looking down on the rest of the kids and deeming them "burdens". Many episode show that he has warmed up to them, he just won't admit it.

* General Sakamori Miwa of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' is horribly racist to the Balmlings and wishes nothing more than to see them all killed. This culminates when he takes over Daimos and tries to kill them that way, but fails. Ultimately, Kazuya's had enough and beats him within an inch of his life before he's arrested for his crimes. When he appears in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', LaserGuidedKarma hits him even more and he'll even be killed for his actions. On the other side, Balmlings are required by the despot Olban to get indoctrinated by a machine showing humans being bastards and therefore being really racist against them too. The show also averts this with a nation of Utopia, where humans and Balmlings work together for peace and harmony, as a middle finger to their other more racist brethrens.

** In one instance, Namari tells Laios to never buy weapons from a store run by halflings.
** In an omake, it's mentioned one way to avoid mermaids is to bring a halfling on the ship. The halfling, who has sharper senses, will hear the mermaids' song first (and possibly die) while the other crew members steer to safety.
** In one chapter when Marcille asks Chilchuck why he doesn't learn magic, Chilchuck says that halflings who come into possession of magical artifacts often end up being kidnapped by elves, never to be seen again.
** According to Izutsumi, halflings are known as such due to a large number of them having a single foot cut off over thefts.

* ''Manhua/RetiredHeroes'': Demons are treated as AlwaysChaoticEvil monsters, despite being mostly the same as everyone else. There is a story about a group of demon spies masquerading as merchants who were all slaughtered when they tried to infiltrate human lands. Turns out that they were ''actually'' merchants, trying to find new markets because it was still safer than staying in the demon lands.

* ''Manhwa/SkeletonSoldierCouldntProtectTheDungeon'': Everyone attacks the skeleton soldier on sight, which is probably understandable since normal skeletons are mindlessly aggressive. But even when they find out that he can talk and he politely asks them to leave him alone, they still attack.

* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'':
** Dr. Earl is a RacistGrandpa variant. He is a father figure to [[spoiler: Prince Harlin/Hayato Tate]] and a grandfather figure to Kento and the kids. Out of all of them, he treats Kento with importance since he's an AlienPrince, while looking down on the rest of the kids and deeming them "burdens". Many episode show that he has warmed up to them, he just won't admit it.
** Princess Catine of Proxia also hates humans, except Kento, because he's descended from Emperor Palmillion and she wants to marry him for the throne. When she finds evidence that contradicts his Heliosian heritage, she becomes angry and spurns him.
** The Heliosian Generals led by Gascon hate clones, and when they're told Kento is one, not only do they defect to the villain's side, but one ''spits'' on Kento. In fact, clones are so hated, that even if all the alien planets are at war, they all agree that clones are to be looked down upon.
** This is actually the main motive of the GreaterScopeVillain of the series, [[spoiler: who was on the recieving end of it: Emperor Dolmen was born a clone of Emperor Palmillion. Being groomed from a young age to take his place should he ever die, Dolmen was forbidden from leaving his jail cell, tortured whenever Palmion was injured and treated like a lowly slave by the retainers of the Helios Empire. One day he snapped, had the Helios Empire massacred, and aimed to rule the galaxy. Even as he dies, he gives Kento one final DyingDeclarationOfHate and tells him that the generational trauma and wrath of the clones will always live on. Prince Harlin, however, establishes a Republic where all beings are equal, and makes laws where clones are given equal rights, defying Dolmen's words]].

** [[spoiler: Orochimaru points out that the police force made the Uchiha [[CopHater disliked by the general public]] and made the Uchiha conceited by being given the right to enforce the law on other clans. Orochimaru additionally points out the police force is a pretense of why the Uchiha were forced to live on the outskirts of the village as it was excused that the Uchiha should live next to their police headquarters by the Second Hokage. This happened around the beginning of Konohagakure when the police force was created.]]

