A form of Bait-and-Switch comedy that teases with prejudice and discrimination, where one party looks like they're about to discriminate against someone for one reason, a reason that would be appallingly un-PC (race, gender, possibly leading to a Gender Scoff, religion, etc), but in reality ... it's because they like avocado ice cream. (What? Don't judge it till you try it!)
If the accuser has some kind of unsavory character trait, expect the accused to reply with, "I don't hate you because you're [minority status], I hate you because you're [perfectly legit reason to dislike them]."
Writers can play with this by switching the second reason. The character seems to be discriminated against for an unacceptable and bigoted reason, and then it turns out that they're being discriminated against for a completely different, equally unacceptable, bigoted reason.
Not to be confused with Pretend Prejudice. Also not to be confused with Persecution Flip. Compare Mistaken for Racist, Stereotype Reaction Gag. Also invokes Good Flaws, Bad Flaws: the snubber is still a jerk, but at least for a "good" reason.

Subtly in Night Watch, when Vimes is horrified to discover Carrot has left female dwarf Sergeant Littlebottom in charge of a dangerously unfolding siege situation...because she's from the Forensic division, not Street. As it turns out, Cheery's made a series of smart, sensible tactical decisions anyway, and he shouldn't have worried.

Played with in Everybody Hates Chris, when the white coach informs Chris that he hates "people". The narration snarks "black people", but as the coach continues, it becomes clear he's a misanthrope. He mentions several negative stereotypes applied to black people, concluding with "they're lazy. White people are so lazy that they needed slaves to do the work for 'em."

The Ultimate Spider-Man arc "Spider-Verse" has the Goblin traveling to alternate realities to collect the DNA of various Spider-Men, with his Spider-Man hot on his tail. Eventually, they wind up in the comic book Ultimate Spider-Man, where Miles Morales has already replaced the deceased Peter Parker. When Miles reveals his true identity to Spider-Man, Peter is surprised because he wasn't expecting that world's Spider-Man to be so... young. Of course, by that point, he had already visited one universe where he was a girl, and another where he was a talking pig, so a racial difference probably wouldn't be too surprising. Humorously, the comic book did the same gag, as described above.

In NoHoper, Amanda thinks that Light hates the now-dead fledgling Diana because she turned her nose up at him during lunch that day. It's actually just because he's a sociopath and Diana is a fledgling vampyre. Also when Light goes berserk and nearly kills Damien during their fencing lesson, Damien wonders if he's a homophobe or something but then Light didn't seem to have a problem with Jack. Light doesn't have a problem with Damien being gay—he has a problem with him being a vampyre.

In Tripping Over You, when Liam finally comes out to his father, his dad promptly shows relief and comments that he was afraid that Liam was sneaking around because he was doing drugs. He promptly reveals that he's also angry about the whole "dating another guy" thing, but prioritizes the fact that Liam wants to quit law school. Eventually, his dad calms down a little, and it's implied that his real problem with the situation is that Liam didn't tell him about it sooner and instead lied about what he had been doing for so long.

Inverted in Desperate Housewives, Carlos suspects (correctly) that his wife is having an affair, but not with whom. Suspecting the TV repairman, he breaks into his house and beats him up. Then he looks around in the house and notices the artwork and photos of a boyfriend... it's pretty clear the man is gay. The repairman, shocked by the violent assault, asks Carlos if he is beating him up because he is gay. Carlos sheepishly says, "Yes!" and quickly runs away. He makes the same mistake again towards the end of the season and ends up being arrested and charged with a hate crime.

The Twelve: Dynamic Man is homophobic to the point where some of the others wonder if he's secretly gay, and can't be bothered to chase a purse snatcher after learning that the victim is a white woman married to a black man. It would normally just be an instance of Deliberate Values Dissonance, were it not for the fact that he's actually disdainful of ANY expression of sexuality; Dynamic Man is actually a Ridiculously Human Robot built by a scientist with vehemently anti-sex views.

Runaways:
Karolina's relationship with Xavin is seen as disgusting by her fellow Majesdanians not because she's a lesbian, but because Xavin is a Skrull. In an earlier issue, when Klara is first introduced she is shocked by Karolina and Xavin's relationship (being from the early 1900s) but she doesn't seem to be too bothered that Karolina is white and Xavin is "a negress".
Played with in the revival series, with Gert objects to Karolina and Julie's relationship... because she finds Julie bossy and annoying. She's alarmed by Molly's crush on her female classmate... because that classmate is obviously a supervillain. She's disgusted by Klara being adopted by a gay couple... because they're parents, which is evil. And she objects to Karolina and Nico dating... because they're playing at being superheroes. It's all totally just a bizarre coincidence that all these situations that she objects to just happen to involve homosexuality, and totally isn't a reflection of her feelings about gay people.

House had a father disapproving of his son's relationship with the black girl next door. Everyone assumes it's because the girl is black, but it turns out the father isn't racist. He had an affair with the girl's mother, so his son and the neighbor girl are half-siblings. Unfortunately, the father doesn't want anyone finding out about the affair, so he doesn't admit the real reason, and the young lovers run away together.

