Where Fantastic Racism meets Urban Segregation. The Fantastic Ghetto is a place where an undesirable racial minority is rounded up inside to keep them out of the majority's line of sight. Ghettoes are very much a case of Truth in Television: the term "(bor)ghetto", Italian for, more or less, "little town", originally referred to the district in City-State Venice where the Jews were supposed to live. Ironically, it has been asserted that the original Jewish ghettos were privileges, designed to protect Jews from unfriendly Gentile citizens, provided by the local rulers, including walls and locked gates which were bitterly resented by the locals. Like all well-meaning attempts at segregation, the "special treatment" not only turned out to be not so special but increased division and tension between communities, especially since the ghettos were often poorly maintained and serviced, despite the frequent promises to the contrary. Additionally, their separation from the rest of the city often made doing business difficult for those who lived there, meaning that the community within the ghetto would become poorer over time. When American segregation was being litigated, testimony from the Middle Ages was actually used in court to prove that the claim of "separate but equal" was an impossibility. As a form of racial segregation, whether deliberate or emergent, ghettos still exist to this day, usually because of a practice often called "redlining" wherein economic and social factors are used to keep people from buying houses in a certain area. This can even include rerouting streets or subway lines to discourage traffic to a particular area. Therefore, the topic is usually approached with caution in fiction, usually from the Fantastic Racism angle. However, it can also be implied by the Unfortunate Implications of having different races live in different areas (say, all the elves living in a hidden woodland glade) with little or no mixing, though it is important to note that not all uses of the Hidden Elf Village trope imply racial segregation: many settings that use this trope also include at least the occasional intermarriage between the "elves" and humans after all. It rather depends on whom the "elves" are trying to hide from, and whether they have a good reason for it. When an oppressed group intentionally segregates away from the oppressors, it's an Outcast Refuge. Not to be confused with Sci Fi Ghetto, or the related term "Fantasy Ghetto", in which the genre gets this treatment by the literary establishment. |

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey: The Magical Ghetto is where The Empire of Azadi keeps the non-human citizens of Marcuria permanently locked in. Azadi claims it's for their own protection. It doesn't stop them from scouring non-humans' houses in search of illegal goods and blocking supplies of medicines and food to the ghetto. Anyone who uses magic is put in the ghetto, even if he or she is human. Roper Klacks, a human alchemist, is found there, despite the fact that alchemists don't have any natural magic abilities. | |

Wonder Woman (1987): The Sangtee Empire enslaves non-kreel women and forces them to live doing hard labor secluded from the populace. Non-kreel men are not allowed to live in the capitols and have to petition the government in order to have any children since the only legal way for them to do so is through cloning, (though this stands for kreel as well biologically female kreel are allowed to be citizens so long as they present as male in public). | |

Dragon Age: The Alienages are ghettos for the City Elves. The "protective" aspect is brought up in a codex entry in the first game, in that it's technically legal to live outside them but elves who do nearly always end up being driven back in by their violently bigoted neighbors. The casteless dwarves of Orzammar are only allowed to live in Dust Town, the ruins of the old city. In Awakening, Nathaniel (an elf) asks Sigrun (a casteless dwarf) if Dust Town is anything like the alienages, only to be taken aback when she compares the alienages positively to Dust Town. |

Skin Deep: The Avalons are basically Hidden Elf Villages where mythological creatures walk around openly. They range from remote villages like Wonderland, to single shops like the Southwest Missouri Avalon, to concealed neighborhoods like the Liverpool Avalon (which is housed in the empty shell of a huge warehouse.) Played With in that we are told that mythical creatures chose to go into hiding and took their communities with them, to escape the Fantastic Racism of medieval humanity. | |

Wild C.A.T.s (WildStorm): This shows up during Alan Moore's run when the team visits Khera, where it turns out the Kherubim-Daemonite war ended centuries ago everywhere except Earth. Khera is ruled by the wealthy and technologically advanced Kherubim while the planet's indigenous population, a race of Sizeshifters from which Maul descended, has been displaced into underground cities, and Daemonite civilians living on Khera are confined to a low-tech ghetto. Having one Daemonite ancestor is enough to get Voodoo, a Kherubim-human hybrid like her teammates, forced into the ghetto. | |

