Line 91:

* In ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'', {{spoiler|Ankh becomes this towards the end of the series in regards to the Greeed. Despite being one himself, he's come to see the Greeed's main goal of becoming complete as an empty effort without [[And Then What?|thinking about what they'll do after they are whole again]], as it doesn't even sate their ever present desire. In this case, it's more of the actions rather than the species, as he admits even he acted that way and hates himself for it. He also gets seriously frustrated over the fact that the other Greeed seem completely incapable of seeing his point of view. Unlike many examples, he actually has a very good point, as his goal is now to actually sate his desire instead of letting it run wild.}}

* ''[[Smallville]]'': Tess Mercer in Seasons 8 & 9 was this trope...towards humanity in general. She unleashed Zod and the Kryptonian clones expressly because [[Animal Wrongs Group|she hoped that they would be better stewards of the planet]] and that having the Kryptonians in charge, rather than her fellow humans, would allow Earth to become some kind of paradise (apparently, she missed the memo that the Kryptonians inadvertently ''destroyed'' their own planet and themselves in the process). But when it becomes clear that Zod is just as corrupt and evil as any human dictator, Tess realizes her error, and moves away from this trope in Season 10.

* Col. Potter on ''[[M*A*S*H]]'': "Damn colonels! Can't trust any of them!"

** For that matter, [[Misanthrope Supreme|anyone]] who believes [[Humans Are Bastards]].

* In sociology and psychology, this is called "[[Internalized Categorism|internalized oppression]]" - where a member of a group comes to believe stereotypes about their own group. They may believe themselves to be an exception to the stereotypes, or they may hate their own group as a result.

** There's also "degreeism," where people of an oppressed group rank themselves by how closely they approach the oppressor group. For example, a masculine [[~~Straight~~ ~~Gay~~]] might hold consider himself above a more obvious [[Drag Queen]] or [[Leather Man]], or a highly Europeanized member of a colonized society might consider himself more "civilized" than his more traditional neighbors, etc.

* It's been said that nobody hates [[Furry Fandom|furries]] more than other furries. (This may be due in part to [[Stop Being Stereotypical]] attitudes toward the [[Vocal Minority]] of genuinely disturbing individuals within the fandom.)

* In Hawai'i ''haoles'' (pronounced "howlies"), or white people, are often subjected to harassment, name calling and (in a few cases) even outright violence by ''local'' people. Local usual means Asians and Native Hawaiians, though oddly enough it also includes the rather large Portuguese community for some reason (perhaps they see themselves as Hispanic, which effectively gives them white [[N-Word Privileges]]). [[You Are What You Hate|Also many Native Hawaiian activists could probably spend the better part of the afternoon talking about how "the ''haoles'' stole our land". This seems almost odd when you consider that nearly 60% of all people in Hawai'i (and about 99% of all Native Hawaiians) are of mixed race and nearly all of them have at least ''some'' Caucasian ancestry.]]
