* Generally speaking, it's a common assumption in the fandom that the earth ponies -- the least outwardly magical pony breed -- suffer discrimination from pegasi and unicorns, and that other species such as changelings and griffons receive discrimination from ponies in general. Numerous FantasticSlurs are also recurring; "mud ponies", for example, is one commonly used for earth ponies, as is "dirt ponies". Unicorns are sometimes referred to as "narwhals", "pinheads" or "screwheads". "Featherduster" and "featherbrain" have cropped up for pegasi. Zebras have been referred to as "ziggers". And in the same way humans sometimes call ponies "horses", ponies sometimes call humans "monkeys" or "apes".

* This is enforced in ''Fanfic/MetalGearGreen''. The HPSC has crafted a society where people who end up on the shit end of the genetic lottery are constantly screwed over by society until they become villains the heroes are supposed to stop or commit suicide. As long as it brings in fuckloads of cash, the HPSC doesn't bother fixing it.
** Spinner was heavily discriminated because his Quirk makes him look 'freakish'. These range from dead lizards pinned to a wall, bricks hurled through his window so often he never bothered replacing them as it'll get broken again and having very little to no job opportunities. Had he not found the MSF logo, he would've been DrivenToVillainy or DrivenToSuicide.
** Fudaki views rescue heroes as nothing more than worthless and utterly pathetic positions, threatening Ochako that if she doesn't drop out of the Hero Course, [[ImpliedDeathThreat she will regret it.]]
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for the MSF, as to them, Quirk or no Quirk, war comes for them all.

** AntagonisticGovernor Maxwell refers to the Quirk-user teenagers as "biological weapons" and as far as he's concerned, the fewer of these superhuman "freaks" that existed, the better. [[spoiler:He also refers to Luz as "[[PowerParasite the parasite]]" after finding out about her Quirk.

Luz had suffered bullying and isolation from her classmates after gaining spider-powers and the Franchise/XMen have had to liberate ''mutant slave-camps.''

General clarification on works content


* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]'', being a crossover between ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', inherits this from both sides. It is, of course, most obvious amongst the Imperium's InvadingRefugees; when they conquer one Republic world, they set up [[FinalSolution death camps]] to genocide the visibly non-human inhabitants, whilst the Crimson Razors Chapter launches a genocidal campaign through Separatist space. When a viewpoint Imperial soldier named Farnus wakes up as a prisoner in a Republic medical camp in episode 41 part 1, being surrounded by alien doctors and medi-droids, both of whom are essentially Satan figures in the Imperium's mythos, is so terrifying to him that [[BringMyBrownPants he loses control over his bladder in sheer fear]].

** Ron shows shades of this due to being a firm believer of the Light. He holds outright racist views towards magical creatures like Hermione (and even before, viewed Hermione as a toy for him to get as a reward), shows deep resentment and hatred towards Slytherin students, and despises the ICW laws that protect Hermione. This constantly causes him endless amounts of failure because Emily, her circle of friends and even three of his siblings can see his true colors.

* In ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMagicOfTheBeasts'', Magical Britain is this in spades to magical creatures, non-magical people and first-gens. It's also [[DeconstructionFic deconstructed]] as this type of racism and blatant mistreatment of a vast majority of the citizenry has resulted in Magical Britain being excluded from all events, barring Quidditch, due to both the systematic discrimination and nature rendering life for a first-gen or magical creature in Magical Britain very difficult.
** This is why Hermione has to use glamour charms to hide her status as a Nekomata in the first two years of Hogwarts. If her status came out, the British Ministry would execute her for being a half-breed. Harry showing Fudge the permanent, irrevocable laws of the ICW that protected magical creatures like Hermione is what forces Fudge to back off trying to execute her.
