| 16 | '''Klansman:''' Wh-wh-wh--\ |
| 17 | '''Jesse:''' ''Where the fuck is your chin!?'' |

| 20 | The Sub-Par Supremacist is a character (often a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain villain]]) who advocates the supremacy of Group X over all others, but is himself a very bad spokesman for the group ([[TheWarOnStraw to the point of caricature in some cases]]). For example, a klansman of the [[TheKlan Ku Klux Klan]] who is also a stereotypical BasementDweller ''still'' considers himself superior to the happy and successful African-American family next door, simply because he's white. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Should the character succeed in his ideological goals becoming the norm, he is often the first victim of a karmic OriginalPositionFallacy. May lead to StopBeingStereotypical, PretenderDiss, ContemptCrossfire, CulturalCringe, or YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame from other, more representative members of the group the character is part of. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Sometimes, the character's reason to be this way can be [[HiddenDepths more than]] a simple narrative {{Irony}}. He may in fact be a supremacist [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex precisely because of his low self-esteem]] and use the AssociationFallacy to appropriate the achievements of other people of his kind. Though how this grows into hatred of other groups is usually due to external factors. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Note that just because a Sub-Par Supremacist is good or skilled in certain fields doesn't disqualify him from being one. For example, a powerful state leader might still claim to be superior (and will often be a believer of "[[TheSocialDarwinist survival of the fittest]]") but still not be in position to call others inferior. Also, note that while [[AllOfThem all]] supremacists are despicable, not all of them are examples of this trope. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | For when the character claims moral superiority over a kind he deems evil even though he's actually not much better than them, see HeWhoFightsMonsters and VanHelsingHateCrimes. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Use of this trope may result in the UnfortunateImplications that BeautyEqualsGoodness. Contrast FlawlessToken, where a minority member is shown as superior to all other characters and DefectorFromDecadence where a character turns against their side because they find it mediocre. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Compare AssociationFallacy and EvilMakesYouUgly. Contrast {{Hypocrite}} and YouAreWhatYouHate. When taken to the extreme, see BoomerangBigot. See also AngryWhiteMan, AdolfHitlarious, BigotryException, VeryPunchableMan, and WickedPretentious. Can go with GodwinsLawOfFacialHair, where the toothbrush mustache is associated with mocking Hitler and evil authoritarians. |

| 41 | |
| 42 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 43 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Downplayed. Izaya loves humans and dislikes monsters, either feeling indifference or hatred for them, even going so far as to declare war on Saika. However, while it's noted he's attractive and intelligent, everyone ''despises'' Izaya for his utterly deplorable personality, and even the BigBad, [[spoiler:Kujiragi]], is more well-liked than him. Izaya is also likened to a monster masquerading as a human. |
| 44 | * ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'': The Creature Rejection Clan are a group of fundamentalist villains that discriminate against those with Mutant Quirks. As they became increasingly radical in their beliefs, their public support weakened and they dramatically shrunk in size and it's implied the group is mainly full of an older crowd. When the League of Villains break into their mansion looking for things to steal, they easily trounce the CRC members and discover that they are just barely getting by and have hardly anything of value. |
| 45 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 46 | ** Arlong is a [[FishPeople Fish-Man]] supremacist [[FantasticRacism hugely racist against humans]] who constantly extols the superiority of his people to anyone facing him. Later developments reveal that he's little more than a craven racist [[TheBully bully]] who, after getting pulverized twice while trying his luck in the Grand Line, realized how outclassed he was there and decided to run to the East Blue (the "weakest" ocean in the setting, due to the average bounty being 3 millions or so) to set up shop because he knows the chances of anyone being able to pose a threat to him there are slim to none. Rather than putting in the hard work to get stronger so he won't lose again and achieve his ambitions in the Grand Line where it would actually matter, Arlong just took the easy way out and lived them out in the One Piece equivalent of a backwater, becoming literally a NormalFishInATinyPond. |
| 47 | ** Arlong's former superior, Hody Jones, isn't much better than Arlong, despite extolling the same anti-human virtues and being in the Grand Line instead. Despite amassing an army of a hundred thousand fish-man troops, Hody Jones is on the receiving end of multiple {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s. First, Luffy takes out fifty thousand of his troops with Haki, and the Straw Hats basically manhandle the rest. Then, Hody Jones gets taken out by Zoro [[OneHitKO in one hit]] while the both of them are underwater, when Hody's physical abilities are all enhanced and Zoro's are all reduced. Then, after taking energy steroids to enhance his physical strength, Luffy still mostly flattens Hody Jones during the final battle of the arc. [[spoiler:To make Hody come off as even more pathetic, it's revealed in an exchange that occurs between himself and Prince Fukaboshi that Hody Jones was just reared to be a bigot. [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence Hody's never had a bad experience with humans personally]]; he was TaughtToHate due the environment he grew up in. Fukaboshi immediately sends out a mass-communication admitting that Hody's grudge is "one without substance" as he ends up DisappointedByTheMotive.]] |

| 51 | * One UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era joke describes the Aryan ideal as "broad like Himmler, tall like Goebbels, and fit like Goering", and another "as tall as Goebbels, as thin as Goering, and as blond as Hitler".[[note]]Himmler wasn't athletic, Goebbels was relatively short and lame, Goering was overweight, and Hitler had brown hair[[/note]] |
| 52 | * Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges has a routine where he describes some graffiti he saw for the British National Party, paired with a swastika. And, next to it, several failed attempts at drawing a swastika. |
| 53 | -->'''Kevin Bridges:''' They'd obviously misjudged the complexity of the operation. |
| 54 | [[/folder]] |
| 55 | |
| 56 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 57 | * ''{{ComicBook/Blacksad}}'': In ''Arctic Nation'', white fur stands in for white supremacy, with TheKlan-equivalent's iconography being [[ANaziByAnyOtherName a Nazi flag with the swastika replaced by a snowflake]]. |
| 58 | ** When one goon tries to intimidate Blacksad (a black-furred cat with a white chin), Blacksad stands up to reveal he's a head taller than the goon, and easily sends him flying behind the bar. |
| 59 | ** One prominent member of the Arctic Nation has a son with severe intellectual disabilities, strongly hinted to be the result of inbreeding. |
| 60 | * ''ComicBook/TheBoys'': Uncle Dreams is a shameless white supremacist who also happens to be ancient (he was one of the first supers), demented (he can't remember if he fought "the niggers or the Nazis"), and unable to control his bowels. |
| 61 | * ''ComicBook/CaptainMarvel'': Captain Marvel, Jr.'s archenemy Captain Nazi bears a DuelingScar marring his otherwise handsome face. He's bitter about it because he's supposed to represent the Aryan ideal but has an obvious flaw. |
| 62 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': In the Halloween special of the Dynamite comic continuation, the Quarrymen are bullying anyone who dress up like a gargoyle. When actual gargoyles show up to fight them (two beasts and a kid no less), most of them panic and run away in fear ([[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome as, with the exception of a few thugs and trained mercenaries who have fought gargoyles before, most of the Quarrymen membership is drawn from everyday ordinary civilians]]). |
