* Sam Vimes from the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books may be considered one of these. Vimes is more a misanthrope than a bigot, though he's occasionally described as being biased against ''everyone'', regardless of race or species.
** This is played the most straight with him in ''Literature/MenAtArms'' when the Watch first takes on a troll, a dwarf (apart from Carrot, who's [[ObliviousAdoption only a dwarf by adoption]]), and a [[spoiler:werewolf]], and he's not best pleased. He doesn't do much except act surly in their presence, but since he complained to Carrot, who doesn't really understand keeping secrets, it doesn't stay a secret for long. But he seems to change his perspective soon enough; by ''Literature/{{Jingo}}'' he's pretty much friends with Angua and Detritus.

** Vimes tends to see two kinds of people, Watch officers and non-Watch officers. If you are part of the latter, then he mistrusts you, with only a few exceptions - he mistrusts most races - but if you are part of the former, ''that'' is your race, in his eyes. Originally he considered everyone in the Watch a Watch ''man'' regardless of species or gender, but he got better about that.

Also note that, just as he is even more cynical about humans than anyone else, he is ''far'' more cynical about Watchmen than anyone else. After all, thieves are at least honest about it.

* While Detective Polehaus of ''Radio/AdventuresInOdyssey'' is not racist, he does believe that criminality is InTheBlood and that people with a history of wrongdoing do not change for the better, plus he considers [=ComicCon=] attendees subhuman. However, while he's quick to suspect former criminals or relatives of criminals of crimes, he's willing to admit when he's wrong, and if someone he considers a suspect gives him a lead, he ''will'' do his due diligence and investigate it even if he suspects they might be lying.

* Downplayed with Inspector Fowler in ''Series/TheThinBlueLine'', who isn't really racist or sexist, ''might'' be mildly homophobic, has deep prejudices against some AcceptableTargets like teenagers and the French ... and is a ByTheBookCop who strongly believes his personal opinions have no place in police work. He is sharply contrasted with Inspector Grim, a RabidCop who Fowler thinks has watched too many American police shows. In one scene, Grim begins ranting about all youths being troublemakers and there's a war on the streets, and Fowler retorts that there ''isn't'' a war on the streets, and while he doesn't like young people either, none of the reasons he dislikes them are actually ''crimes''.
