* Yukiji from ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' hates youkai with a passion, going as far as to throw parties when she hears that one of them is being hunted down. [[spoiler: This becomes awkward when Tomoe, a LittleBitBeastly {{Kitsune}} starts to fall in love with her.]]

*** [[spoiler: As such, they saw themselves as above the rest of the village and planned a Coup D'Tat despite being given more power than every other clan ''combined'' via being Military Police.]]

* In TheLegendOfTheLegendaryHeroes, those born with [[EvilEye 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.

* In a major case of AllThereInTheManual, it's revealed that the ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''-based alien race, Juraians, have a major thing against humans, most likely due to their "backwater" nature (seeing as humans still don't have FasterThanLight travel). This is one of the major reasons Yosho took off after Ryoko - he didn't want to deal with all of that and intended to send someone else in his place.

* Done in both the manga and anime versions of ''FullmetalAlchemist'', with the persecution and attempted genocide of the Ishvalan people. They are visually identifiable by their red eyes and dark skin, and various characters use hats and sunglasses to 'pass'. Several aspects of the Ishvalans' portrayal hint more specifically at a metaphorically Islamic culture: their vaguely Middle Eastern dress, Ishval's desert landscape, and their monotheistic religion and the tensions arising from its prohibition of alchemy and the Amestrians' contrasting dependence upon it.

** It really shows up in the Japanese version of the first movie, where Mew says that the clones should die and are inferior to the originals.

* The people of the Ceres slums of ''LightNovel/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.

* In ''ArmitageIII'', the title character is a RidiculouslyHumanRobot (in fact, she's so ridiculously human [[spoiler: she can even reproduce]], which is a plot point) working to investigate murders (of victims who turn out to be similar RidiculouslyHumanRobots) with a partner who's prejudiced against robots and cyborgs due to one causing the death of his previous partner. He is injured, and [[KarmicTransformation repaired with robotic prosthetics]]. Of course, he gets an {{Aesop}} about tolerance, and eventually [[spoiler: marries his mechanical partner]].

* [[RealityWarper Rustyrose]] from ''FairyTail'' declares that all non-wizards are trash and deserve to die. When Elfman expresses disgust at this and says that wizards and regular people have to work together for the common good, Rustyrose calls him a fool and says that Elfman and his friends are trash as well.

* ''SoulEater'' has a bit of this, although it is mentioned only in passing. However, it is directly stated in ''SoulEaterNot'' that ordinary humans fear Demon Weapons greatly, hence the law that anyone displaying those abilities must attend the DWMA until they are certified safe for society. Soul, the second protagonist, comes from an all-human family of musicians, and they were apparently "surprised" when the youngest family member turned out to be a living razor. Based on Soul's self-esteem issues related to his weapon blood, their unhappiness is inferred.

* ''OnePiece'' has a complicated example with the Fishmen and the Mermen, humanoid beings that also show characteristics of an aquatic animal. Since the "aquatic animal" part is almost random and they have a lot of possible combinations, neither the Fishmen nor the Mermen discriminate against each other by distinctive traits such as their fish parts. Because of this, is perfectly normal for them that an octopus Mermaid reproduce with a shark Merman and a eel Merman be born as the result, that's also why they can't understand why the Humans classify each other in groups. But even if those species don't discriminate amongst themselves, they do discriminate against other races. Specifically, the Fishmen believe that they're superior to all other races, especially Humans, but that's also complicated because of the discrimination that the Humans have in the One Piece world against them and the Mermen.
** To be fair, not all Fishmen and Mermaids believe that they're ''superior'' to humans or other races, only certain extremists, though the overwhelming majority does hate and distrust the human race.

*** Taken to the extreme by Hody Jones, who is is so racist [[spoiler: that he's willing to have hundreds, if not thousands, of fishpeople and merpeople murdered for wishing to be on civil terms with humans. This includes the much-beloved Queen Otohime, for being the figurehead of the movement.]] The real kicker: he flat out admits that [[spoiler:humans have never done anything bad to him personally. He's simply internalized the Fishmen's prejudices against humans.]]

* ''{{Kikkaider}}'' 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).

* [[DigimonSavers Kurata]] fullstop. He hates Digimon to the point where he warps Digimon data so that it can [[spoiler: be used as a weapon to introduce genocide in a word that does not know death.]] Of course, this takes place before the series starts; in series, his racism just [[spoiler: causes more genocide, medically alters people, and sets off a chain of events that nearly causes the end of both worlds.]]

* In ''DigimonFrontier'', before the start of the series there was a war between human and beast Digimon which Lucemon stops. In the movie there is an island where a civil war between the human and beast Digimon there, which was perpetrated by a Digimon who can slide digivolve from human and beast forms to awaken Ornismon.

* ''{{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.

* Witches in ''RosarioToVampire'' are hated both by humans and youkai, since they're considered [[HalfHumanHybrid half-breeds]], and [[TragicMulatto neither side trusts them.]] CuteWitch Yukari gets this treatment during her first appearance (manga ch. 5), although part of it comes from [[BrattyHalfPint her tendency to play magical pranks on others]].

* ''{{Kikkaider}}'' had a discussed double example of this, combined with a fantastic version of TragicMulatto. 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).

* This trope is the core of the conflict between those with PsychicPowers known as the Mu and normal humans in ''Manga/TowardTheTerra''.

** A lot of monsters also seem to believe that {{humans are bastards}}.

* Kind of the point in ''ElfenLied''. Although Diclonii ''are'' an actual threat to humanity as a species, from what we're shown it's humans who cause a lot of the threat, combined with the simple fact that children should not have weapons.

* ''Superior'' has humans and monsters gleefully killing one another.

** Uzumaki Clan was attacked and finally destroyed, because their sealing techniques were widely feared.