| 63 | * Creator/GarthEnnis's UsefulNotes/WorldWarII plots often involve Nazis insisting on the "Master Race" shtick even as the post-D-Day Allies are plowing through whatever resistance the remaining German forces can put up, while usually being shorter/scrawnier/more brutal than the Allied soldiers they're talking to. |
| 64 | * ''{{ComicBook/Hellblazer}}'': |
| 65 | ** The Highwater arc, set in the rural U.S., features a gang of neo-Nazis who use Uzis (a machine gun invented by an Israeli). |
| 66 | ** The same arc features the gang's leader Gage, a homophobic white supremacist given a SadisticChoice by the BigBad S. W. Manor: either he or his daughter perform oral sex on Manor. At the end of the story, we see Gage went through with it... and his daughter immediately disowns him for being a homosexual. |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/LockeAndKey #4: Keys To The Kingdom'' introduces Parsons, a bigoted [[OrderliesAreCreeps orderly]] at a local mental hospital. On top of being a racist scumbag who clearly thinks himself superior to the mentally ill patients he's supposed to be looking after, he's not exactly the picture of physical ''or'' mental superiority. [[FatBastard Obese]], corrupt, stuck in a dead-end job and sporting an absolutely ridiculous facial tattoo, he's also [[FatIdiot pretty stupid]]: during a conversation at the bar, he firmly believes that [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] would win in a battle with [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]], and even when his friend points out that Freddy is a NightmareWeaver and Leatherface is just a BadassNormal, Parsons sticks to his belief that raw physical strength would automatically win out over knives. [[spoiler: After tricking Parsons into getting him access to Erin Voss's room, [[BigBad Dodge]] firmly proves the orderly wrong by stabbing him in the back and letting him bleed out.]] |
| 68 | * ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'': "A Cowboy In The Cotton" has Luke inherit a massive cotton plantation in Louisiana just after the Civil War ends. He immediately declares his intent to divide the property among the former slaves, but is opposed by the former landowners in the region, all of which are either vapid and ugly {{Southern Belle}}s swooning over the hero who's killed so many Indians, or UpperClassTwit Klansmen (one of whom has [[ExtraDigits twelve toes]], hinted to be from inbreeding). Making it all the more obvious is that Luke works with the historical black sheriff [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_Reeves Bass Reeves]], who is as competent as Luke himself. |
| 69 | * ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'': |
| 70 | ** Jesse unmasks a bunch of Klansmen and finds that they're almost all scrawny, balding, unattractive middle-aged losers, one of them even lacking a chin, their leader has a fetish for sniffing seats, and the only one with actual muscles is taken out in a CurbStompBattle before he can even take a swing at Jesse. |
| 71 | ** And then there's Odin Quincannon, a scrawny weak little man with huge glasses that [[TheFriendNobodyLikes even the other Klansmen find annoying to be around]], due in part to his constantly repeating "Boy do I sure hate niggers". The only reason he's tolerated is that he runs the meatpacking plant that keeps most of the town employed, and is later shown to [[spoiler:have built a "meat-woman" out of animal carcasses, which he talks to and has sex with]]. |
| 72 | * ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'': |
| 73 | ** "War Zone" features Elite's son, a rich entitled UpperClassTwit who [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence feels oppressed]] by anyone not a [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASP]], and whose racist viewpoint sections are full of MoralMyopia with zero self-awareness whatsoever. He cooks up a plan to make Frank think Ma Gnucci is BackFromTheDead, and when Frank finds him with little effort he's typing his manifesto, unable to even draw a gun as Frank shoots him. |
| 74 | ** Danby is a white supremacist who's fat, stupid, and incompetent, yet works for ScaryBlackMan Barracuda. In ''ComicBook/FuryMyWarGoneBy''; Barracuda [[BlackIsBiggerInBed dick-slaps Danby to knock him on his ass]], and says that [[TeenyWeenie when Danby is able to do the same to him]], then he will admit the superiority of the white race. |
| 75 | * ''ComicBook/TheRabbisCat'': Almost every European who shows up is a fat/scrawny, sweaty, asshole (and often some kind of pervert) claiming the superiority of their country/race/religion. One of them gets bitchslapped in public by one of the Jews he's insulting and can't even fight back. And then there's the Tintin {{expy}}, who's full of CondescendingCompassion ''at best'' when he's not shooting animals at random. |
| 76 | * Dr. Otto Octavius from ''ComicBook/SpiderManNoir'' is a solid deconstruction of the trope. As a fervent Nazi supporter, Octavius despises those he deems as "lower races" and has a particular disdain for black people. His attendant panels make it clear that his racism stems less from ideology and more from resentment of how he grew up surrounded by healthy black children and teens who could live a normal life, whilst he was a chair-bound invalid with dwarfism. He eventually gets to meet the Nazis he practically worshipped only to get insulted and rejected because he doesn't fit their definition of a MasterRace. |
| 77 | * In ''ComicBook/SupermanSmashesTheKlan'', the leader of the Klan is [[spoiler:the portly Dr. Wilson.]] While he is indeed intelligent, he recruits [[spoiler:the Chinese Dr. Lee to help him develop weapons to kill Superman.]] Justified in that [[spoiler:[[StrawHypocrite he doesn't actually buy into the rhetoric he spouts]] and started the Klan as a money-making scheme.]] |
| 78 | * ''{{ComicBook/Transmetropolitan}}'': |
| 79 | ** One man proselytizing for a church of Norse gods is dressed like a BarbarianHero, but is short, skinny, and wears NerdGlasses. |
| 80 | ** SocialDarwinist politician Bob Heller is a bit on the short side (the showgirls introducing his speech are nearly twice his height), with "a really punchable face" in Spider's terms. |
| 81 | * In ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', the more racist a character is, the more defective they are. |
| 82 | ** At the lower end of the spectrum, Bunny Etheridge and Conrad Heyer are government tools with poor nerves. |
| 83 | ** Toward the middle, Richard Almond's bullying behavior and Louis Prothero's boorishness are masks for Almond's impotence and Prothero's cowardice. |
| 84 | ** And at the top, Adam Susan is both a vile racist and an imbecilic manchild, barely able to function without his computer system to tell him what to do. |
| 85 | [[/folder]] |
| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 88 | * ''Fanfic/CreateYourOwnFate'': |
| 89 | ** The Circle, a Bajoran ultranationalist terrorist organization, pretty much [[AdolfHitlarious gets used as a walking punchline]] throughout the middle part of the story. First, some Circle-affiliated high-school students pick a fight with Sheri Walford, whom the Circle thinks is [[NoTrueScotsman insufficiently Bajoran]], and succeed only in getting their asses thoroughly kicked and the cell broken up by the Bajoran Militia when they respond to the police call about the fight. |
| 90 | --->'''Sheri Walford:''' ''[[GratuitousForeignLanguage khốn kiếp, nghiêm túc?]]'' I just thought they were just a pack of townie assholes... |
| 91 | --->'''Kanril Eleya:''' They ''are'' assholes. |
| 92 | ** Then a larger Circle cell is used as patsies by [[spoiler:a shapeshifted Undine]], and mounts an armed uprising in the city of Hathon that the local Militia regiment crushes with only nonlethal weapons in less than an hour. |
| 93 | ** [[spoiler:The Undine]], which itself believes itself an example of a superior race, [[spoiler:gets captured alive by a CrazyPrepared Kanril Eleya, who criticizes the imprisoned alien in a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for freaking out and blowing the cover of itself and multiple [[TheMole assets]] when things didn't go its way]]. |
| 94 | * ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'': All of the Meta Liberation Army members believe that a person's worth is tied to said person's Quirk - the stronger the better. Many of their soldiers have "weak" Quirks that would put them at the bottom of the social ladder should they win. |
| 95 | * ''Fanfic/TaylorHebertMedhallIntern'': This is zigzagged with the Empire's employees. While some are incompetent weaklings, others can be intelligent, hardworking, and live up to the Aryan ideals of masculinity and strength. [[spoiler: However, when several Empire members reach out to Taylor and Greg, both see their claims to racial unity as a total sham and have no interest in joining]]. |