That '70s Show: When a gay couple moves in next to the Formans, it's not the fact that they're gay that ruins any chance at friendship with conservative, old-fashioned Red. It's the fact that they're Minnesota Vikings fans, while Red is about as big of a Green Bay Packers fan as you'll ever see. Though Red was initially uneasy upon learning that the men were a gay couple. He was just able to come to terms with it.

The Simpsons:
In "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe", Moe starts dating a "Little Person". Moe at one point claims to need to prepare a "car seat". Turns out he took out the passenger-side seat to save on petrol. When Moe later brings said little person to the Simpson house, Homer says that he wants to ask her a "mechanical question". Moe gets nervous, but it turns out he actually meant a mechanical question (as in, a question about mechanics). When she answers with expert accuracy, Homer turns to Moe and says "Put a ring on that!"
In "Fear of Flying", Homer is banned from Moe's and is searching for another bar. He ends up at what is clearly a lesbian bar...
In "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo", when the Simpson family is going to Japan:

Team 8: Kurenai tries to give Naruto a lesson about sexism by asking him whether he'd prefer to face Shino or Hinata in a serious fight. Naruto selects Hinata, reasoning that while she's a capable fighter, she's gentle at heart. Kurenai then offers the choice between Sasuke and Sakura instead. Naruto immediately chooses Sasuke because he knows how violent and ill-tempered Sakura can be.

In Neighbours, Chris briefly suspects Kyle of homophobia when he shows reluctance to let him rent the spare room at No. 26. Kyle clarifies that it was because Chris is in a relationship, something that Kyle and Rhys don't exactly want to be rubbed in their faces while both are going through bad breakups.

Arrested Development:
Lucille complains about having been woken by a "colored man". The color in question being blue; her son-in-law was trying out for the Blue Man Group and didn't warn her before coming over.
In another episode, a pair of African-American brothers accuse George Michael of bigotry. Not because they're black, but because he hates twins.

Played totally straight in an episode of Father Dowling Mysteries in which the crime involves an African-American family. Father Dowling's housekeeper gets on well with the wise old grandfather, but when he suggests taking their relationship further she explains she can't do that, they're too different. Because he's Episcopalian. And everyone shares a good laugh about religious intolerance.

In Gimme a Break!, a black female character was rejected for a job, and she thought it was because she was black. So while she was bringing discrimination charges, several black (male) employees seemed to gratuitously walk by. The character asserted they were just hired to refute the charges, causing the suspected racist to say, "And people wonder why I don't hire women!"

He points out that if that was the case, he wouldn't be working with the very obviously alien Chiss. He ignored them because they were politicians.

The unfortunately short-lived Andy Richter Controls the Universe contained an amusing variation. In one episode Andy delivers an offensive tirade against the Irish, not realizing that his new coworker is Irish. The new coworker is also black, so when the incident is reported to Andy's superior, she (a black woman) assumes he was insulting black people. When he corrects her that he was insulting the Irish she replies, "Oh... well, then what's the problem?" The scene then smash cuts to another scene of said superior being chewed out by her superiors, and the cycle repeats.

On Supernatural, the season 3 opener has a couple of African-American hunters being accosted in a bar (The Old Terminal Pub) by a hostile white skinhead. His taunts seem like the standard "Your kind don't belong in here" schtick... until his Black Eyes of Evil are revealed. In this case, "your kind" means monster-hunters, because the skinhead and everyone else in the bar is possessed.
When Jo follows Dean on a case against Ellen's orders, Dean makes it clear he's siding with Ellen and tells her she's out of her depth.

King of the Hill:
"My Own Private Rodeo" had Dale's father, who turns out to be gay, try to come out of the closet to Dale, who thinks that his father is a real lady-killer. After informing Dale that the rodeo he works at is a gay rodeo and that the man he's friends with is his "partner", Dale explodes at him, uninviting him to his wedding, and telling him to get out. It certainly looks like Dale is incredibly homophobic, but as it turns out, he thinks his father just admitted to being a government agent, the natural enemy of Conspiracy Theorists like Dale. Dale is rather confused as to how anyone could think he hates gays. After all, he's been friends with John Redcorn for years!
"Racist Dawg" had Hank acting very off-put around a black man who'd arrived to fix his water heater, and Ladybird, picking up his hostility toward the stranger, attacked him. Everyone assumed Hank was racist, performing church songs in front of his house to "cure his intolerance," and Peggy got him to do some humiliating things to "learn to overcome." Even Hank started to get worried that he was subconsciously a racist. Eventually, when a new, white repairman came, Hank and Ladybird acted the same way. Hank doesn't hate black people. He hates repairmen, because he can't stand the idea of anyone but him fixing things in his own house.