Tales of the Canterlot Deportation Agency: The "temporary human settlement camp" (aka New Cynosure) where the trans-dimensional humans are kept. The Princesses recognize that there are peaceful humans who either arrived by accident or found their deliberate method only worked in one direction. Those incursions were granted two square kilometers carved out of a wild zone, and there they live, work, and make any friends they can. They can even recreate technology as long as it works cleanly. But... it's isolated from pony territory, there are guards, the entire thing is covered by a shield, and outside the border, there's a monster-infested wilderness. However, one option for some of the violent incursions is an underground prison. (Ben doesn't ask about the rest). | |

The Night Unfurls: The reason why dark elves are rarely seen outside of the North. Even the act of bringing dark elves to the South would catch the guards' attention. It's a miracle that Grace, a dark elf, is able to get employed as a Fan Service With A Smile in Ansur (which is in the South). The Fortress City of Rad is a subtle one. On one hand, it is a populous city where one would not see the same race twice. On the other hand, it is dedicated to the fantasy races (aka. the non-human population) once considered being undesirable by the Kingdom of Eostia. |

Attack on Titan: The Eldians that were left outside the Walls were rounded up by the Marleyans and thrown into internment camps. They live in abject poverty, with absolutely no rights, and are only permitted to step outside the designated Internment Zones with special permission. In the century since their internment, Marley has used propaganda to frame this as them showing "mercy" on the "Children of the Devil", and convinced the residents that the Eldians that escaped behind the Walls are the ones to blame for their suffering. In reality, the camps exist to maintain a captive population that can be turned into Titans during times of war. Libero Internment Zone is the main camp seen in the series and was the home of both Grisha Yeager and the members of Marley's Warrior Unit. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: as shown in Heavensward, the Holy See of Ishgard is divided into two districts called the Pillars and Foundation. The Pillars is home to the highborn residents of Ishgard, including noble families and those working for the clergy, and is a pleasant neighborhood. Foundation, on the other hand, is downtrodden and scarred from the war with the dragons, housing the city-states industries and lowborn population, including a young woman named Hilda, a mixed elezen/hyur woman. One neighborhood in Foundation, called The Brume, is particularly dilapidated, lacking in amenities and basic necessities, and located in an area that often sees dragon attacks. By the end of the story, things start to improve as a new democratic government is founded to help bridge the gap between highborn and lowborn. | |

The Legend of Genji: The Sand Quarter is a slum in Jinsha where many sandbenders live after being forced off their ancestral homes by the Earth Federation. This is a result of the Earth Federation government providing the displaced sandbenders with subsidized housing in nearby cities as part of an ongoing effort to culturally assimilate them. All this really did was create urban slums where the sandbenders experienced poverty and disenfranchisement. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the city of Windhelm segregates Dark Elves into the Grey Quarter, since the government of the city isn't too big on non-Nords, and Dark Elves and Nords don't get along. And they still get better treatment than the Argonians, who are locked outside the city walls and forced to live on the docks as woefully underpaid manual laborers and killed on sight if they try to enter the city proper. | |

XCOM: Chimera Squad: Andromedrons live in sanctuaries because their biology is incompatible with normal Earth environment, unlike the other alien species freed from the Ethereals. Those sanctuaries are thus constructed with environmental condition required to keep Andromedrons alive without them needing to wear exosuits. However, the point about segregation problems are still played straight, with relations between Andromedron sanctuaries and post-war government being strained at best. Floaters and Archons are still alive in their own isolated community somewhere. It isn't stated what their physical condition is like and their actual location is left unsaid but we are told they live in a sort of psionic stasis or willing equivalent to The Matrix to avoid reality where they are suffering constantly thanks to their cybernetics. |

Warcraft: Between Warcraft II and III, the orcs are confined to internment camps scattered across Lordaeron after being defeated in the Second War. You can visit some of these camps in World of Warcraft — one is in ruins and occupied by bandits, another has been reclaimed as the Horde's main outpost in the Arathi Highlands. Then in the Cataclysm expansion, the newly-promoted Warchief Garrosh confines Orgrimmar's troll and goblin populations to a cramped stretch of canyon, a situation made even worse when the goblins decided to drill for oil in the only water source. | |