| 96 | * In ''Fanfic/WishCarefully'', the Death Eaters believed their pure magical blood made them superior to the half-bloods, Muggleborns, and Muggles, being utterly ignorant of how they're actually pretty inbred. This is, in turn, weakening their magical powers as well as their intellectual capabilities. By the time Lucius is narrating everything, the Death Eaters' society has degraded to the point of being a teachable example to the rest of the magical world's purebloods of how unsustainable and self-defeating such an ideology is — Magical Britain's economy has completely collapsed due to a massive loss of skilled workers and human capital, their population is continuously in decline with each new generation turning out more Squibs than the last, and many of their descendants are so magically weak that they're close to being Squibs anyway. In the world of the fic, the Death Eaters wished to have a world where they were in charge and that they would never have to deal with Muggle-borns, blood traitors, Squibs or Muggles ever again. [[GoneHorriblyRight They got what they wanted]]. It's just that they'd all been so eager to get rid of the Light supporters that [[DidntThinkThisThrough the Death Eaters didn't think about the logical conclusions to what they wanted]] until it was too late to back out of the deal. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 100 | * ''Film/AmericanHistoryX'', a film centered around Neo-Nazi gangs, is chock full of these. |
| 101 | ** Seth, Derek's neo-Nazi comrade, is an obese, slow-witted, and perverted loser. He's so inept, he can't even kill Derek while holding him at gunpoint. Granted, it was GangstaStyle, but Derek still easily disarms Seth and openly mocks what an idiot he is. |
| 102 | ** Cameron, Derek's EvilMentor, talks tough about white supremacy and solidarity among the whites. But Cameron is a power-hungry DirtyCoward who will throw his followers under the bus to save his own skin. Derek outright calls him a chickenhawk, and then sends Cameron to the floor with a single punch. |
| 103 | ** The Aryans Derek encounters in prison yell at Derek for hanging out with a black guy, [[{{Hypocrite}} but they're all too eager to do business with a Mexican drug gang]]. And when Derek calls them out for this blatant hypocrisy, they proceed to [[PrisonRape rape him]] in the shower. This incident is what opens Derek's eyes to how much white supremacy relies on [[InsaneTrollLogic twisted logic]] and [[AppealToForce threats of violence]].[[invoked]] |
| 104 | ** The fact that Derek himself [[AvertedTrope averts]] this made him a prime target for Cameron's efforts to turn him into a "white power messiah". He's intelligent, articulate, and athletic, [[TragicBigot being driven to racism by the murder of his father]]. He's also the only neo-Nazi in the film who has an epiphany and [[TheAtoner turns away from it]] (along with his brother Danny, but he's really just following Derek's lead). |
| 105 | * ''Film/{{Becky}}'': In the movie, a neo-Nazi group breaks into the summer house of a little girl. With one exception, the group is composed of rather dumb and out-of-shape men, [[spoiler:all of whom get overwhelmed and killed by a little girl]]. Said exception, a tall, ruggedly handsome, and muscular man named Apex, is a case of EvenEvilHasStandards and actually loathes what the group is doing, doesn't want to kill the people he's being forced to kill by Domnick, [[spoiler:and drops out of the group altogether when he gets fed up with how evil the group is]]. |
| 106 | * Deconstructed in ''Film/BlacKkKlansman''. Ron/Flip first meets the local chapter of the KKK, who are all pretty much this trope. Then he has the dubious honor of meeting David Duke himself, who is pretty much the opposite - charming, polite, intelligent... But still as racist as his pathetic underlings. He is well aware of the fact that people like them are hurting his "cause" and works on rebranding his organization into something seemingly more respectable and palatable. What's worse, this is TruthInTelevision; David Duke did indeed put a lot of work into making white supremacy more mainstream and many of his tactics are now used by elements of the alt-right, though younger racists like Richard Spencer look down on the Klan and see David Duke as a washed up fool. |
| 107 | * ''Film/BlazingSaddles'': To a man, the racists in the film are depicted as bumbling fools, easily outwitted by the black Sheriff Bart and his washed-up ex-gunslinger deputy, Jim. To show how stupid these people are, Bart [[StopOrIShootMyself held himself hostage]] and the racists genuinely believed he was in danger and in need of help. |
| 108 | -->'''Jim:''' You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... Morons.[[note]]The last bit was an ad-lib by Creator/GeneWilder that Creator/CleavonLittle [[{{Corpsing}} couldn't help laughing at]].[[/note]] |
| 109 | * ''Film/CSATheConfederateStatesOfAmerica'': For white supremacists, the Confederate powers-that-be are culturally inept (since much of the vim and vigor we get in real-world American culture comes from black and/or foreign influences), and the country they run is both economically and politically inferior to Canada, which actively embraces racial and ethnic diversity. |
| 110 | * ''Film/DjangoUnchained'': |
| 111 | ** The Regulators are a proto-KKK of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=843Q5-6j5Zw breathtaking incompetence,]] trying to ride horses in masks with eyeholes that don't fit, arguing over whether or not to wear the masks, and ending up blundering straight into a trap set by the heroes. |
| 112 | ** Calvin Candie is a slave owner with [[WickedPretentious delusions of culture]], such as naming his slaves after characters in ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'', but is incapable of speaking French and unaware that the author was black (by the standards of the time, as Creator/AlexandreDumas' grandmother was black). It's made very clear that the real brains of the outfit is Stephen, [[TheQuisling the head house slave]]. |
| 113 | * ''Film/DontWorryDarling'': Despite presenting himself as a strong and influential figure who will lead the Victory Project to change the world, Frank's power doesn't go any further beyond the boundaries of his own simulation. While he has dedicated members, he has far less reach and influence in the real world as his presentation would suggest, and it's heavily implied that his real world counterpart is simply a misogynistic nobody spouting his outdated views on an obscure podcast. In the climax he can do little to stop Alice when she ultimately tries to escape, and he's easily killed by Shelley, who then takes over the project. |
| 114 | * In ''Film/FallingDown'', the only person VillainProtagonist Bill directly kills is a Neo-Nazi running an army surplus store. His EstablishingCharacterMoment is terrorizing a gay couple browsing his merchandise, but he's implied to be a case of ArmoredClosetGay himself as he dresses in ManlyGay fashion and graphically fantasizes about Bill suffering PrisonRape at the hands of a [[BlackIsBiggerInBed black man]]. |
| 115 | * ''Film/GlassOnion'': Duke is a vocal men's rights activist who goes off on America for being supposedly subordinated to women instead of "alpha males", like Duke envisions himself to be. Despite having a decent physical build, [[TestosteronePoisoning Duke's attempts to come off as macho just make him look pathetic]], such as FiringInTheAirALot with his gun at random, which impresses no one. In addition, [[BoisterousWeakling Duke still lives with his mother and is submissive to her]] (which makes Duke a {{Hypocrite}}), and he's deathly allergic to pineapple but doesn't keep an epipen on him. [[spoiler:Duke also makes his girlfriend Whiskey sleep with Miles after coercing her to do it, all so that Duke can get back in the good graces of Miles, a man half Duke's size. This ends up making Duke a literal cuckold, a further point against him as an MRA as "cuck" is a common insult in those circles, meaning a weak or feminine man. Finally, despite claiming that he wants to be prepared for anything as the reason why he carries a gun everywhere, Duke's lack of preparation for his aforesaid pineapple allergy is what ultimately kills him, which makes Duke come off as an even bigger idiot.]] |