A non-comedic example in Wolfheart, when Varian Wrynn shows up at a meeting of Alliance leaders and expresses his dislike for the proposed membership of the worgen from Gilneas. Everyone initially assumes he has an issue with them being worgen. Nope, he's cool with that. He just distrusts Gilneans and Lord Genn Greymane in particular for abandoning the Alliance during the Third War.

Done beautifully right as The Daily Show was getting ready to announce Barack Obama's Presidential win. Stephen Colbert has been sulking through the entire show because McCain is losing.
One of Colbert's running jokes is that he's completely colorblind to race, and can't tell without asking, or having some event related to stereotypes about black or white people occur to him. (He can get a cab in New York. Police officers call him "sir". He dances with his thumbs out...)
Colbert also had a scene in which he blasted a gay rights poster that showed two women kissing under the words "Shocking? For who?" as Sick and Wrong... because it's supposed to be "For whom?"

Just like in the House example above, it turns out Dad actually loves black people, especially black women.

American Dad!:
When Francine kicks out a classmate of Steve's, Steve and Hayley think it was because she was black, but it turned out to be because she was left-handed. Francine had been taught by the nun that raised her that lefties were evil (even though she was one).
In another episode, Francine becomes a real estate agent and Stan chastises her for selling a house in their neighborhood to a well-known openly gay couple. She is about to defend it but it turns out Stan doesn't like them because they are reporters. It actually becomes a Running Gag for a while that he doesn't even realize they're gay, he thinks they're just two bachelors who live together.
In another episode, Stan has a classic line about this, after he abuses an anti-terrorism law to seize the house of any neighbor who doesn't like him. What makes it more notable is that, as Stan lampshades himself, the actual meaning is even worse.
In "The Unbrave One" Steve and Roger travel through a slum looking for crime to fight.

In "Troq", the Very Special Episode of Teen Titans, Starfire (the subject of Fantastic Racism) asks black teammate Cyborg if he knew how it felt to be the subject of discrimination. His response (after a brief pause) implied discrimination on account of being half-machine, rather than being black. (OK, half-black, half-machine.) There's a good reason for that switch, since Starfire probably would just have been confused if Cyborg had mentioned being discriminated against for being black. Not because she's The Ditz, but because she's from another planet and thus would have no experience with Earth's history of racism. Additionally, Cyborg's response subverting expectations added a bit of levity without drowning the message, and even facilitates it by not making his perspective solely about the African-American plight so more viewers could relate.

A relatively harmless example comes from an old Iron Man annual where Tony visits the African nation of Wakanda. While flirting with a beautiful Wakandan woman, Tony tells her that she reminds him of a girl he used to date named Wendy, but with one huge difference. The reader expects Tony to say Wendy wasn't black, but instead, he says the difference is that the Wakandan woman is much taller.

The fall of the Berlin Wall is to Goodbye Lenin what the American Revolution is to Rip Van Winkle, the sheltered East German mother's reaction to the obviously gay couple moving into their building is one of absolute shock... because they're from Wuppertal, in West Germany.

When Sensei shows disapproval for Kim's recent behavior in I'm Scared Too, Ron thinks he's referring to her kissing Bonnie and accuses him of homophobia. He was actually referring to her underage drinking and drunken tirade:

Early in A Song of Grumbling & Cotton Candy, Pizzazz calls Clash in an angry panic. Clash thinks that Pizzazz is angry about Kimber and Stormer's relationship and threatens to burn all her Misfits memorabilia if Pizzazz is homophobic. However, Pizzazz is actually panicking because she wants Clash to help her figure out if she's gay or not (despite the fact she's sitting in Jem's room after a date).

Stargate SG-1:
In the pilot episode, Captain Samantha Carter, Stargate Command's new astrophysics expert, eventually loses her cool over Colonel O'Neill's poor attitude towards her and gives a "just because my reproductive organs are in the inside" lecture that would itself become ripe for lampshading in later seasons. Afterward, O'Neill kindly explains that he has no problem serving with women. It's scientists he doesn't like.
In a later episode of the series, the Eurondans show a distinct dislike for Teal'c, not because he's a Jaffa (a perfectly good reason considering what the Goa'uld do), but because he's dark-skinned.

A subversion of the "equally unacceptable" variety occurs in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Destiny", in which a Cardassian engineer is arguing with O'Brien over how to repair part of the station. He initially thinks it's about him being a human, but it turns out that Cardassians' traditional gender roles put men on the battlefield and women in the sciences, so Gilora Rejal was a bit miffed at first to be working with a man. And then it gets even weirder when it turns out Gilora actually thought O'Brien was flirting with her the whole time, Cardassians apparently having a racial tendency towards Belligerent Sexual Tension. Once O'Brien explains that she was just genuinely getting on his nerves and that he's already married, she apologizes and they finish the job with no further problems.

