A subset of National Stereotypes, these examples deal with people who were born into the position they are currently in. Not in a sense of nationality or ethnicity, but their general cultural background. It is normally possible for someone to make a conscious choice to stop being one. | |

Da Ali G Show: Ali G dresses a hip-hop artist, speaks in American hip-hop vernacular with a British accent, lives in Staines (a wealthy London suburb figuratively a million miles from South Central LA), and is a complete idiot. A large part of the humour of his character us the dissonance between his imagined gangsta image and the reality of being an ignorant fool from a mundane part of Britain. | |

In Lunar: The Silver Star, the citizens of a town called Meryod were on the receiving end of non-stop inbreeding/pervert/"backwards"/drunk jokes from our heroes. There was exactly one guy in the town who hit on Mia, and they all had ridiculously exaggerated southern dialect, but other than that there was not much justification for the ridicule. (Granted, most of the ridicule was from Nash, who's an elitist bastard anyway, but he wasn't called on it...) | |

Attack on Titan: Both the anime and manga go to exceptional lengths to paint absolutely everyone with any semblance of income as selfish, vile or sadistic. The series gets more and more aggressive in this portrayal, with a chief example being that the heroes purposely allow and even encourage the deaths of thousands of the inner-wall rich folk by releasing a dangerous titan among the populous in the hopes that they will be taken more seriously. This is presented as a heroic act to the reader/watcher. And it only gets worse. However, there is the counter-balance of the Reeves Corporation, specifically its boss Dimo Reeves, who initially appeared as a bit character during the Trost Arc to showcase individual greed against saving the lives of many, but is given Hidden Depths when the Survey Corps talks to him and he reveals he cares deeply for Trost. His son, who is next in line to take up the company mantle, is also shown in sympathetic light. |

Mint Blancmanche in the Galaxy Angel games is targeted by her Evil Counterpart because her money comes from her parents' business dealings, and his comes from very old inheritance.

Granted, this may be because they are pretty much the only group with any power to cause trouble outside of lone madmen sparking some chaos. Vimes, who despises aristocrats despite reluctantly becoming one (although not as much as he hates vampires or the specific rank of king), has made it clear that the poor are no different from the rich and powerful except they have no money or power. That is, there is nothing inherently bad about those at the top, except for the fact that being at the top allows them to cause wide ranging trouble most poor people cannot; similarly, the poor who grumble about the rich abusing their wealth and power would be no more unlikely to similarly abuse such wealth and power if they possessed it. | |

Somewhat averted with Scrooge McDuck. While he's undoubtedly a cheapskate and an anti-social curmudgeon, he has been shown to have earned his money through a combination of back-breaking work and challenging expeditions. Also, while he doesn't give generously to general charities, when he personally comes across someone he feels is deserving, his generosity tends to be overflowing. This was retconned from the original Disney Scrooge McDuck, who was as penny-pinching and stingy as his namesake Ebenezer Scrooge. Even today, Scrooge's generosity isn't "overflowing," more like "begrudging." Still, he knows to put his family before his money and also, in a rare example for acceptable targets, Scrooge's faults for being just a selfish rich guy are largely the things that make him so much fun, if not endearing. This is subverted in so many stories that a popular theory claims his anti-social vein is an act to avoid showing weakness. He's frequently shown being generous when he thinks his relatives aren't looking. |

On My Name Is Earl, Earl is solving an item on his list related to this: taking advantage of young women from a nearby Amish-like village (which is now facing a shortage of women, seeing as Earl and Randy showed them what they were missing!) The village is described as being so extremely Luddite that even the wheel is looked upon as an abomination. | |

Nobility in Black Clover are not portrayed positively. For the most part, with some characters growing out of it, they are arrogant, classist, and elitist, using their higher magical power as a reason to act superior to peasants. Even commoner Magic Knights face discrimination from their comrades. High-born families like the Silva, Vaude, and Legolant houses disown their children if they don't meet their standards as mages. Many noble Magic Knights abuse their position and power, with Zora becoming a vigilante after he saw two of them try to rape a waitress as a reward. It's also established that most nobility are lazy, looking down on hard work as something only commoners do and never reaching their full magical potential as a result. | |

Tony Stark is traditionally an aversion of this as well, having inherited his company and being incredibly wealthy. Although, most versions of Tony Stark portray him as having been some level of Upper-Class Twit before the near-death experience that pushed him into becoming Iron Man, basically saying that him getting blown up was the act of redemption that turned him from a callous, misguided rich man into a good guy who just happened to have lots of money. To put it bluntly, Stark was more or less someone who was continuing the family trade. However, like his father before him, he did not just inherit the job and sit back to let the profit roll in. Since he was in the weapons business, he also designed and built the next generation and the upgrades which means that while he did inherit a lot of money, he also earned a good deal of it himself as well. |

In the Fallout 3 DLC 'Point Lookout', one branch of enemies are... Well, grossly exaggerated hillbilly stereotypes. They live in run-down wooden shacks. They dress in torn workers' jeans. They are hideously deformed by inbreeding. Their mental capacity has devolved to the point where they can only speak short sentences (in thick dialects, of course) and attack everything that moves, wielding double-barrel shotguns, axes and shovel. They brew moonshine. They eat people. Also, they are registered in the games programming as creatures rather than NPCs. | |

Of course, NASCAR fandom has a lot of crossover with this, along with the "your hobby isn't cool enough so we mock you" sort of acceptable target. A good example of this is the elitist smirking that a lot of people attach to the reception of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby in the South, which is to say quite positive. Since those doing the stereotyping decided to interpret the movie as a vicious Take That! instead of an Affectionate Parody, the usual statement is that rednecks and NASCAR fans were too stupid to realize they were being made fun of. The idea that these people might have not only gotten the joke, but still thought it was funny, never seems to cross these reviewers' minds. | |