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': In an early arc, Haku explained that in the Land of Water the powerful and deadly abilities of clans with so-called bloodline limits (special abilities that can't be learned, but must [[SuperpowerfulGenetics inherited genetically]], such as combining [[MakingASplash Water Release]] and [[RazorWind Wind Release]] to create [[AnIcePerson Ice Release]], or having special [[MagicalEye Magical Eyes]]), had garnered fear and hatred from those without such abilities, due to people with kekkei genkai usually being used as soldiers in wars, leading to wide-spread death and destruction. The hatred was so severe that Haku's father was willing to murder his wife and son upon finding out that they had such a bloodline. [[spoiler:The Land of Water's main ninja village, the Hidden Mist, is eventually able to move past this hatred, with its current leader having ''two'' bloodline limits.]]
** The Uchiha in general believed themselves superior to other shinobi simply because they were Uchiha, often reflected in Sasuke's arrogance.
*** [[spoiler: As such, they saw themselves as above the rest of the village and planned a coup d'etat despite being given more power than every other clan ''combined'' via being Military Police. They believed they were unjustly prosecuted and discriminated despite being a well beloved clan and the Second Hokage trusting them to have power over the other Clans. Orochimaru and Obito point out that he and the Elders forced them to live on the outskirts of the village despite 1.) Tobirama had the Uchiha ''headquarters'' on the outskirts of the village due to an already constructed prison being made there-what better facility for their appointed job? 2.) The Uchiha weren't moved anywhere during the interim between the attack on Konoha by Obito and the massacre-they had the exact same place, thus they weren't forced to the outskirts either. The Uchiha had more than enough power and even had a Hokage Candidate in the form of Uchiha Kagami (a Uchiha that Tobirama not only respected but chose as a personal bodyguard and student), were beloved and respected throughout the ''entire village'' and finally could continue to be shinobi. Orochimaru and Obito's summations shouldn't be taken seriously given they were ''both'' trying to influence Sasuke at the time. It all comes down to power, the Uchiha [[AmbitionIsEvil weren't satisfied with what they got and wanted more]].]]

* ''Anime/MarvelDiskWarsTheAvengers'' breaches the topic of {{mutant|s}} hatred that's common with its source material. However, the kids just genuinely don't get why people like [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] (a god), [[Characters/AntManHeroes Wasp]] (a normal human with science-fueled abilities), ComicBook/IronMan (a guy in a suit) and Franchise/SpiderMan (combination of accidental powers and science-y stuff) are touted as heroes and yet mutants are regarded so negatively.

** Catine also hates humans, except Kento, because he's descended from Emperor Palmillion and she wants to marry him for the throne. When she finds evidence that contradicts his Heliosian heritage, she becomes angry and spurns him.

* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': When Planet Helios was invaded and destroyed by the evil Zaal Empire, Emperor Palmillion ordered Dr. Earl to escape with his son, Prince Harlin. Earl obliged and took the boy to Earth, where he set up his cryo-sleep device to awaken them both in 50 years. [[spoiler: Somehow, this malfunctioned, and Harlin awoke much earlier than he should have while Earl remained asleep. Harlin was found by a kind Japanese couple who gave him the name "Hayato" and raised him as their own. He grew up believing himself to be of Japanese heritage like his parents, and forgot his memories of being born as the Prince of Helios. He only found out the truth when as an adult, after his ship was wrecked and he was saved by a fellow Heliosian who told him of his true heritage.]]

* The people of the Ceres slums of ''Literature/AiNoKusabi'' are discriminated against for being born in an area cut off from society with no chance for a future. It is so bad that the [[LegoGenetics genetically engineered]] [[TheBeautifulElite class of Elites]] in their CrapsackWorld don't even consider them to be human but wild animals.
* ''Literature/{{Akikan}}'' has aluminum and steel cans (the cans are [[MoeAnthropomorphism cute girls]] here) holding some deep prejudice against each other. The first time this comes to light is when Melon and Yell begin slinging insults at each other based solely on the material they're made out of. The fact that this type of [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne competition]] is encouraged doesn't help.

* In ''Literature/BlackBullet'', the Cursed Children are a race of lolis born with the Gastrea virus in their blood and are able to manipulate the virus that grant them superhuman powers. This is the same virus that turned most of humanity into EldritchAbomination. Some cursed children are used as "Initiators" for civil security companies and paired with "Promotors." However, cursed children are treated with severe discrimination in human society and are feared and hated as if they were Gastrea. Cursed children are often faced with violence, abuse, and even PoliceBrutality and genocide. Some cursed children are even sold into {{sex slave}}ry or used as slaves and child soldiers (especially in the Middle East) and governments have passed draconian laws that strip cursed children their basic rights to the point of Jim Crow law level segregation.