Archer:
Unlike most examples on this page, Mallory often makes vocally racist remarks (though usually towards Mexicans and other immigrants), which makes this even more unexpected.
Malory's also alternatively hot for and cold on black people. "The Limited" has her pushing around a black porter on a train, with Lana finally losing it when she calls him George... until the porter reveals his name actually is George. Although Malory was just as surprised as Lana to learn that fact.
"The Figgis Agency" has Archer ask Cheryl to look into a high-priced Hollywood divorce attorney named Alan Shapiro. After a few seconds, Cheryl says, "Well, we can guess he doesn't eat shellfish!" Everyone reacts negatively, but Cheryl reveals it's because he's allergic. Subverted when Archer points out she shouldn't assume a lawyer with the name "Shapiro" is Jewish... and she says, "Gross! He's Jewish?"

The human version of Peridot is Afghani with English as a second language and wears a hijab. She has a long monologue about toxic relationships which the reader is led to believe refers to the relationship between Lapis and Jasper, referring to one of the parties as "he". In the fic, Jasper is an intersex trans woman, so it seems like Peridot is homophobic/transphobic and misgendering her, possibly related to Peridot's upbringing in a country with homophobic laws... until the end of her monologue where it's revealed she wasn't talking about Lapis and Jasper at all, and in fact was talking about a Camp Pining Hearts ship she hates.

Used in a frequently quoted bit from Seinfeld. Jerry's dentist Tim Whatley tells him a mildly offensive Jewish joke, then explains that it's OK because the dentist just converted to Judaism. Jerry also catches Tim telling Catholic jokes and saying that it's OK because he used to be Catholic ("If he ever gets Polish citizenship, there'll be no stopping him!"). Jerry later goes to Tim's former Catholic church and complains to the priest that he thinks Tim converted to Judaism purely so he could tell Jewish jokes. When the priest asks, "And that offends you as a Jewish person?" Jerry says, "No, it offends me as a comedian!" And in the same episode, Jerry tells a joke about dentists and gets accused of being an "anti-dentite". When Tim talks about how his people have been persecuted, Jerry asks "The Jews?", to which he responds, "No, dentists!"

Slightly Damned: Kazai does a double. First, you think that gay angels are considered pure blasphemy in angel society (It isn't. Might have something to do with his goddess being slightly hippie-like). Then the angel in question turns into a werewolf, and that would open a can of worms, but he's not concerned about telling his boyfriend that. AND THEN it turns out that because his crush is a Fire caste and he's a Water caste, that might be considered scandalous because X-elemental angels are supposed to inbreed with other X-elemental angels. Kieri is simply baffled, considering HER discriminatory romance is LITERALLY blasphemous...

Some changes to the team at the start of season 3 of Warehouse 13 led to men briefly outnumbering women in the main cast for the first time. When Mika returned, Claudia told her how glad she was to see her back, after having felt outnumbered in this sausage-fest. She didn't care about gender ratios, the others just eat way too much meat at breakfast and she was glad to have another healthy eater on the team.

In the American remake of Death at a Funeral Elaine, a black woman, is going to her uncle's funeral accompanied by her white fiancé Oscar, who is extremely aware that his prospective father in law hates him, the implication being that it is because he doesn't want a white man marrying his daughter. Actually, it turns out Elaine's father just hates Oscar because he thinks Oscar is an idiot and he wanted Elaine to marry her ex, Derek, who is also white.

A weird example in the first Only an Excuse? live show, parodying sectarianism in Scottish football. Two supporters are in the stands waiting for the teams to come out, and when they do, one supporter lets fly with a torrent of anti-Catholic abuse. The other then does likewise with anti-Protestant abuse. Then the first one says "Right, that's our team dealt with, now for the opposition!"

Hate Plus has the log "Worthless as a wife" from a man who, curiously, has been shown to be very supportive of his scientist spouse until then. He still is-he's parroting the words she related to him during her Despair Speech and bout of Internalized Categorism where she's begun to buy into the increasingly sexist culture of her society and is breaking under the strain, and he's more than a little scared for her. Depending on which AI you're with, the reactions are relief (*Hyun-ae) or confusion about him being unhappy she's trying to be a better wife (*Mute).

In Anger Management, Adam Sandler is frustrated that the stewardess keeps ignoring him and, when an Air Marshall, who is also having a bad day, gets involved, Sandler's character says, "What's wrong with you people (meaning airline people)?" The Marshall, who is black, retorts, "What do you mean, 'you people?'" The marshall had also scolded Sandler a few seconds before that for making reference to a "stewardess" instead of a "flight attendant" and attempted to instill post-9/11 guilt in him for making a scene on an airplane.

Abbie proceeds to explain how times have changed and the current progress of gay rights until Ichabod cuts her off explaining that he was actually bothered by one of the men wearing a hat indoors. He goes on to explain that he knows about homosexuals since he trained under Baron von Steuben...and he watched the finale of Glee.
Zigzagged in an earlier episode. Ichabod seems surprised by the fact that Abbie works for the police. Not because she's black, but because she's a woman.

