History PoliticallyIncorrectVillain / Literature

* ''Literature/SnowCrash'': At one point, Hiro (who is half-Asian, half-black) encounters a white supremacist who hurls racial slurs at him. Hiro asks why the man and his friends don't hang out at the New South Africa franchise nearby if they hate minorities so much, to which the man responds that they can't beat them up there.

* Mostly averted in ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'', where the [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero heroes]] are the politically incorrect faction and fight wars against such politically correct nations as the liberal [[StrawmanPolitical New South]], environmentalist [[EvilLuddite Cascadia]] and LGBT-friendly [[LadyLand Azania]], among others. However, there is also a [[PuttingOnTheReich neo-Nazi]] villain state, offering an example.

** Oddly enough, Uncle Vernon is very "old school" but isn't outwardly racist. He believes in the death penalty, corporal punishment, is anti-intellectual, and is vaguely homophobic (he doesn't want a "Nancy" for a son), but he genuinely likes having Kingsley Shacklebolt, who's black, as his bodyguard. Then again, Kingsley is one of the very few wizards in the story who can actually blend in with Muggle society, so Vernon might just be willing to look the other way for that reason.

** [[TheDreaded Voldemort]] is a thinly veiled [[ANaziByAnotherName Hitler-analogue]] whose plan includes hunting down muggle-borns and enslaving and murdering muggles.

* In the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books, anyone racist is going to be evil. Most of the Slytherins are bigoted against {{Muggle}}s, with [[RivalTurnedEvil Draco Malfoy]] serving as the first one we meet in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone The Philosophers Stone]]''. [[TheDreaded Voldemort]] is a thinly-veiled Hitler-analogue whose plan includes hunting down muggle-borns and enslaving and murdering muggles. One of the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} racists in the story is [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Dolores Umbridge]], who treats anyone without a pure wizarding heritage as a lesser being, and anyone with a mixed-human heritage as something to hunted down and whom the Ministry of Magic assigned to Hogwarts in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix The Order of the Phoenix]]'' as an authority. [[spoiler: She ends up becoming TheQuisling just to have an excuse to have Muggle-borns locked up. According to WordOfGod, this earns her a life sentence in Azkaban after the events of ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]''.]] Oddly enough, Uncle Vernon is very "old school" but isn't outwardly racist. He believes in the death penalty, corporal punishment, is anti-intellectual, and is vaguely homophobic (he doesn't want a "Nancy" for a son) but he genuinely likes having Kingsley Shacklebolt, who's black, as his bodyguard. Then again, Kingsley is one of the very few wizards in the story who can actually blend in with Muggle society so Vernon might just be willing to look the other way for that reason. Although not aligned with Voldemort in any way, Rita Skeeter is a very antagonistic character who all but says [[AllGaysArePedophiles that Dumbledore is a pedophile]].

* ''Literature/{{Zorro}}'': All over the place.

** ''Icon'': The Union of Patriotic Forces are a fascist movement based in UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia, which is growing quickly fast enough that British and American intelligence are afraid may soon be elected to run the country. (What sets off the plot is the discovery of "The Black Manifesto," a secret UPF memorandum detailing their political program when they get into power, a program that involves, among other measures, the extermination of Russia's ethnic minorities).

* Fairly common in the ''Literature/JackRyan'' series. In this case, the villains' political incorrectness is intentionally contrasted with their progressive identities, showing them to be hypocrites who mouth slogans they don't actually believe.

** ''Literature/TheSumOfAllFears'': Similar setup, except that the American radical is a Native American, and his bigoted foreign partners are Arab (Palestinian) Nationalists. In this case, the Arabs are not only left-wing radicals but believing Muslims, with the attendant prejudice against what they view as a "pagan."
** Downplayed in ''Literature/WithoutRemorse''. The two main villains are from different backgrounds, Henry Tucker a black gangster running a drug dealing and human trafficking organization, and Tony Piaggi an Italian-American gangster whose [[TheMafia Mafia]] contacts allow him to distribute them. Both of them have the expected amount of racial prejudices towards each other; however, they largely keep it to themselves and don't allow it to get in the way of business. One of Piaggi's underlings, Eddie Morello, is a lot more open, resenting the feeling that the syndicate is valuing a black man more than himself and making no secret about it. This comes back to bite him ''hard'' when members of Tucker and Piaggi's organizations start turning up dead, as both of them quickly conclude that Eddie must be acting on his resentments and arrange to have him eliminated. [[spoiler:He was actually innocent, and the murders were being committed by the ''very'' pissed off - and Navy SEAL trained - ex-boyfriend of a prostitute that had tried to run away from their organization.]]
** The Chinese Politburo in ''Literature/TheBearAndTheDragon''. Prejudiced against essentially all religions, as per the Communist Party's doctrine of state atheism: the people we see persecuted are Chinese Christians, but allusions to the violent suppression of other religious groups like the Falun Gong or Tibetan Buddhists are also made. Their racial prejudice is less plot-relevant, but present nonetheless, though they're not exactly the only ones guilty of it in Chinese society. And then there's the misogyny, with even the sympathetic ones expecting sex from the female secretaries.
** Finally, while it'd be hard to pin it down to a single character or book, the entire Soviet system is shown to be fairly rife with prejudices; Arabs and Muslims, including those within the Soviet republics, are dismissed as savage and trustworthy, Jews and Balts are largely denied advancement in the system, and the less said about their view of black people, the better.
* ''Literature/TheKillerAngels'': Not who you'd expect. Most of the Confederate characters arguably qualify, though both their views on slavery and their villainy are heavily downplayed. A straighter example is Arthur Fremantle, the British observer assigned to the Confederate Army. He comes to wholeheartedly embrace and romanticize the Confederate cause, seeing it as a rejection of everything that's bad about America, which is embodied by the other side. It isn't the North's abolitionism he dislikes, however (he tends to frown on slavery even as he glosses over it), but its indifference to ethnic purity and class distinctions:

** The EstablishingCharacterMoment for the BigBad, Rafadel Moncada, involves him striking Bernardo in frustration after something Diego did. He's [[EvilCannotComprehendGood stunned]] when Diego reacts by challenging him to a duel on the spot, as he couldn't conceive of an assault on a servant deserving such a reaction.

** The secret society La Justicia basically exists to fight such people: it was created two hundred years earlier to help shelter Jews, Protestants, and other accused heretics from UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition. The issue has abated in recent times, but La Justicia has simply broadened its mandate to include fighting other forms of oppression, such as Napoleon's invasion of Spain, or slavery in the colonies. It's no surprise that Diego eagerly joins them (and it's under their tutelage that he first becomes Zorro).

** A lot characters in the series are classist, even the sympathetic ones. Fitting, given that many of the point-of-view characters are literal gentry. But few go beyond the pale quite like Tywin Lannister, who routinely disparages the smallfolk of Westeros in word and deed. He is personally responsible for overturning protections provided for the peasants of Westeros by a previous King during his tenure as Hand of the King, and his rhetoric of not seating "dogs" at the high table is contrasted by Eddard Stark's practice of seating a lowborn subject at his table so that he might govern his realm better.

*** Randyll Tarly is extremely abusive to his very un-macho eldest son, Samwell. He first tries to arrange a "hunting accident" for Sam, and when that didn't work, sends him to the [[ReassignedToAntarctica Wall]], even making him study to be a [[TheMedic maester]] is more appropriate for [[NonActionGuy him]], because being a maester is unmanly. Randyll also victim-blames [[ActionGirl Brienne of Tarth]] when she becomes the subject of TheBet.