| 116 | * ''Film/KnivesOut'': Grandson Jacob is called an alt-right {{troll}} and a Nazi by everyone but his own parents. He's a weedy, skinny kid who barely speaks during the movie, is called out for being [[InternetJerk too much of a coward to back up his opinions offline]], and is accused at one point of "joylessly masturbating to pictures of dead deer" in the bathroom. The family in general, all of whom are suspects in the murder of patriarch Harlan, are mostly self-absorbed, vain, loutish, ineffectual, and at the very least casually racist toward immigrants such as Harlan's nurse Marta. |
| 117 | * ''Film/TheProducers'': Franz Liebkind is a proudly card-carrying NSDAP member and ex-German Army soldier... who lives in a dingy apartment in New York City raising pigeons, drinking schnapps, and writing odes to Hitler's glory, all while living in terror of investigation by the US government. Even [[spoiler:his attempted murder of Max and Leo for inadvertently turning ''Springtime for Hitler'' into a comedy satirizing UsefulNotes/NaziGermany]] is PlayedForLaughs because he's so incredibly ''[[IneffectualSympatheticVillain bad]]'' at it. |
| 118 | * ''Film/{{Race}}'' is a sports drama about Jesse Owens, the black athlete who won four gold medals at the Olympic Games hosted by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany. After he gets first place in one event, he isn't congratulated by Hitler [[SoreLoser for obvious reasons]]. (This is a case of CommonKnowledge: while Nazi Germany's treatment of blacks was overall mixed to negative,[[note]]Germany had colonies in East Africa before UsefulNotes/WorldWarI and therefore a small black German minority. The regime set up special concentration camps for mixed-race residents, and often treated African and black American [=POWs=] almost as badly as they treated Slavic [=POWs=].[[/note]] historically, after Hitler gave personal congratulations to several German and Finnish gold medalists in the first few days, the IOC told him he could either congratulate ''all'' the gold medalists or none at all; he chose the latter. Despite this, Owens himself recalled Hitler waving to him from the stands after his wins, and was more insulted when he was snubbed by President Roosevelt for political reasons: FDR maintained segregationist policies to avoid alienating Southern members of his party, the Democratic Party.) |
| 119 | * ''Film/VHS94'': The "Terror" segment shows a group of [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic far-right militants]] intent on making a terrorist attack on a federal building [[spoiler:using vampire blood as an explosive]]. They're all portrayed as out-of-shape, dumb hillbillies who are simultaneously incompetent, stupid, but also dangerous because of it. By the end, the viewer is probably cheering for [[spoiler:the vampire they tortured to use as a weapon]] to kill them all. |
| 120 | [[/folder]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 123 | * ''The Cancelled Czech'' by [[Literature/MatthewScudder Lawrence]] [[Literature/BernieRhodenbarr Block]] features a Nazi group led by a shabby, unintelligent guy with dwarfism and a bad leg, who only avoided being purged in the Nazi eugenics program due to family connections. |
| 124 | * In ''The Fall of Giants'', Billy Williams notes that one of his squadmates who is half-illiterate and [[TradingBarsForStripes a convicted criminal who joined the British Army to get out of prison]] still thinks that because he's British he's more entitled to an empire than the Germans, Dutch, or French. |
| 125 | -->''Barrow, who evidently had never seen an atlas, felt superior to Descartes, Rembrandt, and Beethoven.'' |
| 126 | * In ''Literature/{{Fatherland}}'', March reflects on this trope, noting that the most vehement supremacists were those that were not considered ideal specimens by the Nazi leadership: |
| 127 | -->''...the racial fanatics were seldom the blue-eyed Aryan supermen- they, in the words of Das Schwarzes Korps, "were too inclined to take their membership of the Volk for granted". Instead, the swampy frontiers of the German race were patrolled by those less confident of their blood-worthiness. Insecurity breeds good border guards. The knock-kneed Franconian schoolmaster, ridiculous in his Lederhosen; the Bavarian shopkeeper with his pebble glasses; the red-haired Thuringian accountant with a nervous tic and a predilection for the younger members of the Hitler Youth; the lame and the ugly, the runts of the national litter- these were the loudest defenders of the Volk.'' |
| 128 | * ''Literature/GotrekAndFelix'': In "Elfslayer", Aethenir (the haughty high elf leading the expedition to retrieve a magical book) turns out to have been responsible for the book's theft in the first place, after being seduced into it by a disguised dark elf's fake sob story. His captain of the guard (who's just as haughty, but at least has the martial skill to back it up) is ''not'' happy about the entire thing and swears to kill Aethenir if he screws up again, although unfortunately he's too competent to be allowed to live long. |
| 129 | -->Felix found a lump blocking his throat, and fought down the unworthy thought that he would rather that it had been Aethenir who had died and Rion who had lived, for the captain had been the epitome of elven virtue that Aethenir should have been. |
| 130 | * Marvolo Gaunt in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' (appearing only in a PensieveFlashback) is a pure-blood wizard descended from Salazar Slytherin and believes that this gives him special status over other wizards. This is despite the fact that he lives in squalor and [[InbredAndEvil suffers the effects of generations of inbreeding]], and is abusive towards his daughter Merope, who would become the mother of Voldemort. Harry himself reflects on the trope, noting that despite running a pureblood-supremacist terrorist organization for most of TheEighties, even Voldemort is half-Muggle [[spoiler:as is Snape, the self-named "Half-Blood Prince" of the title]]. |
| 131 | * ''Literature/MenAtArms'': The main subplot involves a [[{{gasshole}} flatulence-prone]] dog named Big Fido advocating that dogs should rise up against their human masters, and makes long speeches about the [[NobleWolf nobility]] and [[SavageWolves savagery]] of wolves despite never having met one and being a tiny poodle himself. No prizes for guessing [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler which]] hypocritical, grandiloquent demagogue Big Fido was based on. |
| 132 | * In ''Literature/MotherNight'' by Creator/KurtVonnegut, Lionel Jones and his circle of Neo-Nazis are ridiculous and pathetic rather than menacing. One is so frail and out of shape that he dies of a heart attack from walking up a couple of flights of stairs, another is a black man who dresses in Waffen SS Uniforms and calls himself "the Black Fuhrer of Harlem." |
| 133 | * In the ''Otto Prohaska'' novels, Otto discovered that his father--a fanatical believer in Greater Germany--tried to get him into the German military but was given the boot at the recruiting office, as to their minds he was just a FunnyForeigner with a thick accent. |
| 134 | * ''Literature/ThePragueCemetery''. Simonini encounters several anti-Semitic propagandists who [[BoomerangBigot are Jewish]], or resemble common caricatures of what a Jew is supposed to look like. |
| 135 | * In ''Literature/RiotousAssembly'' and ''Literature/IndecentExposure'', Creator/TomSharpe's satires of UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica in UsefulNotes/TheApartheidEra, most of the [[AmoralAfrikaner white South African]] characters are lacking or deficient in some way. Lieutenant Verkramp, the extremely racist political policeman, is portrayed as a chinless, scrawny undersized runt with a hysterical streak. |
| 136 | * ''Literature/LeSilenceDeLaMer'': The WickedCultured Nazi Werner truly believes that the party's ideals will result in a better Europe and a better world, and explains this at length to the French people quartering him (who never answer or talk to him). Then he meets some other Nazis including his friends and realizes that their brutish RapePillageAndBurn attitudes are in fact the true Nazi ideal. [[SuicideByCop He requests a transfer to the Eastern Front after that.]] |
| 137 | * The Creator/BenElton book ''Stark'' features a BasementDweller skinhead thug who believes in the supremacy of the White race. The omniscient narrator expresses amazement that looking into the mirror every day hasn't snapped him out of that belief. |
| 138 | * ''Literature/WalkersCrossing'': Gil Walker is a virulent white supremacist who has only held one minimum wage job since he graduated from high school, and lost it in a month. Since then, he's moved back in with his parents and never does any more work around the ranch than he has to. Multiple characters explicitly state that he tears down anyone whose skin is a different color because it's the only way he can feel remotely important and powerful. |
