History FantasticRacism / WebComics

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'', interestingly, mostly averts this. There's ''lots'' of racism, but usually it's the regular kind--humans hating other humans for their race/nationality/caste--even though there are plenty of sentient humanoid lizards and other weird beings to arbitrarily despise. One of these lizards is pretty unpopular, but that's because he's a psychotic BackAlleyDoctor; most of them aren't like him.

** Dan, as an adventurer, hates demons. Especially [[HornyDevils succubi and incubi]]. Learning that he's an incubus himself only ''worsens'' it, making him [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_383.php hostile to anyone who wants to teach him how to use his powers]], fearing that they will "make him like them" a la TheVirus. [[StrawmanHasaPoint To be fair]], most of them ''are'' {{Card Carrying|Villain}}ly evil, mainly because they're powerful. The nice ones are the exception. (His first would-be teacher, Aaryanna, [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_384.php isn't]] exactly [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_386.php subtle]] about what she expects Dan to use his powers for, and [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_337.php Lorenda's mother]] has a [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_343.php blatant might-makes-right philosophy]]). Of course, as [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_658.php Abel explains]], most Cubi are jerks because they were raised like that, not because they're Cubi. Dan and Abel are obvious examples, since both were raised as Beings and neither is evil.

** Some [[LiteralMetaphor bad apples]] [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1605 decide to beat up on some oranges as foreigners.]]

* In ''{{A Mad Tea-Party}}'', humanity is united at last, but there sure is a lot of racism against aliens and genetically engineered people.

* In ''[[Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'', Dan, as an adventurer, hates demons. Especially [[HornyDevils succubi and incubi]]. Learning that he's an incubus himself only ''worsens'' it, making him [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_383.php hostile to anyone who wants to teach him how to use his powers]], fearing that they will "make him like them" à la TheVirus.

* ''WebComic/DragonBallMultiverse'': The Vargas don't seem to have a very high opinion of humans. In particular, [[HypocriticalHumor they think all]] [[YouAllLookFamiliar humans look the same]].
* In ''DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-35.htm goblins are monsters, not people -- which drives Mango to ask why.]]

* In ''{{Endstone}}'', the higher animals are a LittleBitBeastly and indeed, interfertile with humans. [[http://endstone.net/2009/07/10/issue-2-page-3/ They're still butchered for meat.]]

* In ''ExterminatusNow'', Eastwood's attitudes toward the people of anyplace he's not from are... undiplomatic... to say the least. Needless to say, [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2009-01-17/comic/big-trouble-in-little-taika/bloody-tourists/ this does not go down well with anyone]].
** Although, as Virus put it, Eastwood isn't racist, [[IdiotHero he's just really]] [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2010-01-19/comic/little-trouble-in-big-taika/ignoramus-now/ ignorant and stupid]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' is built around this trope. The "goodly" races, such as humans and elves, hate the goblins and all other monster races. In turn, most goblins also hate humans ([[spoiler: the White Terror has a [[JustifiedTrope perfectly good reason]] for this though]]). The central characters of this story have, through their battles with each other and their own kin, come to question these distinctions.
** The recent arc has revealed the deeper difficulties involved in overcoming this inherent prejudice, namely that the "monster" races tend to be very different from the "good races" on fundamental levels. For a human from a society of monogamous relationships, finding out the usual method of reproduction for the Yuan-ti is essentially a giant ball of males try to impregnate a single female is a bit much.

* In ''{{Harkovast}}'', every race is even a different species and generally mistrust the other races. Sometimes they can have children between them, and the "half-caste" offspring are left with the [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Harkovast/index.php?p=531094 dilemma]] of following one side or the other's culture, where they might not be accepted in either.
* The Trolls in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' have a caste system based on blood color, with red being the lowest and purple the highest. Equius, a literal blue-blood, considers himself superior to the other trolls and is conflicted about his feelings for red-blooded Aradia. Ironically, Gamzee, the third-highest-ranking of the twelve trolls by blood color and Equius's direct superior, is a lovable idiot with [[{{Juggalo}} rather base tastes for a member of the aristocracy]] and doesn't seem to care about class.

