You Are What You Hate in Western Animation.
- Alfred J. Kwak: Dolf is a crow supremacist with a lot of Hitler parallels, and he's secretly half-blackbird, presumably a reference to how Hitler may have had Jewish ancestry.
- An episode of The Amazing World of Gumball reveals that Gumball is not a cat person after having his face clawed on by a cat... despite the fact that he himself is a cat.
- In an episode of American Dad!, Francine is Mistaken for Racist when she kicks Steve's new black love interest out of the house. When her kids confront her she reveals it's actually a dislike of left-handed people who she calls "the devil's minions". The kids dig into it and their grandmother tells them it's because Francine herself was left-handed as a young child, but the orphanage they adopted her from was run by nuns who beat her for it repeatedly (using the exact phrase she parroted), forcing her to become right-handed. In a slight subversion, she's so used to using her right hand, she's actually quite dangerous using her left hand in the present.
- In the episode "Plumber's Helpers" in Ben 10: Alien Force, Helen Wheels and Manny Armstrong attempt to kill any alien/human hybrid they find, believing all of them to be completely evil, despite being part alien themselves.
- Sporting an upbringing beneath an abusive father and a self-hating mother, Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks is the darkest guy in the series, and yet he hates black people with a passion. He does his best to distance himself from being black, holding onto whatever European heritages he believes he has (though a genetic test in one episode reveals he's 102% African, with a 2% margin of error) and claims to have a skin condition called "re-vitiligo", the "opposite of what Michael Jackson had", which supposedly causes him to get darker.
- Family Guy:
- Peter Griffin starts hating on illegal immigrants only to discover he, himself, was one, or at least the writers' idea of what defined being an illegal immigrant. And since he has convinced the brewery to fire illegal immigrants, he was Hoist by His Own Petard. Though unsure if this is a clear example since he had no idea he was one until he talked with his mother to get his birth certificate.
- Brian is a liberal dog who disapproves of racism but instinctively barks at black men due to his upbringing (his father was a police dog).
- In an episode of Futurama where Bender and Amy had a robosexual relationship, Bender at one point was sent to a retreat where Preacherbot urged sinners to wrestle with human mannequins in order to symbolically beat out their sinful impulses. Naturally, this entailed the robots making out with the mannequins. Preacherbot was clearly aroused. Professor Farnsworth also opposed robosexual marriage because a robot stole his girlfriend. He later discovered he was repressing the fact that she was also a robot.
- Despite pissing off Jackass Genie Puck when he's actually trying to be nice to her, Demona of Gargoyles has her wish granted so she doesn't turn to stone during the day. To her horror, she is able to walk in daylight because, in a cruel twist, she turns into the one thing she despises above all else: a human. She makes use of this ability/curse to blend in with the humans during the day, and changes back into her true form at night.
- In Justice League, General Eiling deeply despises superheroes and metahumans. When his organisation Cadmus was disbanded, he decided to use a superhuman serum and turn himself into "The General" to fight the Justice League, facing the League's non-metahuman members. The public calls him out on his actions and Eiling personally hangs a lampshade on his actions and says the trope name almost word for word, though he claims he is still in the right.
- King of the Hill has an interesting case: Hank Hill, proud Texan that he is, is initially horrified to find out he was actually born in *gasp* NEW YORK! Not just New York, but the women's restroom of Yankee Stadium. "NEW YORK CITY?!?!"
- The Legend of Korra has this with Big Bad Amon wanting to get rid of all Benders while secretly being a waterbender.
- In My Life as a Teenage Robot, Jenny defeats a huge mecha dogmatically seeking to eliminate all weapons by pointing out that it, itself, is a weapon.
- In the Muppet Babies (2018) episode "Monster Next Door" Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, and Summer call Sweetums a monster who is mean as he has scraggly fur, lumpy bumpy noses, and hairy feet. Sweetums then calls them out by saying the traits they used to label him a monster they have themselves. Animal has scraggly fur, Gonzo has a big, giant nose, and Fozzie has hairy feet. Kermit and company learn from their error and apologize to Sweetums and become friends with him.
