Line 9:
Note that this can also cover other types of prejudice; anti-homosexual sentiment, religious differences, and so on.
 
Related to [[Space Jews]], in which ''the story'' has dubious racist overtones. Also related to [[Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?]], when monsters are used as a metaphor for alternative sexual identity, rather than race. [[Fantastic Slurs]] are often involved, as are [[Monster Rights Movement|Monster Rights Movements]]s. [[Real Life]] weaselly lines like [[Some of My Best Friends Are X]] may feature. The undesired minorities may be rounded up inside a [[Fantastic Ghetto]], they may also be the targets of [[Super Human Trafficking]].
 
If the point of the story is to show the evils of racism, this trope can lead to a [[Broken Aesop]] if there are in fact [[Fantastic Aesop|good in-universe reasons to discriminate]] against a certain type of creature (say, because they need to drink human blood in order to survive, or they genuinely don't have free will or a sense of ethics like humans do).