| 139 | [[/folder]] |
| 140 | |
| 141 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 142 | * ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'': "Fire in the Hole" is about two neo-Nazis, one of whom is an idiot who can't stop mangling the gang's slogans. |
| 143 | * ''Series/{{Bones}}'': In "The Purging of the Pundit," the VictimOfTheWeek is a right-wing radio presenter. As a shouty, money-grubbing hypocrite he's a solid example himself, as is [[CorruptCorporateExecutive his producer]]. But they're {{only in it for the money}}, while one of the suspects is a true believer: a white supremacist with a history of assaulting minorities who was building a fertilizer bomb when Booth arrested him. He's also a high-school dropout who seems to think that saying "I do not recognize your authority!" means he can't be arrested (a common misconception of self-proclaimed "sovereign citizens"). |
| 144 | * Stormfront in ''Series/TheBoys2019'' was a [[ThoseWackyNazis 1930s Nazi]] and SuperSupremacist who [[OlderThanTheyLook hadn't aged since World War II]] thanks to the SuperSerum. Her ultimate goal was to elevate white people into a MasterRace of literal supermen using Compound V, but despite having almost an entire century to work with, she made no progress on this whatsoever aside from [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain random acts of violence against black people]] (while [[{{irony}} taking orders]] from [[ScaryBlackMan one]]). [[IronyAsSheIsCast Bonus points]] for being [[Creator/AyaCash played by a Jewish actress]]. [[spoiler:Funnily enough, she only became worth anything to the Nazi cause [[VillainousLegacy once she was dead]], as after being unmasked and DrivenToSuicide she became an InspirationalMartyr to American neo-Nazis, resulting in the "Stormchasers" becoming shock troops for [[BigBad Homelander]].]] |
| 145 | * ''Series/ColdCase'' |
| 146 | ** One of the suspects in the episode "[[Recap/ColdCaseS1E16Volunteers Volunteers]]" was a washed up black militant who ranted about interracial relationships and abortion ([[ConspiracyTheorist insisting]] it was just a means for [[BlamingTheMan The Man]] to commit "black genocide") while also claiming to be all about peaceful and nonviolent protest, despite being in prison for robbing convenience stores at gunpoint, something which he tried to brush off by claiming that it was justified as "reparations." |
| 147 | ** Lindsay Port, one of the neo-Nazis from "[[Recap/ColdCaseS5E13Spiders Spiders]]" has lost her good looks in the ten years since the episode's case and two of her children are half black. |
| 148 | ** Jim Horn, the murderer from "[[Recap/ColdCaseS6E3WednesdaysWomen Wednesday's Women]]" was portrayed as a loser who got kicked out of the army and couldn't hold down a job, the KKK being the only group that would take him in. When he tried to tell them that the VictimOfTheWeek was a Wednesday's Woman, she successfully fooled them. |
| 149 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'': While Pierce Hawthorne's bigoted views are mostly due to his [[InnocentBigot ignorance]] and have no real malice behind them, his father Cornelius is a virulent white supremacist/misogynist who constantly spouts about his natural superiority; he's also a frail, decrepit old man who wears a wig made from solid ivory because he fears getting a racially-mixed hairpiece, and is so weak he dies from a heart attack after Jeff gives him a blistering TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Cornelius also never bothers mentioning that [[spoiler:his black assistant Gilbert is actually his biological son]]. |
| 150 | * The BodyOfTheWeek on one episode of ''Series/{{CSI}}'' was part of a small white supremacist gang at his high school. The others are brought in for questioning after being found huffing spray paint in a park, and one misspells a written note asking for an attorney--prompting Greg to wisecrack later that "they've all 'layered' up." |
| 151 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 152 | ** The Daleks are a race of aliens who are bred with the sole purpose of [[AbsoluteXenophobe hating all lifeforms outside of their own]], whose goal is to [[OmnicidalManiac exterminate every other species so they can reign supreme on the universe]]. They also are obsessive over their "purity" and will readily kill any impure among their own, assuming the impures aren't [[DrivenToSuicide willingly killing themselves or lining up for execution]]. While the Daleks are indeed powerful, they're essentially [[LittleGreenManInACan shapeless slug-like aliens entirely dependent on their robotic shell to do anything]]. They have no culture of their own, no individual personalities, no friends or family, and no ambitions outside of their goal of accomplishing genocide. There's little reason anyone would want to be them. |
| 153 | *** Out of all characters to call them out on this, the one doing so...is a Dalek. Dalek Sec, a member of the Cult of Skaro, who was made to ensure the survival of his kind no matter what by thinking outside the box of what Daleks usually do, comes to this conclusion in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E4DaleksInManhattan Daleks in Manhattan]]": |
| 154 | ----> '''Dalek Caan:''' [[AC:Daleks are supreme. Humans are weak.]]\ |
| 155 | '''Dalek Sec:''' [[AC:But there are millions of humans and only four of us. If we are supreme why are we not victorious?]] |
| 156 | ** An InvokedTrope with Ashad (aka The Lone Cyberman), who is a partially-converted Cyberman who despises organic life, hates his imperfect body, and is fanatically dedicated to resurrecting the Cybermen. When the Doctor points out that these qualities are antithetical to the nature of Cybermen, he's entirely willing to acknowledge this, and says the Cyberium chose to link with him because he's more determined to achieve its goal than any ordinary Cyberman would be. |
| 157 | * ''Series/{{Elementary}}'': In the episode "Once You've Ruled Out God", Holmes and Watson are tracking the "shot-caller" for a white supremacist prison gang who was recently paroled. Reviewing his file: |
| 158 | -->'''Joan Watson''': I don't know how this guy ended up in charge of anything. He's a high school dropout and his whole life is a rap sheet. |
| 159 | -->'''Sherlock Holmes''': Well, you only have to be [[NormalFishInATinyPond the brightest bulb of a dim lot]]. Racist ideology mostly attracts failures and reprobates. Gives them a sense of elevation that they cannot otherwise justify. |
| 160 | * ''Series/EverybodyHatesChris'': While their racism is nothing to sneer at, the racists in the show are portrayed as complete morons. The teacher is very condescending towards Chris, Caruso admitted that he only bullied Chris because he felt inferior to him, and the shop security staff were so bigoted that they followed babies, elderly people, and their own staff. |
| 161 | * [[SmugSnake Gordon Pratt]] from ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' is a white supremacist who presents himself as a WickedCultured intellectual, and recites various "facts" that "prove" blacks are inferior to whites to mock the black Pembleton. Pembleton and Bayliss eventually discover he is a high-school dropout who had abysmal grades, and use it to provoke him into a VillainousBreakdown. |
| 162 | * ''Series/HorribleHistories'': In an ''Awesome USA'' segment, the series shows how Agent Moses [[SlaveLiberation freed slaves]] and how she outsmarted the slave owners; she was [[SweetPollyOliver actually a woman]] named UsefulNotes/HarrietTubman, she hid by simply reading a newspaper, and she distracted slave owners with a chicken[[note]]while the show does play things up a bit with regards to the context, both of these "disguises" are genuine things she did -- she once picked up and pretended to read a newspaper on a train so she wouldn't be detected, as she was known to be illiterate, and would carry a chicken around so anyone who saw her would assume she was meant to be there retrieving it, rather than escaping[[/note]]. |
| 163 | --> '''Slave''': Lady, either you very, very clever, or these slave owners are very, very stupid.\ |
| 164 | '''Agent Moses''': A little bit of both, boys, little bit of both. |
| 165 | * ''Series/JerrySpringer'': Whenever a self-proclaimed white supremacist appeared on the show, such as a Klan member, they tend to be either rather poor, very dimwitted, or laughably overweight while advocating some sort of race war in which they'd be the first casualties. It makes for [[PointAndLaughShow better mocking]]. |