There's also a lot of oni found there too, but oddly enough the oni relocated later and voluntarily, after getting fed up with humans resorting to trickery to defeat them. True to the nature of Touhou, the Underground's denizens seem far more content amongst their fellow exiles than they were before... well, except the satori, who found that they were just as unwanted among the exiles as they had been on the surface, causing at least one of them to lock herself away and pushed her little sister into giving herself a Poke in the Third Eye. | |

SAPR: Atlas is divided into two cities. In the sky, there's an upper city built on a giant floating rock, which is mostly inhabited by humans and is extremely advanced and affluent. On the ground, there is a lower city (also called Low Town) that is inhabited mostly by poor faunus and is constructed in a ramshackle and thrown-together manner with little in the way of the technology the kingdom is famous for. | |

The Orphan's Tales has Shadukiam city, where magical beings are either locked in separated areas on the outskirts (genies, one-legged) or forced to wear distinctive clothes (Yi). The local Mad Oracle (who actually pretends to be mad to scare off wealthy idiots) chose to reside in the shadow of the shiny basilica, chained to a dirty wall, because it's where those in need appear. Citizens prefer to have them all where they can't dirty their beautiful city. | |

Skulduggery Pleasant: There are mage-only neighbourhoods that are designed to look like ghettos so that Muggles will leave them alone, in a deliberate exploitation of this trope. There's also a tower block that's controlled by vampires. The human residents give them blood in exchange for them keeping the area free from criminals. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has a variation of this trope, shown in the two-part episode "Past Tense": in the 21st century, America's unemployment and poverty rates rose so high that nearly every major city would set up "Sanctuary Districts", walled-off communities for the destitute. In theory, they would help those struggling with poverty find steady employment and housing. In practice, however, they were essentially massive debtors' prisons for everyone from the unemployed to the mentally ill, as the residents were legally forbidden from leaving "for their own safety", and job placement services had been practically abolished. | |

The X-Wing Series novel Wedge's Gamble shows that the Empire allows nonhumans only in certain parts of Imperial Center which are called ethnic neighborhoods. One is officially the "Alien Protection Zone (dubbed "the Invisible Sector" or "Invisec") walled off from the rest. Supposedly this is for their protection against prejudice (hence the name) and they have prominent statues of heroes from different species living there, although they're really massive ghettos, as you would expect. A rebel group named the Alien Combine arose in Invisec because of this. It turns out that General Evir Derricote is having residents of Invisec rounded up for use as test subjects in his secret development of the Krytos Virus. | |

Rebuild World: Each city of the One Nation Under Copyright government has slums outside of its main defenses, which is also part of their general policy of Urban Segregation. Besides how they use slum residents as Cannon Fodder to fend off attacks and to replenish the ranks of hunters due to it being the only real work available to them, and use them for Playing with Syringes, it takes a while for a reason to be attached to why the residents are kept there. It turns out to be because the government takes an extremely harsh view of debt, and due to the free Mystery Meat food, housing, and water that they get, slum residents are seen as each being in debt to the government until they bring in enough Lost Technology relics scavenged from ruins to pay the city back (which is represented by having a hunter rank of 10). | |

Destiny 2: When the House of Light, a friendly faction of the Eliksni, petitions the Last City for sanctuary, they're settled in the Botza District, an unpopulated section of the City that was razed in the Red War a few years ago. As with the original ghettoes, it's for their own protection: the City's leadership is sympathetic to the House of Light but is keeping them isolated because the City's populace mostly knows the Eliksni species as raiders and pirates who slaughter humans on sight. Members of the House of Light are even allowed to travel around the rest of the City if they wear visitor passes, but this opens them up to violence from angry citizens. Attitudes have cooled after the House of Light proved instrumental in resolving the current crisis, but the Eliksni Quarter remains their home. | |

One Piece: The world is mostly populated by humans, while other species live in specific home islands. Giants work occasionally for the World Government, and fishmen and merfolk are known to marry other species, but it's extremely rare to see races like longlegs or dwarves wandering among humans. Separation seems to emerge naturally due to Fantastic Racism; the World Government doesn't enforce segregation but doesn't try to prevent it either. Living separated from humans on the sea floor is especially problematic for merfolk and fishmen. They don't need sunlight and oxygen, but they still yearn for it. However, human cruelty makes them afraid of living above the surface. | |