*** Eridan's best friend Feferi, whose blood is literally the highest-ranked shade of purple in the history of existence, believes the hemospectrum is arbitrary and meaningless and shouldn't inform one's interactions with other trolls. She's heard Eridan's aquatic-supremacist rhetoric so much that their first in-story conversation starts with her cutting him off and giving him a lecture about the fundamental equality of all trolls regardless of hemochroma or habitat before he can start in on another tiresome rant.
** A fan once pointed out how illogical it is that the difference between the highest and lowest possible blood colors would be nothing more than a fraction of a shade. The author responded that of course the system is irrational. Racism isn't supposed to make sense.
*** That said, there are numerous physical differences between the warm- and coolbloods, most notably the latter having a far greater lifespan and resistance to PsychicPowers than the former (though it's the warmbloods who possess PsychicPowers at all, with very few exceptions). [[spoiler: It comes up in the pre-[[ResetButton Scratch]] troll universe, where there's more of a condescending (and vastly irritating for some) WhiteMansBurden thing going on rather than outright oppression and culling.]]

*** Trolls are bigoted towards pretty much all other sentient races in general, with the Condesce trying to conquer the galaxy using her psionically-powered starfleet. [[spoiler: Act 5 Act 2 reveals that in the Pre-Scratch universe the trolls were an extremely tolerant and peaceful race. This was viewed as making them unsuitable for winning in Sburb because they weren't competitive enough. After the Scratch was activated Lord English, Doc Scratch, and the Condesce manipulated and twisted the trolls into being a race of violent xenophobes to try and make them more aggressive and thus more likely to win the game and follow Lord English's plan.]]

* {{Webcomic/Hotblood}} has humans and centaurs living in close proximity, so this is bound to happen, FantasticSlurs included.
* Ancients in ''ImpureBlood''. Now concentrated on the hybrid descendants. [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter007/ib041.html Though Elnor thinks Roan should make the effort.]]
* In ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' there is tension between the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]] of planet Butane and the Nemesites who rule them, as depicted [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20090728.html here.]]
* In WebComic/{{Intragalactic}}, Androids and Snaffets are not considered "people"; Androids can have their ''children killed in front of them for not doing their jobs properly'', and Snaffets are considered vermin. In fact; Scratchi (The TeamPet) was orphaned when her mother ran afoul of a mousetrap.
* In ''TheKennyChronicles'', Tarneckis (genetically engineered [[FunnyAnimal human-like animals]] created by pirate scientists) aren't allowed the same rights as humans and the attitude that they shouldn't is apparently prevalent enough that [[http://www.kennychronicles.com/2008/08/28/fail/ claiming your political opponent supports giving them rights constitutes mud-slinging]]. Is it any wonder why the majority of Tarneckis live on cruise ships where humans aren't allowed.
* In ''KevinAndKell'', there's a lot of prejudice between herbivores and carnivores (arguably somewhat justified, what with one group habitually eating the other), with the central couple's 'mixed marriage' causing a lot of consternation in polite society at first - though there's indications of a growing acceptance in society. (That, or the writer's just run out of racism-based jokes.) Of interesting note is the perspective of a human from our world who accidentally fell into theirs (and got furry-fied on the way) - she more or less states outright that the human world's version of Kevin and Kell were an interracial marriage, and later, when noticing that this world has exactly zero prejudice based on sexual preference, comments that a society apparently only has room for so many irrational dividers.
* ''TheLawOfPurple'' has the planet Caligula, where skin color is random, there are barely any sort of religious traditions, and the culture is as non-sexist as a sexually dimorphic species can get it. So they divide themselves into two races based solely on ''ear shape'', and "2nd Kind" are generally condemned to live in horrendous conditions as a result.
* ''LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes'' has [[http://superredundant.com/?p=523 this]] [[SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX strip]] (not to mention [[http://superredundant.com/?p=560 this]] one).
* In ''Linburger'' {{Demi Human}}s are treated as second class citizens, and are heavily discriminated against. They even have to surrender a seat on the subway if a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything human wants their seat]]. Likely related to their hedonistic lifestyles.
** Most ironic, is that the [[OurElvesAreBetter Cyll]] used to live in upper class society. Then Gotterdamerung happened, the Cyll lost their power, and now they live the way do. Unknown if the other DemiHuman races had a similar origin.
* In ''TheLydianOption'' Hodges is a member of the Terran Brotherhood - a racist group of humans, and believes in a conspiracy to use human genes to create human-alien hybrids.