Happens often to Wallace White in Leftover Soup. He wants to be the white side in chess (or it's equivalent) not because he's black, but because his last name is White. Jamie is brought to him for a suite not for, as he initially assumed, a "gay makeover" but because they are about the same size and Wallace was sure to be home. Even Word of God States that he has a large penis not because he's black, but because he represents the author's idealized self.

MoringMark - TOH Comics: One comic has Odalia tell Luz she doesn't want her to date Amity. Luz asks if this is because she's a girl, but Odalia doesn't care about that; she just thinks Luz is too low-class.note In canon, discrimination against LGBT people is effectively non-existent on the Boiling Isles; nobody considers Willow having two dads to be anything out of the ordinary, and the openly non-binary Raine was able to rise to the prestigious position of head of the Bard Coven.

In Ouran High School Host Club, Haruhi's father is a crossdresser who works at a drag bar and prefers to wear heels and makeup when he's out and about. In a flashback, her dad finds out she didn't tell him about parent-teacher night, and worries she doesn't want him to come. Not helping matters is when his coworker rather insensitively says it's probably because she's embarrassed to have a crossdresser for a father. But when he sadly asks her if that's true, a shocked Haruhi says she couldn't care less what people think about that. She didn't say anything because she knows her dad works himself to the bone to provide for them, and she didn't want him to spend his night off at a boring school function.

Secret Histories: Martha Drood does not approve of Roger and Harry. Both Harry and Eddie assume it's because she's part of the conservative Drood old guard and therefore doesn't like that Harry's gay. Actually, she's fine with his sexuality; her real issue is that Roger's a half-demon... and also Harry's half-brother.

Men at Arms: For most of the book, Carrot, and by extension the reader, assumes that Vimes doesn't want Angua in the City Watch because she's female; at one point, Angua herself starts to say "is it because I'm a w—?" It turns out that she was going to say "werewolf."

During the United We Stand crossover in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Miles Morales gets captured by a brainwashed Cassie Lang. When Cassie reports to her superiors that the new Spider-Man isn't what they'd expect, Miles calls her a racist, only to then realize she's referring to the fact that he's only 13, not that he's black.

In an Archie Comics story from The '60s, Veronica, seeing Chuck and Jughead some distance away, tells Archie she doesn't want "his kind" at her upcoming party. Archie assumes she's prejudiced against blacks and launches into a tirade, saying if Chuck isn't welcome there, "You can take your party and go plumb to blazes. Dig?" Veronica explains that Chuck is most welcome at the party and that by "his kind" she meant Jughead, who's a "slob".

In an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, Hal's the only white guy at Abe's game of poker, and spends the whole evening feeling like an outsider, then rants for days at the way they treated him. Eventually, he confronts Abe and, after some baiting, exclaims "You and your friends ganged up on me because I'm not a professional"—Abe's other friends being lawyers, dentists and so on. Abe then claims that it was because he's bad at poker and the two decide to have a rematch, with Hal exclaiming "I will OWN you!" before hastily apologizing.

In episode 12 of the third season of NewsRadio, Lisa gets the nod for "Cutest Reporter in New York". Catherine gets upset that Lisa was picked over her and explains that every time she's gotten a promotion, it was because of "you know what". "Because you're black?" Lisa asks innocently. Catherine responds: "What? No, because of these! And this!" (as she points to her bosom and behind, respectively.)

Not Always Right and its sister sites sometimes get these stories.
This woman introduces her sister's wife to some coworkers, with one of them looking very stiff and worried, making one think she's homophobic. Then the wife calmly mentions that she's 26 years old and the coworker relaxes, having mistaken her to be in her mid-teens.
Not Always Related has several stories of kids coming out to their parents as non-heteronormative, only for the parents to take it in stride and revealing that they were worried about them revealing something else, usually something nowhere near as dramatic.
One story had a little girl saying she really didn't like Tiana because she 'didn't like her color'. The teacher was worried about the little girl having racist views, only for her to explain that she really doesn't like the color green.
In this story, the poster and their family had been trying to keep their neighbor's recent gay marriage, a first for their rural and mostly conservative small town, a secret from their elderly grandma. When she found out anyway, the family were prepared to give her a spiel about progress and tolerance, but granny was totally incensed that he would dare marry a man... from a rival small town.
In this story, set in a college dorm, someone burned an abandoned sign that advertised a LBTQ event. Turns out that the culprit is just the local "weird guy", who likes to set stuff on fire and didn't realize what was written on the sign.

Saturday Night Live:
One skit featured Heather Locklear as the saleswoman of a home shopping channel who made incredibly racist statements throughout the broadcast, drawing the ire of viewers. At the end of the skit, a disclaimer was posted in which the writers claimed that they wrote the skit in an effort to show how wrong prejudice and bigotry are... "But of course, that should be obvious to anyone who isn't a retard."
In an edition of Weekend Update, Tina Fey accused Jimmy Fallon of being a "speciesist" after reporting a story about a man being attacked by two black bears, asking "if it was polar bears would you have said 'two white bears'?" Jimmy responds by revealing that he is married to a black bear, shows the audience the wedding photo, and then asks Tina "Who's the idiot now—you, or me, the guy who married a black bear?"

