* [[Cute Witch]] Yukari Sendou of ''[[Rosario
** Ruby suffered a somewhat worse case.
* [[Warrior Prince|Conrad Weller]] from ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]'' appears to have had fine individual relationships with each of his parents, but be unable to really connect with humans or fit in with Mazoku. His [[Royal Brat|favorite brother]] rejected him completely as a child after learning he was [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-human]], and his entire racial sub-group of 'half-Mazoku' are [[Fantastic Racism|systematically persecuted]] throughout the world.
** In the last war, the strongest and most loyal of the crossbreeds of Shin Makoku (the main character's adopted country and where they get the ''best'' treatment) formed a patriotic unit which was intentionally sent ''by his uncle'' on the suicide mission of defending Rutenburg Pass, out of which only Conrad and Yozak emerged alive. They won. They just ''all died''. This trope is at least seventy percent of why Conrad is [[Stepford Smiler|so weird]].
*** Note that said uncle was serving as regent for his mother, the actual ruler at the time, who loves him very much but didn't ''do anything''.

But he was a [[Complete Monster]] in life, and it's revealed {{spoiler|after his death that he was 100% Caucasian. His black slave made up that rumor to get revenge on his master. It's [[An Aesop]] that racism harms the perpetrators as well as the victims.}}
* Dutch movie Sonny Boy (2011) is an example of this set in [[WW 2]].
* The film ''[[Australia]]'' explores the plight of half-Aboriginal children.
Line 93:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Family Guy]]'' Parodied in "The Griffin Family History" which contains a ''[[Roots]]'' spoof.
{{quote|Stewie: "You know the best part of being half white and half black. When I grow up I'll be accepted by everyone."}}
* Uncle Ruckus (no relation) on ''[[Boondocks]]''. Sorta. He ''thinks'' he's white and has re-vitiligo. He's also claimed to be Indian and numerous white ethnicities.
