Moving the examples around because Dewey mentions Huey so why not talk about Huey who is also the main character first?
** Huey Freeman is this trope parodied, deconstructed, and reconstructed. He's a self-described domestic terrorist, the founder of several (and mostly defunct) Black revolutionary organizations and a newspaper, is frequently seen quoting figures like Karl Marx and Elijah Muhammad, and engaging in activities like organizing a strikes and protests, all despite the fact that he's 10 years old. He has a tendency to destroy people's fun because of his conspiracy theories and being dead serious all the time, but in the context of the show -- which has a heavily cynical tone, especially towards authority figures -- he's almost always ProperlyParanoid. No one listens to him though, because, you know, he's 10 years old.

He raises a pirate crew of former [[FishPeople fishman]] slaves and espouses their races' superiority in response to humans (and specifically the [[AristocratsAreEvil Celestial Dragons]]') [[FantasticRacism discrimination against them]]. Tiger fought against the human Navy to liberate oppressed Fishmen, but on principle he never killed those he fought against and would still go out of his way to aid individual humans who had been victimized by the World Government[[note]]Such as Koala, a young human who he befriended after rescuing from slavery[[/note]]. While Tiger understood on an intellectual level that good humans existed, he still held a great amount of hatred for them in his heart due to his [[TragicBigot status as a former slave]]. Ultimately, he is killed because his hatred of humans runs so deep that he refuses to accept treatment for a mortal injury because the only blood available for a transfusion is human blood. To really drive the point home, he is contrasted with the queen of Fishman Island, Otohime. While Fisher Tiger believes that the differences between humans and fishmen are irreconcilable and they must live separately, Queen Otohime tried to encourage cooperation between the two races. Otohime's dream was to bring the Merfolk and the Fishmen from the sea floor to the surface where they could join the rest of the world. She believed that by secluding themselves in such an inaccessible area, they were limiting their people's opportunities and allowing them to live in ignorance. In spite of their contrasting ideologies, however, both Otohime and Tiger held a great amount of respect for each other and their work. Both ended up assassinated for their trouble as well: Fisher Tiger [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished after being betrayed by a human village to whom he returned a captured slave]], and Otohime by [[TheFundamentalist a fishman pirate who wanted to stoke anti-human hatred.]] Fittingly enough, Tiger's played by the African-American Creator/GabeKunda in the Creator/{{Funimation}} English dub.
