{{quote|''"Racism was not a problem on the [[Discworld]], because - what with trolls and dwarfs and so on - speciesism was more interesting. Black and white [[Enemy Mine|lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green]]."''|'''[[Terry Pratchett]]'''
A subset of the old trick of dealing with thorny issues through [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|metaphor]]. Instead of having the hero encounter racism between, say, whites and blacks in the American [[Deep South]], or between ethnic Czech and Roma in the Czech Republic, or between Ainu and Japanese, or any other sets of real-world groups, they encounter racism between two-headed aliens and three-headed aliens, or between [[Elves Versus Dwarves|Elves and Dwarves]], or [[Fur Against Fang|Werewolves and Vampires]], [[Un-Equal Rites|witches and wizards]], humans and [[Muggle Power|super humans]] or [[Just a Machine|humans and intelligent robots]], or even [[Robots Enslaving Robots|robots and robots]].
