Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* This was a favorite subject for ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]''. Probably the most [[Anvilicious]] example was "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", which featured an alien who was black on the left side and white on the right being chased by an alien who was white on the left and black on the right.
** Then there was ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' episode with an [[Aesop]] about homophobia delivered by a genderless species. Who were all played by women so that the audience wouldn't be subjected to Riker kissing someone played by a guy.
Line 81 ⟶ 83:
* [[Stargate Atlantis]]: When Michael reverts back to Wraith(ish) and escapes the humans, he expects to easily realign himself with the Wraith. To his dismay, they treat him with the same amount of disdain as they do humans (possibly more since he's not even useful as food); this causes him to reject both humans and Wraith and try to wipe them both out as a result.
* In a somewhat screwy application of this trope, KITT on the original ''[[Knight Rider]]'' is prejudiced against motorcycles. I repeat: not against bikers, against their vehicles. This is played for laughs, not unreasonably.
* While this plays a part in many versions of ''[[The Addams Family]]'', with unsavory types disliking the Family for being, well, strange, nowhere is it more apparent than the [[Netflix]] series ''[[Wednesday]]''. [[Predecessor Villain| Joseph Crackstone]], the founder of the town of Jericho was an unapologetic puritan who falsely implicated "outcasts" (as in, vampires, werewolves, and other denizens of supernatural origin) for no reason other than hating him. {{spoiler|Ironically, when he finally appears in person during the season one finale, still referring to the Nevermore students as "abominations", he is obviously not human anymore himself, having been resurrected as an undead monstrosity who uses dark sorcery. He’s a chauvinist on top of it, given how he threatens Laurel - who resurrected him and saved him from a Fate Worse Than Death - to rip her tongue out.}}
** Speaking of which, {{spoiler|Laurel is no better, not even pretending to be the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] he is, flat out admitting that her motives are hate and revenge.}}
** Sheriff Donovan doesn't like the Nevermore students either, but he is more like a [[Noble Bigot with a Badge]].