* In ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', several espers and the higher ups of Academy City look down on [[{{Muggles}} Level 0s]], seeing them as worthless. Several Level 0s, particularly members of Skill-Out, hate espers, usually due to jealousy and/or being bullied. Several people from the magic side hate espers, because espers are of science.
** It says a sad, sad lot about what the administration thinks of Level-Zeroes when the city's prison and ''graveyard'' is located where Level-Zeroes live.

* In ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'', Saika is a [[EvilWeapon sentient katana]] that is deeply in love with humanity. It hates all non-humans, even the [[CuteMonsterGirl adorable]] [[HeadlessHorseman Celty]], even though [[{{Hypocrite}} it isn't human either]].

* In ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'', a war between humans and [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] in the distant past caused both sides to consider the other evil barbarians. In addition, elves hate and fear beings who wield [[PowerOfTheVoid Void Magic]] and their familiars, considering them to be servants of the Devil. Tiffania really has it rough as she is a HalfHumanHybrid ''and'' has Void Magic. [[TheHero Saito]] defends her and helps the others see that she is just a girl like them. Several human and elf characters have CommonalityConnection moments.

* ''Literature/TheGeniusPrincesGuideToRaisingANationOutOfDebtHeyHowAboutTreason'': Most countries in the western part of the continent discriminate against the Flahm and enslave them. The exceptions are Natra and Earthworld, both of which allow Flahm to rise to high positions of power.

* Downplayed in the backstory of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD''. The Devil race has suffered a severe depopulation thanks to the GreatOffscreenWar, and as such, reincarnated humans are being used to fill out the ranks. Rias explains that at first, reincarnated devils were seen as second-class despite legally being able to hold any position a pure-blooded devil could. However, the [[ChessMotifs Evil Piece]] system encouraged high-class devils to value and eventually respect the reincarnated devils under their command. By the start of the series, most devils will respect anyone who proves capable in the position they've been assigned, and openly being a dick to reincarnated devils for that reason alone is considered a faux pas even among the pure-blooded upper echelons.
* In ''Literature/ImTheEvilLordOfAnIntergalacticEmpire'', the people of the empire where protagonist Liam Banfield live almost universally look down on all AI, especially androids, because at some time in the past there was an AI rebellion. This causes Liam problems because his ParentalSubstitute is the Android maid Amagi, he treasures her, and does '''not''' tolerate any insults he hears about her. His friends have to be warned that he will not hesitate to use lethal force against any who do so, not even them.

* In ''Literature/TheLegendOfTheLegendaryHeroes'', those born with [[MagicalEye Cursed Eyes]] are heavily subject to this. Going by some characters' personal experiences and one character's recounts of what he's seen, children born with such eyes are generally persecuted, sold to/abducted by the military, used as test subjects, and killed, often alongside their parents -- if their parents weren't the ones doing the killing. Conversely, a fair number of Cursed Eye bearers are prejudiced towards humans right back.

* ''Literature/TheMisfitOfDemonKingAcademy'': Emilia Ludowell is one of the worst examples of the discriminatory attitudes towards hybrids and humans. While most purebloods at least tolerate their existence despite scorning them, she sees anybody that isn't a pureblood demon as unworthy of even existing.

* In ''Literature/ReZero'', half-elves are sometimes treated differently, [[spoiler:because Satella, the jealous witch, was a half-elf, according to legend]].
* In ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', Melromarc heavily discriminates against {{demihuman}}s and [[BeastMan beastmen]], to the point that they are legally considered monsters and many are enslaved. In contrast, the neighbor country of Siltvelt is a demihuman country that discriminates against humans -- save for the Shield Hero, who is considered a religious figure that, in the past, championed equality between all species.
* In ''Manga/RisingXRydeen'' most people tend to be fearful and cautious around strangers since a lot strangers have [[PowerIncontinence unstable powers]] that can cause a lot of damage. If that's not bad enough, a good number of them use their powers for nefarious purposes.
** Mikan was shunned by most of her classmates, including her best friend, when she became a stranger with electric powers and couldn't stop accidentally electrocuting things.
** When students from Takara's school find out he's a stranger they immediately start gossiping about him.
** Ruri's dad left her and her mom after Ruri became a stranger.