Ffreire's NaruFox AU:
Played With regarding Naruto's situation. In this AU, certain clans are 'animal clans', with the Uzumaki being foxes. Naruto happens to be a nine-tailed fox, much like the one that went on a rampage through Konohagakure and killed the Yondaime. Naruto believes this Fantastic Racism is why most of the village seems to dislike him, though there may be more to the story than he realizes.
Canonically, the Yuki clan were wiped out because of Kirigakure being prejudiced and distrustful of those with kekkei genkai. When Haku relates his past to Team Seven, Naruto and Sasuke assume this was why, only for Haku to reveal that they were snow bunnies.

In Game of Thrones, Cersei accuses her father Tywin of sexism and claims that's why he doesn't trust her with any kind of responsibility. Tywin replies that he doesn't distrust her because she's a woman, but because she isn't nearly as smart as she thinks she is. This exchange was doubtlessly added to make Tywin a tiny bit more likable than in the books where he is a plain old sexist.

Early in the space arc of Arthur, King of Time and Space, Lancelot is homophobic, but talking about it with his friends helps him realise that this is a problem with him, not with others. Guenevere points out that this doesn't seem to have changed his attitude to Dame Tristram, and Lancelot replies that Tristram is committing adultery. (He gets over this long before it becomes hypocritical.)

Spider-Man:
During Ben Reilly's tenure as Spider-Man during The Clone Saga, he was Mistaken for Racist by an African-American undercover cop for his hostile behavior towards the cop. The real reason for Ben's behavior towards the man was the manager of the coffee bar he worked at was the cop's ex-wife, who expressed concern for her son being near him, and said the man was bad news and wasn't reliable—and also neglected to mention the fact he was a cop.
The "Freaky Friday" Flip story "Freaky" from the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) had Peter give a brisk "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the assembled X-Men after they interfere in his life. "Do you know why people hate you? It's not because you're mutants! It's because you're a bunch of @#$#$ $@$%@ ##@$!! That's why!!"
During the United We Stand crossover in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Miles Morales gets captured by a brainwashed Cassie Lang. When Cassie reports to her superiors that the new Spider-Man isn't what they'd expect, Miles calls her a racist, only to then realize she's referring to the fact that he's only 13, not that he's black.
During Spider-Verse, Miles teams up with the Peter Parker from Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) to save the Spider-Man from the '60s animated series. When '60s Spidey expresses shock after seeing Miles' face, Ultimate Spidey assumes that it's because of Deliberate Values Dissonance, but it instead turns out that he was surprised to see that Miles was a teenager, not that he was black.

Genome: When the crew of the starship Mirror discovers that their passengers are a pair of aliens and their clone guide, some of them are a little miffed. One, who is from a planet, whose population seeks to exterminate all aliens, obviously doesn't like or trust aliens. But the navigator Pak initially also sounds like he doesn't like aliens. Nope. Aliens he's okay with. It's clones he can't stand. Why? They take away jokes from non-clones. Earlier, Pak pulls something similar on Alex. When they first meet, while Alex is looking for crewmembers, Pak asks if Alex has a problem with him being gay. Alex looks at him like he's crazy (it's the distant future, after all, all silly superstitions like that are long in the past) and tells him he doesn't discriminate. Pak then tells him he's a Natural (non-genetically-modified). Alex (being a Designer Baby and distrustful of Naturals) realizes he's been led into a trap, knowing he can't reject Pak simply for being a Natural without going back on his claim of not discriminating.

Doctor Who:
"Human Nature": Martha (who is black), working as a maid in 1913, is the subject of jeers from the privately educated kids in the school she's undercover in. She later says to a colleague that it's quite nice that at least the temporarily human Doctor is nice to her because not everyone would be nice...
She is then accosted by a student who makes a horrifically rude comment about her race.
"The Impossible Astronaut"/"Day of the Moon": Canton Everett Delaware III is shown to be a badass government agent who helps the Doctor defeat the Silence after getting kicked out of the FBI for "wanting to get married" in 1969. Right at the end of the arc, Nixon asks him if the person he wants to marry is black because he would be willing to push to overturn that law. "Yes," says Delaware, "he is." Nixon replies that "I think the Moon is far enough for now."
Subverted in "The Snowmen". Dr. Simeon says that the public would never accept that Madame Vastra, the legendary Veiled Detective is... (throws back the veil, reveals she's a lizard-woman) "...a WOMAN!"
Simeon then goes on to deride Vastra's relationship with Jenny as obscene and unnaturalnote And he has a point. Not only is Vastra engaging in the Silurian equivalent of bestiality, Vastra still follows the Silurian custom of eating humans, and it's implied Jenny partakes with her, for added messed-upness. Vastra answers, "I resent the implications of impropriety. We are married."
In "The Day of the Doctor", when Queen Elizabeth I explains how she escaped a Zygon who had been impersonating her:
In "The Eaters of Light", when Bill is telling a Roman soldier that she's not into guys, and he seems perplexed, she (and the audience) is obviously thinking that either he's homophobic or she'll have to explain the whole concept from first principles. Instead he insists that he totally doesn't think it's narrow-minded to only be attracted to one gender.