* ''MyMiddleNamesAdventure'' has Winston the Dragon [[http://www.doublepuma.com/adventure/comic/0022/ complain]] about [[OurDragonsAreDifferent the world's stereotypical view on dragons]].

* Spoofed in [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/07/07/hardware-conflict/ this strip]] from ''TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'', with gay not-{{Transformers}}.
* Played for laughs in ''NuzlockeComics''. Since Unova is a Type-2 EagleLand, they tend to employ national stereotypes towards other regions. For instance, Johto residents drive up phone bills and Hoenn natives are obsessed with water and brass instruments. PoliticalCorrectness is a regular topic, especially given that main character Ruby is from Hoenn and ends up [[StopBeingStereotypical exhibiting a lot of the usual traits.]]
* In ''OffWhite,'' a snow leopard refers to humans as "wretched apes." Also some of the humans really don't like wolves.
* In ''Webcomic/OrangeMarmalade'' humans aren't overly fond of vampires. They've been able to live in society for around two hundred years and aren't how they used to be due to the lack of human blood, etc. But many people refer to them as blood-sucking murderers and say how they should all die out.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' uses this in several ways. Redcloak, TheDragon, is a goblin, and treats hobgoblins like dirt until one saves his life - he then becomes a goblin''oid'' supremacist (Technically, he says he hates ''all'' Humans equally, admitting that he may be a ''species''ist, he never wanted to be a ''rac''ist). Wizards, who gain magical power through study, are contemptuous of sorcerers, whose magic is a genetic gift and of clerics whose magic is a gift from the gods. And in the ''Start of Darkness'' print {{prequel}}, it's revealed that [[spoiler: the AlwaysChaoticEvil races are that way because they were specifically created by the gods to be defeated, and their ultimate plan is an attempt to create equality for themselves]].
** In a purely comic example, Celia(a winged humanoid)'s retort to Haley calling her an "airhead" is "Hey! There's no need for racial slurs!"

** I don't believe it's ever been referred to as actual racism, but TokenEvilTeammate Belkar seems to really, ''really'' hate kobolds.
*** Belkar has two emotions: Hate and Lust. Most things fall under the former category, so it makes sense that he would hate Kobolds.

* From ''RegularGuy'': admittedly, the Queen of Planet Ninurta is in a conventional same-sex relationship. It's just somehow ''weirder'' when it's aliens, and they have to destroy the Earth to distract from it.

* In ''{{Sinfest}}'' some [[LiteralMetaphor bad apples]] [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1605 decide to beat up on some oranges as foreigners.]]

* Genetically engineered life forms (the "transgenic community") face prejudice (at least among people who [[WeirdnessCensor aknowledge they even exist]]) in the {{Narbonic}}verse. ''SkinHorse'' is about the Black Ops Social Services trying to help them.

* The [[LightIsNotGood "light"]] side of the supernatural (consisting of mages and angels) in {{Sorcery101}} ''really'' hates the [[DarkIsNotEvil "dark"]] side (consisting of everyone else), to the point where for members of the Mage Council the penalty for fraternization with a dark creature is death. This creates problems for mage Ally when she marries a werewolf and has a werewolf daughter. Then there's Pat, a former mage turned vampire who, although he has maintained his FantasticRacism after decades of [[BoomerangBigot being what he hates]], continues to prefer living to dying.
** Also, vampires traffic in shapeshifters. As in, literally sell them at auction.
* In ''{{Spacetrawler}}'', the Tornites were legally declared non-sentient by the galactic government because of their terrible fashion sense. Similarly, the Eebs are exploited because it's so lucrative; to make this easier, the government claimed their lack of willpower makes them non-sentient.