* ''Literature/SeireiGensoukiSpiritChronicles'': Any beast-person who wanders into human territory is at risk of being turned into a slave. In turn, the Spirit Folk races view humans as dangerous, though Rio is able to earn their trust.

* Friction exists between all of the races in ''{{Literature/Slayers}}'': the dragons and the ''Shinzoku'' (Holy race) that serve the Gods, the ''Mazoku'' ("evil race") that serve the Demons/Monsters, and [[OurElvesAreDifferent Elves]] all either scorn humans or manipulate them in some way or another (the first two are rather obvious, wile the Elves feel superior because they have a better innate talent with magic than many humans do). Meanwhile, most of the sub-human races (Beastmen, Berserkers, Fish-people) are either peaceful, subservient, or also scorned upon by the other three, as well as humans; the Fish-people in particular are often exploited for [[ButtMonkey comedy relief]]. The ones that gets the worst of it, however, are chimeras.

* ''Literature/SoImASpiderSoWhat'':
** The majority of demons are physically identical to humans, they have the same food, similar architecture, and similar social structure. The biggest difference is that demons tend to be superior in terms of stats. Despite this the two races have been trapped in a ForeverWar that has left both sides exhausted and hurting solely due to the animosity between the two races.
*** The start of this war was driven by racism. After the collapse of the ancient civilization, the demons who [[spoiler:had used MA to evolve from normal humans]] were persecuted by humans. When this escalated to violence, the demons rallied together for self-defense.
** Goblins are a monster race but they have a religion worshipping the same deity as humans, close-knit families, and a deeply spiritual view of life. However they aggressiveness when hunting has led to humans and demons viewing them as threats. Entire villages, including the children, are wiped out by "[[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide subjugation]]" teams.

* A major theme of ''Literature/TrinityBlood'' is that vampires and humans can and should stop fighting and live in harmony.
* ''Literature/TwoAsOnePrincesses'' has it on two fronts. The country where the story starts and takes place is human supremacist, which explains why the fantasy staple races are missing from the narrative, and people are also discriminated on what Jobs they get from the gods at age 10. Particularly "disappointing" jobs like [Song Princess] can trigger riots and lynching.

* In ''Literature/WorldEndWhatDoYouDoAtTheEndOfTheWorldAreYouBusyWillYouSaveUs'', humanlike races, or "disfeatured", are often discriminated against. This is due to humanity being blamed for the apocalypse that destroyed most of the world and forced the remaining races to flee to the floating islands they now inhabit.

* ''Anime/YuriKumaArashi'' has one between humans and bears. Bears simultaneously see humans as bears and enemies [[spoiler:and bears who admit to being a friend to humans will be isolated from the group]]. Humans, however, see bears as things that must be hunted down and protected from at all costs [[spoiler:and anyone [[WitchHunt they suspect of fraternizing with bears]] will be systematically hunted down, have their pillars of support removed, lynched, used as bait, and eventually killed]]. Its all a metaphor for Lesbians.

Several human and elf characters have CommonalityConnection moments.

* ''Series/{{Kikaider}}'' had a discussed double example of this, combined with a fantastic version of HalfBreedDiscrimination. A villain, who is an android in the shape of a vampire or a golden, mechanical, humanoid vampire bat, says that being an android is similar to being a bat in this respect, claiming that androids were not quite machine or human, but disliked by both and that a bat was not quite rodent or bird, but also disliked by both (the jury is still a bit out on that last one).

** Those with mutation Quirks tend to face various levels of racism in more rural areas than cities if they appear less human. Spinner joined the League of Villains under Hero Killer Stain's ideology of purifying Hero Society in order to deal with this issue, being harassed for his lizard appearance. [[Spoiler: Shoji of U.A's Hero Course revealed he was badly scarred by his old human villagers because of his Dupli-arms Quirk, with even some classmates casually comparing him to an octopus.]]