| 166 | * ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'': Lancelot's rebellion is sparked in part because he always thought the quest for the Grail should be reserved for an elite rather than the squabbling bunch of incompetents that make up the Round Table. [[Film/KaamelottPremierVolet Ten years after he seizes power]], he's no closer to finding the Grail than Arthur was, his council are sycophants just as inept as the Round Table ever was, and he's even mocked for his inability to get Guenièvre to love him back. |
| 167 | * In the ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' episode "Info Wars" the two prime suspects are on opposite sides of the extremist aisle with both portrayed as losers. The first was an Antifa member who worked as a barista at Starbucks, and the other was a neo-Nazi BasementDweller. [[NoEnding The episode ends with the team giving up on figuring out who the real rapist was]], and the barista (who was heavily implied to be the real culprit) seething as the victim would visit the shop and force him to serve her. |
| 168 | * ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'': Before Earl's [[RedemptionQuest quest for redemption]], he and Joy insulted everyone by referencing racial stereotypes and they did whatever they wanted with impunity. Earl made fun of people with accents while Joy often referenced black stereotypes while she was married to Darnell. Both of them are [[LowerClassLout idiotic, binge drinking trailer trash]] and Joy cheated on Earl while they were married, producing [[ChocolateBaby Earl Jr]]. |
| 169 | * In ''Series/Peacemaker2022'', the Aryan Brotherhood are a white supremacist militia whose membership consists entirely of homely, stupid, badly-dressed losers living in a dumpy suburb. Their leader, Auggie Smith aka the White Dragon, is a serious threat to the heroes due to his high-tech weaponry and sheer ruthlessness, but even he is mostly shown as an out-of-touch blowhard whose glory days are long behind him. |
| 170 | * ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'': The Sons of Anarchy motorcycle gang dominates the town of Charming and has little tolerance for any competition. Since they are EqualOpportunityEvil they [[EvenEvilHasStandards particularly dislike]] the Nords, the local neo-Nazi gang. Over the years the Sons have driven out or killed any competent Nords members and the current gang is composed of Charming's dregs. Darby, the Nords' current leader is easily cowed and turns out to be a PunchClockVillain who is secretly not very racist at all. This changes when the League of American Nationalists set their sights on Charming. LOAN are a tough, ruthless, sophisticated, VillainWithGoodPublicity gang that come close to destroying the Sons. |
| 171 | * ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': In "Terra Prime", [[BigBad John Frederick Paxton]] idolizes Colonel Green, a ruthless 21st-century tyrant who forcibly euthanized irradiated victims of WorldWarIII to purify humanity's gene pool. However, Paxton himself has a genetic disorder that would have marked him for execution under Green's regime. The fact that Paxton, who leads a xenophobic terrorist movement, is treating his condition with Rigelian medicine further marks him as a major {{hypocrite}}, which T'Pol tries to blackmail him with. |
| 172 | -->'''Paxton''': I'm not the first significant leader who failed to live up to his own ideal.\ |
| 173 | '''T'Pol''': You're not ''significant''!\ |
| 174 | '''Paxton''': [[SuddenlyShouting HISTORY]] will determine that! So go ahead, tell my followers whatever you wish. See if they'll take the word of a ''Vulcan'' over mine. |
| 175 | [[/folder]] |
| 176 | |
| 177 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 178 | * The Music/DeadKennedys song "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" is a song denouncing [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nazi punks, exactly as the title says]]. The lyrics paint the neo-Nazis as foolish, easily-led [[DirtyCoward cowards]] who don't understand the fundamental nature of either the punk subculture or Nazi ideology, nor comprehend the fact that totalitarianism is antithetical to the rebelliousness that the punk subculture embraces. It goes so far as to claim that these Nazi punks would be among the first victims in a real FourthReich. The song was written when real neo-Nazis started showing up at Dead Kennedys concerts because [[MisaimedFandom they completely missed the satire of some of the band's songs]], like "California Uber Alles" (which was actually a commentary on then-governor of California UsefulNotes/JerryBrown). The band wrote "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" in a way that had [[{{Anvilicious}} all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face]] so that there would be no mistaking that the band didn't want the Nazi punks anywhere near them.[[invoked]] |
| 179 | * Music/{{Ministry}}'s song "Goddamn White Trash" depicts a group of far-right terrorists this way, albeit in a way that's PlayedForLaughs in the music video. The song itself depicts such people as {{Boisterous Weakling}}s who are "uneducated and ready for war" and who are "indoctrinated" to [[IRejectYourReality reject the facts they see]]. The music video, meanwhile, depicts a group of far-right racist terrorists as pathetic losers who act tougher than they really are. They dress in tactical gear while riding hobby horses, pretend to knife fight imaginary enemies in their underwear, and act tough while using a mobility scooter just to get anywhere. One of the racists dresses in hot pink and acts like a CampGay, yet none of the other terrorists seem to notice. |

| 181 | |
| 182 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 183 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'': In the 4th Edition sourcebook ''Golden Age Champions'' we have Doctor Quall, a Nazi MadScientist. His description is as follows: Quall is a blond, white, male, weighing 98 lbs. He suffers from dwarfism, an enlarged cranium, bad eye-sight, flat feet, pattern baldness, and ulcers. He is a member of the "Master Race." |
| 184 | * In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the drow are sometimes portrayed this way. The drow consider themselves a SuperiorSpecies to everyone else, to the point that the only thing worse than [[LadyLand being a male drow in the Underdark]] is being a non-drow in the Underdark, as drow are raised from birth to believe that the drow are better than everyone else. And yet, the drow all being TheSocialDarwinist means they're considered StupidEvil by all the other races. They're lorded over by the ChaoticEvil Lolth, an EvilMatriarch of a {{Jerkass God|s}} who encourages ChronicBackstabbingDisorder and [[ForTheEvulz doing evil things just for the sake of it]]. The drow society is barely hanging on as a result, with Lolth herself sometimes needing to come down to whip the drow back into shape (despite Lolth [[{{Hypocrite}} encouraging such behavior in the first place]]), and the Underdark is ruled by fiefdoms and city-states because the drow are too disorganized and cutthroat to organize anything bigger than that. Despite all evidence that other societies and/or races are doing way better than they are, the drow still fervently cling to the belief that they're superior to everybody else just because they're drow. If a drow isn't in the proper station that they want to be in, it's [[NeverMyFault always someone else's fault]]. Applied at a macro level, the drow might believe it's everyone else's fault that the drow are being kept down, but it's never their own fault.[[invoked]] |
| 185 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': |
| 186 | ** The Eldar [[FantasticRacism talking down to humans]] tend to have shades of this, by holding themselves to be the SuperiorSpecies and the only ones capable of fighting against Chaos. Never mind that the Eldar ''created'' one of the Chaos gods in the first place through millennia of relentless hedonism, or that their manipulations have a tendency to backfire on them (in ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'', their interference and refusal to explain the situation led to the ascent of a Daemon Prince). |
| 187 | ** The human-supremacist Imperium has certain issues in this department. Imperial dogma is that the human form is intrinsically superior and aliens and mutants deserve fear and extermination. Meanwhile, those "intrinsically superior" human soldiers are thrown into the meat grinder, dying in droves on every front and callously sacrificed by every GeneralRipper they can find, while glory is piled on the Space Marines, transhuman {{Super Soldier}}s with two hearts, three lungs and acid spit, and interstellar travel depends on an entire class of mutants known as Navigators. |

