For example, a religious or gay character that religious or gay people hate.

It looks like you're asking if Ethnic Scrappy is Minority Scrappy. I dunno.

The title came out wrong. I meant "besides ethnicities".

Everyone Has Standards? (I may be gay like that guy but he's just wrong!)

[up] That doesn't work. It's about hating the character for being a stereotype, not hating a person for being "too gay". And that construction has uncomfortable implications.

I don't think a new Scrappy trope should be created when The Scrappy itself is currently in Long-Term. Since there's no "Minority Scrappy" page, can Ethnic Scrappy be used?

A person of different ethnicity who is The Scrappy for reasons having nothing inherently to do with their ethnicity is just The Scrappy. There's no need for a separate trope any more than we need a trope for heroes who have brown hair.

Ethnic Scrappy is when the audience dislike is directly tied to the fact that they are also a token.

[up] That's what I'm saying. We don't have a trope for something like "Gay people hate this gay character for being offensive".

You're talking about some kind of inverse to Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales?