In Khaos Komix, Charlie's mother runs into Charlie and Tom out in town as Charlie, in a dress was getting her ears pierced. Her mother berates her about how she "Thought she'd brought him up right" and she "knew who influenced her into it". Turns out she freaked out about Charlie getting piercings. Women's clothes?

The Closer: Game of the Year Edition sees an NPC ask the titular protagonist to steal a baseball bat from the bedroom chambers of Carlos Rodriguez's mansion in exchange for some money. The Closer—an African-American guy—assumes the NPC is racist and doesn't buy into the sidequest. However, they then clarify it has nothing to do with his race but his status as a main character (one who does favors for random people in exchange for modest rewards while they pursue a more important quest). While he's relieved by the explanation, he's still a bit hesitant on the quest (and there's not much stopping the player from ignoring it entirely, aside from following the thread that quest starts all the way to rescuing Moose from the Gritty Reboot world).

In an episode of Camp Camp, Max (a brown-skinned Indian-American kid) gets refused service by a (white) bartender who doesn't serve "your kind". Max angrily demands to know what he means by "your kind"... to which the bartender answers "kids," whereupon Max instantly calms down and agrees that that's a completely understandable policy for a bar.

7th Heaven:
Reverend Camden overheard an argument between Matt's Jewish father-in-law and Ruthie's Muslim friend that sounded like they were attacking each other's religions. When he came into the hall to break it up, he realized they were arguing about their favorite baseball teams.
In another episode the Camdens are hosting a party with that same Muslim family, only to find nobody wants to attend. He eventually finds out that people assume the family is French because of their last name. (The episode was made around the time the Iraq War started. Subverted somewhat because people are still nervous about attending when the truth is found out.)

In Flight of the Conchords Bret and Jemaine are "racially" abused for being New Zealanders by a fruit-seller. Finally, they stand up to him with a stirring speech about the rights of all human beings, whereupon it all turns out to be a big misunderstanding—the man thought they were Australian! So then they all go and make offensive gestures outside the Australian Embassy together.

In the musical Waitress, the role of Becky is often played by a black actress despite the fact that her race isn't specified in the script. With this casting in mind, it adds a new layer to the scene where Ogie is first introduced. Becky goes to serve him, but Ogie says, "I don't want you as my waitress." This offends her, until he clarifies that he wants Dawn to serve him, because the two of them had gone on a date the previous evening.

Criminal Minds:
Hotch asks a black, female Army officer not to sit in on an interview with a witness because he noticed the witness is distrustful of her, so he thinks he'll have better luck alone. She asks, "My race or my gender?" and Hotch admits, "Probably both." At the end of the interview, it turns out that the witness didn't trust military personnel, whom he suspected of involvement in the crime in question.
The episode "Identity" had the FBI agents question white Right Wing Militia Fanatics, one of whom clearly regarded the African-American profiler Derek Morgan with contempt. This turned out to not be due to Morgan's race per se, but because the man saw Morgan as a Category Traitor for being willing to work for a government that he "should" hate even more than the militia does because of all of the injustices that it had committed against African-Americans.

Played with in the revival series, with Gert objects to Karolina and Julie's relationship... because she finds Julie bossy and annoying. She's alarmed by Molly's crush on her female classmate... because that classmate is obviously a supervillain. She's disgusted by Klara being adopted by a gay couple... because they're parents, which is evil. And she objects to Karolina and Nico dating... because they're playing at being superheroes. It's all totally just a bizarre coincidence that all these situations that she objects to just happen to involve homosexuality, and totally isn't a reflection of her feelings about gay people.

In Of Lilies and Chestnuts, when Fleur De Lis and Fancy Pants see a bat pony as their prime adoption choice, Fleur pulls Fancy aside and demands they pick somepony else. Although racism against bat ponies pervades the Canterlot Elite of which Fleur is a member, Fleur just guesses (and is proven right) that Chestnut just acts ostensibly lower-class and would sabotage the family's good standing. Eventually, Fleur warms up to Chestnut.

There's a related scene in The Golden Girls when Dorothy objects to her son's marrying a black woman, but only because she's twice his age, while the bride expects her mother to object to the age difference, but she really objects because Dorothy's son is white.
Blanche dared to attend her prom with Benjamin, despite the scorn of others. Dorothy assumes Benjamin was black. Nope. He was a Yankee from New Jersey.

In Ted Lasso, after finding out that team-mate and best friend Colin is gay, Isaac begins ignoring and avoiding him, causing Colin to worry that Isaac doesn't approve. Then an irate "fan" uses a homophobic slur to refer to the whole team, causing Isaac to flip out and attack him. At the end of the episode, Isaac explains to Colin why he's really upset: he thinks Colin should have trusted him enough to come out to him instead of lying to him for all that time.