| 190 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 191 | * ''VideoGame/BlacksadUnderTheSkin'': While investigating a suicide, Blacksad finds a message written on the wall of Bobby Yale's locker reading "Fuck Negrose". The writer, who is revealed to be Arthur Tucker, misspelled "Negroes" ''twice'', the first attempt was crossed out and the second attempt was the final version. Not only this, he kept the stained towel in his locker, which was also decorated with a confederate flag and a newspaper article that praised his work with Artic Nation, a white supremacist organization. |
| 192 | -->'''Blacksad:''' The racist brain is so full of hatred that there's no space for trifles such as common sense or, say, spelling. But this most cultured writer spotted the error and attempted to correct it... Not sure what to make of the outcome. |
| 193 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'': The Preppies are the OldMoney types who see themselves as superior to everyone else because of their ''inherited'' wealth. The Preppies are said to be physically deformed through inbreeding because they refuse to date people outside of their social class (Tad mentions he has webbed feet and Gord defensively claims that [[KissingCousins first cousins]] are ''legal''). In the game, they are failing classes and have been selling test answers on Mr. Hattrick's behalf. |
| 194 | * ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium'': |
| 195 | ** The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Racist Lorry Driver]], a chubby middle-aged balding man who harasses anyone he perceives as a foreigner while trying to convince the Detective (himself a chubby middle-aged alcoholic) of their shared superiority as Occidentals. Measurehead, the [[ScaryBlackMan considerably more intimidating Semenese supremacist]], notes that most racists are not very good examples of their race and even then he resorts to severe InsaneTrollLogic to justify his BoomerangBigot ideology (which includes such hack science as phrenology) that makes him look like a raving lunatic despite being [[GeniusBruiser one of the smarter characters]]. |
| 196 | ** The killer behind the murder mystery turns out to be this. [[spoiler:[[StrangerBehindTheMask Commissar Iosef Lilianovich Dros]] is an [[TheRemnant avowed communist]] ([[NoTrueScotsman the last "real" communist, in his own words]]), who also happens to be a misanthropic PsychopathicManchild and GrumpyOldMan who is at death's door. By the time you catch up to him, not only does he not have any bullets for his gun, but [[GoMadFromTheIsolation he's gone completely insane from living in isolation for so long]]. In spite of all of the above, he still considers himself superior and morally above everyone else.]] |
| 197 | * ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'': One of the {{NPC}}s is a racist, xenophobic asshole who wants to "protect" America from immigrants, legal or otherwise, and is too stupid to realize his partner in crime is ''a Russian who barely speaks English''. Speaking of the Russian guy, he considers himself [[ImmigrantPatriotism a red-blooded American]], but doesn't know as much about his adopted homeland as he thinks he does and [[InUniverseFactoidFailure mistakenly uses British and French patriotic phrases]]. |
| 198 | * ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber'': Jake hates the Russians and he's also shown to be a neo-Confederate, as evident by the Confederate flag in his apartment and his tattoo idea being of "Old Dixie" on his shoulder. Jake himself is a former junkyard worker and a fat boarish man who lost his job because he berated and insulted his boss. [[spoiler: Jake's death was also a result of stupidity and naivety, he told 50 Blessings that he knows about the phone calls and he automatically assumed they would trust him with this information. Causing him to be shot by The Volunteer for [[HeKnowsTooMuch knowing too much]] about their operation.]] |
| 199 | * ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Zant believes that the Twili are the only ones worthy of living in and ruling Hyrule, and reacts poorly to any implication that he isn't the undisputed leader of such a tribe. Near the end of the game, he's revealed to be a witless, cringing PsychopathicManchild who took all of his power from [[spoiler:Ganondorf]]. |
| 200 | * ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}'': The Skinz are a xenophobic Southern gang that lynches anyone who isn't of pure white ethnicity and proclaim that white people are the superior and strongest race. All of them are shown living in poverty, most of them have daddy issues (one member only joined because his dad told him to), two of their members are obese, one member complains about wearing contact lenses, and they are wearing items that ''denounce'' their ideals. They wear the lyrics to "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys and one member wears yellow shoelaces despite the item representing an ''apolitical'' skinhead. In their opening cutscene, they are easily intimidated by Ramirez, Starkweather's right-hand man and a black man after he breaks the neck of one member despite the gang outnumbering him. |
| 201 | * In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', members of the Klan can be found in a series of random encounters in Lemoyne, and if left to their own devices will typically end up [[TooDumbToLive accidentally killing themselves]]. |
| 202 | * ''VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus'': |
| 203 | ** There are numerous examples of Nazis who are utter weaklings, but the biggest example of this is [[spoiler:the elderly Adolf Hitler, who has gotten so feeble and unstable with age, he pisses blood and [[DisproportionateRetribution shoots random actors for the crime of calling him "Mr"]]]]. |
| 204 | ** A more humorous example can be seen in occupied Roswell, New Mexico when an SS [[DoomTroops Doom Trooper]] runs into two KKK members walking down the street in full hood. He grows increasingly agitated as the two rather dimwitted Klansmen repeatedly mispronounce a simple German greeting, eventually warning them that he'll be keeping an eye on them. |
| 205 | ** Rip, B.J.'s [[AbusiveParents abusive father]], was a harsh bigot who punished his son for hanging out with a black girl. He was also a complete failure in terms of business and being a family man. [[spoiler: When he finally gains success, it is due to selfishly selling out his Jewish wife and non-white neighbors.]] |

| 207 | |
| 208 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 209 | * ZigZagged in ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair''. Nagito is very adamant that Ultimates are inherently better than the untalented masses. However, Nagito has an InferioritySuperiorityComplex in that he considers himself worthless despite having one of the most powerful talents as the Ultimate Lucky Student (the ''severe'' BlessedWithSuck elements of his talent have something to do with that) but still sees normal people as beneath him, [[spoiler:to the point that he'll cut ties with Hajime, the only person to try to understand him, when he learns that Hajime was not actually an Ultimate]]. His classmates largely detest him for his inability to care for them as people, his deranged behavior, and his expressed willingness to get them all killed in Monokuma's game [[InsaneTrollLogic if it means their killer has a 'greater hope']]. |
| 210 | * ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'' has comic relief in Kenji Setou, a boy who believes that feminists are conspiring against him and who exhorts the protagonist about the importance of manliness. The thing is, Kenji is a scrawny, almost blind boy who is shut in his room most of the time, and generally the farthest possible from conventional masculinity. |
| 211 | [[/folder]] |
| 212 | |
| 213 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 214 | * Inverted in the comedic ''{{Website/Cracked}}'' article [[https://www.cracked.com/blog/dumb-things-white-people-secretly-suspect-about-other-races/ Dumb Things White People Secretly Suspect About Other Races,]] in which the narrator (a "young, white, middle-class American male") believes anyone not white has abilities far beyond his own (acceptance, conversation, endurance, {{Animorphism}}...). The reason he's in court-mandated therapy was that he saw a woman trapped on a building and tried to beat a Native American onlooker into turning into an eagle to rescue her. |
| 215 | -->'''Therapist:''' Most offenders placed in my program have some hostility to work through, but yours seems to be rooted almost entirely in ''jealousy''. |
