->"A beth din is a council of elders that presides over matters of Jewish law. ''(to Snot, who is Jewish)'' Yours is a rich and fascinating culture '''which we despise'''."

* Jeronimo in the ''TheBaroqueCycle'' is to begin with a Spanish nobleman and proud of it, and thus given the setting, would likely be one with a low opinion of those of other races and religions. He also has TourettesShitcockSyndrome which within the book is treated like a DemonicPossession which makes him reveal his true thoughts. Thus, you get Jeronimo becoming close to his fellow escaped galley slaves and when he declares his loyalty to his {{nakama}}, he states (paraphrased) "[[CrossesTheLineTwice You niggers, kikes, and camel jockeys are the only friends I've ever had!"]]

* Snape from HarryPotter... sort of. He joins the Death Eaters despite the fact that his best friend(and love)is Muggle-born, but he never really believes in their cause(and he quits after some time) - though he has some serious problems with racism([[FreudianExcuse probably partially due to his at least verbally abusive Muggle father]]), he doesn't believe in SocialDarwinism, torture or murder.

* In the ''{{Animorphs}}'' special book ''Visser'', Visser One displays this towards humans during her trial. Given the flashback format, it's pretty transparent (even to the tribunal, which is able to see her memories).

* Fred Tupper from ''Series/LittleMosqueOnThePrairie'' regularly rants about Muslims (often accusing them of being terrorists) on his radio show but has no problem with: going to a Muslim doctor, watching a football game with a room full of Muslims, and eating halal food from a Muslim-owned cafe. In fact, he seems to have something of a friendship with Fatima, the cafe-owner. He's certainly shown that he cares about her (though, whether he's romantically interested in her or not is a YourMilageMayVary subject).
** Justified, in that he really doesn't hate them... for their religion. A flashback episode shows that he started as a radio host who was looking for a subject he could use repeatedly. Fatima herself suggests talking about Muslims, to which (to paraphrase Fred) he replies: "Interesting, but what would be my angle? I mean, am I for ya or against ya?" (somewhat jokingly). Cue Baber entering the diner and introducing himself by grabbing Fred from behind, causing his coffee to spill all over himself. "Never mind, I think I know". It's clearly played for laughs, and no one really believes it. Keep in mind that Baber himself is the most conservative of the Muslims on the show, and yet has no problem being in the company of most of the cast (including liberal Muslims and non-Muslims).

* Belkar, the HeroicSociopath from ''{{The Order of the Stick}}'', ostensibly has a deep-seated [[strike:racism]] speciesism towards humans (and kobolds, and... well, anything besides himself, really), but he has at times shown a grudging respect for Roy, and was more than willing to join the rescue effort when Elan was captured by bandits. He has also expressed occasional sympathy for Haley and admiration for Lord Shojo. Furthermore, he has no qualm at all against banging human women.

If X and Y are the same, then the trope is BoomerangBigot.

* Mike from {{Shortpacked!}} spends just as much time trolling his targets to "prove" that he or she is racist, as he does finding out what your identity is to apply some bigotism to it.

** So she's like a FoxNewsLiberal, [[DisSimile just being a Nazi instead of a liberal, and not on Fox News,]] [[MetaPhorgotten but on...?]]

** Land-dwelling troll Equius isn't genocidal, but certainly talks a good deal about blood color. Not only is he perfectly happy to help out lower-blooded trolls, his closest friend is towards the middle of the blood hierarchy, and his girlfriend is ([[RobotGirl sort of]]) at the bottom. [[spoiler: Subverted when Gamzee, who outranks him, goes nuts. Equius doesn't bother fighting him, because it's the highblood's right to kill him.]]

* [[GranTorino Walt Kowalski]] has more in common with his Hmong neighbors than his own family, despite spouting every slur in the book. Then again, he has a slur for everybody, including his fellow white man, and takes ([[NWordPrivileges not to mention uses]]) a few for his own Polish background.

* Off the top of my head, Speaker-To-Animals from ''{{Ringworld}}'' could stand out as a ProudWarriorRaceGuy variation.

* Sam Vimes in ''{{Discworld}}'' supposedly has a high degree of FantasticRacism, but this almost seems like an InformedFlaw in order to invoke the {{Noble Bigot with a Badge}} idea. In any case, the Watch he commands contains men, women, dwarfs, trolls, a werewolf, a zombie, a golem, a vampire, gnomes, [[TheIgor an Igor]], gargoyles, at least one local equivalent of a Jehova's Witness, a government auditor, and Nobby Nobbs.

** You forget they do try to ditch Cartman and they are happy when he's not around.

* Baron Helmut Zemo from MarvelComics was the son of a Nazi and very much a racist and supremecist. That didn't stop him from having people of other ethnicities and races on his super-villain teams, though. One could argue that he was just using them, but either way he was still quiet about it all, compared to how he spoke about CaptainAmerica's black partner, Falcon, or his Jewish (and gay) friend, Arnie. To cement the irony, he even had a French guy on his team at least once. And his father, a full-blown Nazi, once had a Chinese villain, Radioactive Man, on his team of super-villains (later, Helmut would have the same, now-reformed man on one of his heroic teams as well). Eventually, during his very rocky proto-redemption, he slept with a Jewish teammate who was "secretly" trying to stop his XanatosGambit.
** Of course Helmut was never as bad as his father to begin with.He's also mainly an AntiVillain these days.

* ''[[JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League Elite]]'' communications and intelligence expert Naif al-Sheikh complains repeatedly that he hates Superheroes, Women, <s>Americans, Non Arabs, Christians</s> and anyone else that tests his rather limited patience. The fact that his best friend Vera Black is a white, female, punk rocker ex-supervillain mean such complaints end up falling rather flat however, especially since he eventually ended up getting himself arrested because he couldn't bring himself to harm her.