- The ReBoot episode "Number 7" is, among other things, about Enzo realizing that he is becoming just like Megabyte.
- In Recess, Spinelli despises "The Ashleys" (a group of Alpha Bitch-esque girls all named Ashley) yet becomes very defensive when it's pointed out that her own first name is Ashley since she despises the thought of being lumped in with them. As Spinelli puts it, she doesn't hate her first name (she's named after a relative who was a war hero), she just didn't want to be associated with the rest of the Ashleys since they all have the same name. Spinelli's fears later turned out to be justified when playground law dictated she had to join their group because of her first name. Thankfully her friends got her out when they convinced most of the other kids to pretend their names were now Ashley and swarm the Ashleys' clubhouse.
- Rocko's Modern Life: Ed Bighead both hates circus clowns and secretly wishes to be one, a situation that many children only realized years later was a giant, glowing metaphor for sexual fetishes.
- In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, the greeter at the medieval fair professes nothing but contempt at the pirates who attend on the outside, but in private secretly wishes to be one.
- When Springfield tried to pass a law deporting all immigrants in The Simpsons, Moe was one of its most vocal supporters. He viciously blames them for everything that ever happened in town, including bear attacks, and rants about things that piss him off about them like not learning the local language. He was later spotted nervously taking the citizenship exam wearing a very thin disguise.
- Played with on South Park:
- Cartman hates "Gingers" (People with red hair, freckles, and pale skin) and insists they have no souls. As revenge Stan, Kenny, and Kyle draw freckles on him and dye his hair red in the middle of the night. He then hangs out with the gingers and whips them into a genocidal frenzy against everyone else. At a massive rally, they're about to kill everyone who isn't a ginger (starting with the "Daywalker", Kyle) only to have Stan, Kyle, and Kenny reveal Cartman's not a real ginger. Then he just goes back to ripping on gingers (though while also calming down the riot he just started). And then in "201" it turns out Cartman's father was also Scott Tenorman's father, making Cartman half-ginger after all. It's also worth noting that Cartman is anti-Semitic due to Jewish stereotypes he perceives as true such as Jews being frugal and carrying gold. This is ironic considering Cartman had no issues taking advantage of Walmart deals and ultimately isn't at all above doing absolutely anything for money, from scamming people to eating kilos of gold to smuggle it out of an attraction. He converts to Judaism after a prank seriously backfires and Kyle reluctantly goes to save him.
- Mr. Garrison is homophobic in the early seasons, and is in denial about his sexuality throughout Seasons 1-3 until he admits to himself that he is gay in the fourth season. When his sex change results in his then-lover Mister Slave breaking up with him, he goes back to being hateful to homosexual men, and when it turns out Mister Slave is going to marry Big Gay Al, Garrison becomes an angry opponent of gay marriage. Then there's a mini-arc where Mrs. Garrison thinks it's "wrong" to be with another woman, but enjoys it and claims to then be a lesbian... And then there's a reverse sex change and Garrison becomes a man again, and almost immediately uses a homosexual slur. There's a quote from one of the creators that goes something along the lines of, "Garrison just hates whatever he happens to be."
- In Spider-Man Unlimited, the High Evolutionary despises mankind, considering them the dregs of society in comparison to his race of Mutanimals, despite the fact that he himself is a human. Surprisingly, nobody brings this up, even Spider-Man who is known for calling out his enemies.
- Steven Universe: The Gem Empire is meant to embody perfection as decreed by the Great Diamond Authority, and for this reason gems who are deemed "off color" are ruthlessly oppressed. It turns out that White Diamond, head of the Diamond Authority, is herself an off color, though to her credit she seemed to be legitimately unaware of this and lightens up considerably once she realizes her imperfection.