* Most of the backstory of TwoKinds revolves around the three main races hating each other. Humans and anthropomorphic animals, for one, hate each other or see each other as ugly. Seen pretty well [[http://twokinds.keenspot.com/archive.php?p=720 here.]] Spoilers ahead.
* ''UglyHill'', has the minority one-eyed monsters discriminated against by the majority two-eyes.
* ''{{Webcomic/Unsounded}}'', interestingly, mostly averts this. There's ''lots'' of racism, but usually it's the regular kind--humans hating other humans for their race/nationality/caste--even though there are plenty of sentient humanoid lizards and other weird beings to arbitrarily despise. One of these lizards is pretty unpopular, but that's because he's a psychotic BackAlleyDoctor; most of them aren't like him.
* ''{{Yamara}}'': "[[http://yamara.com/yamaraclassic/index.php?date=2005-12-26 There's no racism like fantasy racism. Like no racism I know.]]"
* In ''TheZombieHunters'', people who get scratched by zombies or are infected with their blood or saliva become "infected", but not zombies, so long as they don't die and aren't actually bitten. Although technically there isn't supposed to be any racism between infected and uninfected, it's actually extremely common, with infected living separately from uninfected, often being pressured into taking dangerous jobs such as going into zombie-infested territory (as they can't be infected again) and being forced to wear armbands publicly identifying them as infected.
* In ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-bit Theater]]'', Black Mage has made the claim that White Mages cannot understand the experience of a Black Mage due to all of the discrimination against Black Mages because of the color of their spells.

* ''PennyArcade'' made a [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/09/03 strip]] about the subject, lampshading the tendency for it to be very-thinly-veiled versions of real-life racism.

** The Condesce drives humanity to extinction because she finds human reproduction distasteful and tried to force them to follow Trollian mating practices. She's also a horrible ruler to the Carapaces, though Dirk surmises (correctly) that she probably wasn't much nicer to her fellow Trolls.

* ''FrogRaccoonStrawberry'' has a little fun with this when Strawberry is seen by Marco, a real frog. He calls her "speciesist" and [[spoiler: shows up later in a raccoon costume. Strawberry is not offended at all.]]

* In ''[[Webcomic/DominicDeegan Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire]]'', prejudice against orcs is commonplace, as seen [[http://dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-05-11 here]]. Luna, a human with unusually large lower canines, has suffered spillover racism on occasion as well (her teeth look like orc tusks... at least to humans; orcs can easily tell the difference). That's the only thing she has in common with orcs, but nobody said racism was ''rational''.

* In ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-bit Theater]]'', Black Mage has made the claim that White Mages cannot understand the experience of a Black Mage due to all of the discrimination against Black Mages because of the color of their spells.
** Let's not forget how Thief [[ElvesVsDwarves feels towards the Dwarves, and vice versa]]. To the point of practically ''egging Black Mage on'' whilst they were in Dwarfland, and not objecting to all the destruction taking place. Then again, Thief never rally does seem to object to the violence/crimes committed by The Light Warriors...

* {{Webcomic/Hotblood}} has humans and centaurs living in close proximity, so this is bound to happen, FantasticSlurs included.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Strays}}'', [[http://www.straysonline.com/comic/154.htm Holland contacts Feral to deal with a man preaching discrimination and murder.]]

%% This list of examples has been alphabetized. Please add your example in the proper place. Thanks!

* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': There is a ''lot'' of tension between [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]]. It's so bad that one KnightTemplar angel actually attempted to kill another angel, as well as an old friend of his, simply because they were protecting their friend (a demon). It's not as prominent, but Medians aren't too fond of demons either, and there is mention of some friction between the various Median species.
