Line 43:
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' adventure ''The Mark of the Rani'', the Rani compares the exploitation of lesser series with stepping on ants.
* In the [[Dungeons and Dragons]] episode of [[Community]], Britta tries to tell a Gnome waiter that he's just as good as they are. Abed (as dungeon-master) replies that according to the game rules, no, he's actually not, and the gang are justified in treating him however they want because of this trope.
* The Minbari of [[Babylon 5]] believed that their status as the oldest Non-First One Space Faring Civilization gave them the right to exterminate the entire human race simply to avenge the death of their leader in a botched first contact that was as much their fault as it was the Humans.
* ''[[Star Trek Deep Space 9]]''- In the season 5 episode "Waltz", Captain Sisko and Gul Dukat discuss the Cardassion occupation of Bajor. The following exchange occurs:
{{quote|SISKO: So, why do you think they didn't appreciate this rare opportunity you were offering them?
DUKAT: Because they were blind, ignorant fools. If only they had cooperated with us, we could have turned their world into a paradise. From the moment we arrived on Bajor, it was clear that we were the superior race. But they couldn't accept that. They wanted to be treated as equals when they most certainly were not. Militarily, technologically, culturally, we were almost a century ahead of them in every way. We did not choose to be the superior race. Fate handed us our role. And it would've been so much easier on everyone if the Bajorans had simply accepted their role. But no, day after day they clustered in their temples and prayed for deliverance, and night after night they planted bombs outside of our homes. Pride. Stubborn, unyielding pride. From the servant girl that cleaned my quarters to the condemned man toiling in a labour camp to the terrorist skulking through the hills of Dahkur Province. They all wore their pride like some twisted badge of honour.}}