Sorta in Teen Wolf. Sorta.

South Park:
In the Season 5 episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood" the town goes on a crusade against rich people, called "richers", all of whom happen to be black. It's subverted at the end when all the rich people have left and some Aesop was delivered, and Mr. Garrison says "Well, at least we got rid of all those damn ni-(cut off by end credits)".note The original plan was to have the next episode start off on a cold open with Garrison finishing, "—gers." Comedy Central nixed the idea. The episode had characters scaring off the rich people by setting fire to "Lower Case t's, for 'time to leave'". And that the rich people took these things (the burning lower case t's, etc) exactly the way they were meant. Later all the townsfolk dress up as "ghosts" to scare away all the rich people. The rich people are indeed extremely frightened to discover that the town is "haunted". Also, the rich people organize a "Rich Pride" march and, upon passing by Chef, they assume he is rich and asks if he would join them. When he says that he's not rich, they offer him a hundred dollars, which he readily accepts.
People who annoy you: N_GGERS. The answer is NAGGERS of course. What else could it be?
There's also the episode where the town is divided over whether to change its flag, which depicts a lynching. The kids defend the flag, but they don't realize that it has anything to do with race. They didn't see it as white men hanging a black man, but as dudes hanging another dude. This display of innocence moves the adults to tears and convinces them to compromise by keeping the flag the way it is but changing the lynchers to be multiracial, including having a black lyncher.

In the episode of How I Met Your Mother where Barney Stinson's gay, black half-brother James announces he's getting married, Barney is shocked and appalled. Not at gay marriage, but at his brother no longer being single. He and James basically functioned as one another's wingman so James' getting married means he won't be able to go along with Barney. However, Barney did become excited since James and his new husband showed serious interest in adoption and thus, allowing Barney to indulge in being an uncle.
In another episode, a slightly different version after Ted and Robin have a fight:
The girls then continue to discuss Ted and Robin's relationship while the boys talk about how emotional Field of Dreams makes them.

In ElfQuest, white elf chief Cutter is lifemate to black elf Leetah. The series' Big Bad, Winnowill, likes to call Leetah her "dark sister" and at one point starts a discussion with her about race. It turns out all elves consider skin color to be purely aesthetic—the discussion is actually about Cutter's animal heritagenote long story short, Cutter's clan descends from an elven band who survived because of one female elf shapeshifting into wolf form and helping them assimilate wolves into their society. Cutter, at least, is a direct descendant of the half-wolf child that she-elf bore by an unknown male wolf, which Winnowill considers vile.

In a Key & Peele sketch, a black man is having dinner with the parents of his white fiancée for the first time. He quickly realizes that the parents don't approve of their daughter dating someone who's different from them, so he stands up to leave, revealing a crocodilian tail as the apparent source of their discrimination. However, after he leaves, the mother chastises her daughter for bringing a "colored man" into their home, and it's shown that the entire family has tails as well.

In Freedom Writers, Erin enlists her father Steve's help picking up some of her students to take them on a weekend field trip. Erin and her father are white; most of Erin's students are racial minorities. When Andre, a black kid, gets into the passenger seat next to Steve, Steve fixes him with a disapproving glare.

Artemis Fowl: Holly finally snaps at Commander Root for being so by-the-book with her, and that if she wasn't a woman (she's the only female LEP officer aside from public-relations "bimbo" Corporal Frond) he wouldn't be so tough on her. Root agrees that it is because she's a woman... but for the wrong reason. On the contrary, he holds her to a higher standard because he knows she has the skills, and if she can be a model officer then it will show the higher-ups that women are equally capable and mean other women will one day join the force as well. He also notes that her capabilities are far beyond what he'd expected.

During Spider-Verse, Miles teams up with the Peter Parker from Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) to save the Spider-Man from the '60s animated series. When '60s Spidey expresses shock after seeing Miles' face, Ultimate Spidey assumes that it's because of Deliberate Values Dissonance, but it instead turns out that he was surprised to see that Miles was a teenager, not that he was black.

To Weather the Dark Collection: Edelgard initially assumes that Petra's grandfather is against Petra and Dorothea getting together because both are women. It turns out that he actually fears the decline of their heritage and the eventual takeover of Adrestian culture.

In the very first issue of Mystique's solo series, she impersonates a male scientist, and ends up kissing a female spy. When Mystique reveals the ruse, the spy is disgusted. Not because Mystique isn't a man, mind you, but because she's a mutant.

Morris Kazenstein, the genius inventor from Sewer, Gas & Electric, is stricken with a bad case of Jewish liberal guilt when dealing with his Palestinian foster siblings. They take constant merciless advantage of his feelings—even though they were raised in the UK—until, when he finally gets fed up and suggests they go fight to liberate Palestine, they launch into a tirade against Morris... for being an American.