| 216 | * ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'': The Fort Boyard video has one of the contestants identify himself as a card-carrying member of the Front National (the main French far-right party). He's then shown to be an utter dumbass and a [[DomesticAbuse wifebeater]]. |
| 217 | * The Website/{{Reddit}} board [[https://www.reddit.com/r/beholdthemasterrace/ r/BeholdTheMasterRace]] is all about gathering and mocking such examples. |
| 218 | ** Also from Reddit is the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/StoriesAboutKevin/comments/oi4l84/complete_kevin_in_a_big_rig_saga/ Kevin in a Big Rig]] saga, in which a truck driver with NoSenseOfDirection and actual brain damage repeatedly proves he can't function in society yet brags about his position in the KKK. |
| 219 | * ''Creator/ThoughtSlime'': Discussed while reviewing ''Literature/TheTurnerDiaries'', Matt points out that supremacists in the book have pretty much ruined everything for themselves and The Order is contradictory and hypocritical. At the end of the book, 90% of humanity is killed off (the protagonist points out they killed people under the accusation that they were "race traitors" despite having no evidence to prove that claim), The Order created a nuclear apocalypse for themselves to inherit, and The Order forgives Turner for failing his suicide attempt despite The Order telling everyone that [[YouHaveFailedMe there are no excuses for failure]]. The comment section of the video goes as far as to claim that the line "Nature took her course" actually meant Turner crapped himself in front of his crush instead of having sex with her and he lied in his diary to save face. |
| 220 | * Discussed in the ''WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou'' episode "Pants On Fire." Here, a Florida man attempted to burn down a store [[DisproportionateRetribution for not stocking his favorite kind of juice]] and claimed he was trying to "run the Arabs out of the country," much to the confusion of the ''[[MistakenNationality Indian]]'' business owner. Nash remarks "thank god for the incompetence of the American racist," while Tara comments that people who believe in white supremacy always look and ''act'' like they don't belong to any kind of MasterRace - especially the perpetrator, who looks like an alcoholic garden gnome. |
| 221 | * The [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/210-would-not-bang "2/10 Would Not Bang"]] meme is a parody of the hypercritical culture of the Internet, consisting of a picture of an attractive person with arrows pointing at what the poster deems unattractive features, a bad grade, and an affirmation that the poster would never lower their standards enough to have sex with them... [[StrawCritic and then a picture of the presumed poster]], an overweight BasementDweller with bad skin who looks like he couldn't buy sex from a blind hooker. |

| 225 | * ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'': The Meninists are a trio of men who spend their days complaining on the internet about works involving female leads. When the Critic tells the Furiosa parody character Curiosa to stand outside, the Meninists are immediately intimidated and shy away. When Devil Boner comes out to join Curiousa, the Meninists [[CategoryTraitor attack him for siding with the enemy]]. Devil Boner instead retaliates by [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech insulting their thin-skinned attitude]] and calls them out for judging peoples' masculinity despite doing nothing manly themselves. All the Meninists do is complain about women on the internet, insult women in the military despite none of the Meninists being in service (until the end of the review, where they are drafted after convincing the president to remove women from the military), and cry about their inability to get a date when they don't even take any initiative to ''talk'' to women. |
| 226 | -->'''Jim''': Hey, look! Devil Boner's on her side! [[CategoryTraitor TRAITOR]]!\ |
| 227 | '''Malcolm''': You ain't no man!\ |
| 228 | '''Jason''': YEAH!\ |
| 229 | '''Devil Boner''': And you are?! Christ! If you're the future of what being a man is, slap a fucking vagina on me! I'd much rather be a badass like ([[ActionGirl Curiosa]]) than whiny little bitches like you! Hey, here's a thought! If you have to complain about how someone's stealing your manhood, chances are you never had your manhood to begin with! What are you, five?! You afraid you're gonna get [[GirlsHaveCooties cooties]]?! And how's that working out for you, anyway? Are women just falling at your feet because you bitch and complain about them online? Real chick magnet, guys! You must get laid a lot! You know what? Keep living in your mama's basements, because the grown-ups are gonna make a more badass world, and we don't need your cry-baby tears pussing it up! |
| 230 | * Red of ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions'' characterizes Creator/HPLovecraft this way in an episode that discusses Lovecraft's body of work. She paints Lovecraft a NervousWreck who struggled his whole life to make ends meet and hailed from an ImpoverishedPatrician family with a history of poor health. As a result, Red argues that Lovecraft's rabidly xenophobic worldview -- not just in the sense of racism, antisemitism, and nativism, but also in the broader sense of terror of the unknown -- was a result of needing to be "inherently exceptional" just because he was a white New England man, as he had little else to fall back on. |
| 231 | -->My superior blood sets me above the common man. Because if I'm not inherently exceptional, I'm just another shrinkingly insignificant mote in the cold, pitiless gaze of the unfeeling cosmos. And that'd just be incomprehensibly horrifying! |

| 235 | * ''WesternAnimation/CaptainLaserhawkABloodDragonRemix'': Red is vocally prejudiced against aliens, but makes no attempt to hide his resentment of Dolph being chosen for a SuperSoldier program instead of him, his voice cracks when he's flustered (which is often), he's easily outwitted by Rayman, and his own team doesn't really respect him. |
| 236 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "Accent You Hate", a BarbaricBully named Gary (who [[ArtisticAge looks like a teenager, but his age is unstated]]) thinks he's superior to kids because of his fairly standard American accent, picks on kids with "funny accents" like Dexter (even wearing an "I HATE KIDS WITH FUNNY ACCENTS" T-shirt), but gets easily beaten up by other schoolkids with funny accents (including a possible AuthorAvatar of Creator/GenndyTartakovsky, the show's creator) when they finally stand up to him despite them being a good deal smaller than him, ending up with a lisp and deformed mouth after [[ItMakesSenseInContext running into a fist statue]]. Gary then does a HeelFaceTurn, having been HoistByHisOwnPetard. |
| 237 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': |
| 238 | ** One gag shows a scrawny Hitler in a gym struggling to lift weights, then glaring venomously at a hugely muscular rabbi [[GentileJewChaser being fawned over by non-Jewish women]], implicitly launching his anti-Semitic beliefs. |
| 239 | ** Another episode had a gag about a neo-Nazi with down syndrome and another episode had a deaf kid who performs a Nazi salute after a disagreement with Chris. This despite the Nazis being infamously ableist. |
| 240 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': |
| 241 | ** Mrs. Garrison is particularly nasty in the episode "Follow That Egg", where, after having gender reassignment surgery in an attempt to run away from her own closeted homosexuality, she rallies against homosexuals and changes an egg-sitting assignment she set in order to make them out to collectively be unfit to parent. |
| 242 | ** [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman Eric Cartman]] is a {{narcissist}}ic overweight SpoiledBrat who frequently puts down Jews, black people, and other minorities (idolizing Hitler on more than one occasion). But said minorities often prove to be much smarter and more level-headed than Cartman is. This is best shown in "Up The Down Steroid", where Cartman [[ObfuscatingDisability fakes being mentally handicapped]] to enter the Special Olympics, thinking he'll automatically win just because he's not really handicapped and the rest of the participants are. Cartman gets a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome as he's shocked to learn that everyone in the Special Olympics is still in good physical shape (certainly better than the shape that overweight slacker Cartman is in), and Cartman places last in every single event. |