Batman: Bruce Wayne is another famous aversion, particularly in that he didn't do anything to earn his phenomenal wealth, but uses it so responsibly he gets a free pass. Averted by the movies, in which Bruce Wayne is shown as a very active participant in the day-to-day activities of Wayne Enterprises, using the corporate name and resources not only to continue being rich but also for philanthropic purposes and (covertly) to support his mission as Batman. Also in some versions Bruce's father was a Doctor and the mansion was a family home. In those versions Bruce Wayne created Wayne Enterprises and built it up from nothing. Lex Luthor, Derrick Powers, and a handful of others from various DC properties, not so much. Tony Stark is traditionally an aversion of this as well, having inherited his company and being incredibly wealthy. Although, most versions of Tony Stark portray him as having been some level of Upper-Class Twit before the near-death experience that pushed him into becoming Iron Man, basically saying that him getting blown up was the act of redemption that turned him from a callous, misguided rich man into a good guy who just happened to have lots of money.

Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock fits this like a glove. His actor, Jack McBrayer, really is from the South and the stereotype is taken to such a ridiculous extent that they simply must be invoking it on purpose. This case is pretty much driven by Rule of Funny. While Kenneth is constantly talking up his pig-farmin', hill-people-battlin', moonshine-drinkin' hillbillyness, when the show flashed back to his high school reunion the crowd reflected Stone Mountain's real-world (majority African-American) demographics, because that was funnier. |

Similarly averted in Little Orphan Annie. Daddy Warbucks, while something of a hardass, is also treated with respect as he's worked his way up from poverty and donates to worthy causes. Plus Annie manages to get him to soften up some. Aside from the allusion to war profiteering in his name. The positive portrayal of the wealthy is very intentional, the original author was highly conservative and consequently a huge fan of the self-made businessmen. He used his spite instead on things like labor unions and New Deal programs. |

An early episode of Monk featured the "clueless geek" type winding up murdered because he was trying to help an old college friend that he didn't know was screwing his wife. This was actually a bit of a twofer, since you had the "lame nerd" rich guy and his evil, conniving rich wife. | |

This trope is a favorite of crime dramas. It generally pits the "salt of the earth" cops against the wealthy snobs, and throws in the complication of the system being against the cop too, since being rich obviously means having connections to politically powerful people. Seriously, when's the last time you saw someone rich on Law & Order who wasn't either guilty of something or protecting a family member who was? May be partially justified based on the Ripped from the Headlines nature of many of the stories. |

Of course, it isn't entirely their fault - DeviantArt is so stuffed to bursting with genuine weeaboos that the notion someone might use such words in any other context becomes increasingly unbelievable to them. ...so you'll have the weeaboo Hatedom insulting and mocking you, and possibly also the actual weeaboos blowing a fuse at you for not using Japanese 'properly.

One of the ultimate examples of this is Lady Constance in Gosford Park, an utterly horrible, snobbish, snide and mean-spirited aristocrat who looks down on anyone who doesn't have a title, despite the fact that she's probably the most useless character in the entire movie possessing no trade, skills or abilities whatsoever - she can't even open a flask of coffee by herself. She's also a total hypocrite, seeing as her fancy title was actually 'bought' for her, her brother being a wealthy industrialist who supports her. | |

Averted in the movie Meet Joe Black, wherein Anthony Hopkins' character is fabulously wealthy with a huge mansion on an enormous estate, but is portrayed as a morally upright, likable family man who worked hard for everything he has. | |

How to Train Your Dragon takes everything about dragons and deconstructs it in front of you. And Hiccup himself deconstructs this for everyone in the film not named Hiccup. | |

Pinkie Pie's boring, rock-farming family, seen in a flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", paint a rather unflattering portrayal of the Amish as being dark, gloomy, serious farmers who don't know what having fun means. Of course, this is Pinkie Pie we're talking about... | |

Clint Eastwood does it hilariously and memorably in Gran Torino when he successfully intimidates a group of black gangsters and a "wigger" nearby cheers, Clint growls "These guys don't want to be your brothers, and I don't blame them!" | |

The Comics Curmudgeon: While Accentuate the Negative is his general style, Josh Fruhlinger (a.k.a. The Comics Curmudgeon) seems to reserve a special level of contempt and disdain for the newspaper comic Pluggers, which typically chronicles the exploits of older, more rural individuals. Each one is rephrased as a way to say that such individuals are, among other things, alcoholics, abusers, morons, or occasionally racists. And don't forget all the meth labs and cross burnings in Hootin Holler Snuffy Smith! As well as the denizens of Lost Forest Mark Trail — which is rather bizarre, since these days, over-the-top environmentalism is more generally associated with elitist, middle-to-upper-class liberals. |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tara's rural family is portrayed as pure, undistilled redneck stereotypes. The one family member initially shown to have at least some attractive qualities turns out to be a female with decidedly retrograde notions of male-female roles in society. Oh, and the men perpetuate a totally fabricated family myth to keep the women in the family down. All in all, a grand slam for rural stereotyping. Or perhaps they were just bastard control freaks. Riley was from a small-town in Iowa and was portrayed in a fairly positive manner. Not to mention that said female seemed a little too close to her uncle. |

An episode of Dexter's Laboratory deals with a bully who "hates kids with funny accents". It turns on him in the end when he accidentally gets hit in the face and the swelling creates an accent for himself. | |