Futurama: Mutants (except for Leela, who pretends to be an alien) are legally required to live in the sewers underground. This changes in "The Mutants are Revolting", where they rise up out of the sewers and demand the right to live in the sun. After the Native Martians sold their entire planet's surface to humans, they were required to live underground. This is resolved when they discover that the single bead their ancestors sold the planet for was in fact a colossal diamond worth a lot of money, at which point they promptly dump Mars and just buy a new planet and pretend it's sacred to them. New New York also has Little Bitaly and Little Neptune, ethnic areas for robots and Neptunian aliens respectively, although these are more along the lines of immigrant neighborhoods in the last century than anything. |

The Tokyo Concession in Area 11 (Japan) is the most notable example, being the setting for the majority of the series. | |

Oddly enough, the trope gets flipped around when you look at Gensokyo proper, where it's the humans who are confined to a single settlement, the imaginatively-named Human Village. There aren't any youkai soldiers or anything making sure the humans stay put there, it's just that there's an understanding that any humans encountered outside this village at night are fair game. Humans who live outside its borders tend to be people like Reimu Hakurei or Marisa Kirisame, who have repeatedly proven that they can handle themselves. |

Newly elected mayor Baxter Stockman quickly ordered the affected zones to be quarantined and all the mutated humans confined therein, supposedly until a cure for their conditions could be administrated. He also ordered building a 50 ft wall around the zone to prevent the mutants from escaping. Eventually, the area became known as Mutant Town, a hellhole full of dilapidated neighborhoods, abject poverty, homelessness, hunger, and cold. | |

Shadowrun: Orks and trolls often get this treatment, and more rarely other metahumans such as elves and dwarves. Notable examples include Orkland in the Bay Area; Yomi Island in Japan, serving as an internment camp for all Japanese metahumans before the internment laws were lifted by Emperor Yasuhito and the camp was left to the Wendigo and other HMHVV infectees; and the Seattle Underground, settled by orks and trolls following anti-metahuman pogroms. When a rogue Japanese general took over the California Free State, he also enforced metahuman segregation and forcibly relocated the metahuman citizens of San Francisco and Sacramento to hastily-made ghettoes outside of the cities proper. | |

Today, however, it's their own leader, rather than the Inklings, who keeps them underground with military propaganda in hopes of invading and getting revenge for that loss. Any Octolings that manage to get to any cities on the surface, however, will find that most Inklings in the present day will happily accept them into their communities... partially out of sheer ignorance over the fact that they're speaking to an Octoling rather than an exotic-looking Inkling. | |

Wild Cards: Jokertown, the only place where Jokers (the nine percent of the people who contract the Wild Card Virus who don't die or become normal-looking superhumans) don't have to be self-conscious about their disfiguring mutations. Masks are still popular fashion statements there, though. Other countries have other arrangements. There's a Joker Quarter in Jerusalem and Ireland banished all their Jokers to Rathlin Island (a visiting American compares it to a Native American reservation). | |

South Park: "Goobacks" has the eponymous goobacks (people from the future who go to the past to work for decreased wages to send money to their families via Compound-Interest Time Travel Gambit, so named because the time travel process leaves them Covered in Gunge) settle in their own part of town, quickly nicknamed "Little Future." | |

Dred Chronicles: The lawless Prison Ship setting is divided into various gang territories. Most prisoners aboard Perdition are human, but those who are aliens keep to themselves in their own isolated section of the ship, both avoiding other prisoners and being avoided themselves. | |

Perdido Street Station: Several exist in New Crobuzon for pretty much any non-human sapient species, with an even worse on for the Remade — people who have run afoul of New Crobuzon's vicious and unfair law system and were reshaped into deformed slaves. | |

Be the Sea Dweller Lowblood: In the troll (half)-City Planet on Surrogia, where you're allowed to live in is dictated by your blood color. This means that, while the goldbloods and jadeblods have very good living conditions, the blue- and violetbloods get the slums, while seadwellers live in abject poverty in the slums' slums. | |

The Tower and the Fox: London's Calatian population is confined to a dreary island in the middle of the Thames referred to as "the Isle of Dogs". They're allowed to spread out more in the American colonies, but still tend to be pushed together. | |

In The Witcher, some cities force elves and dwarves to live in ghettos, where they are second-class citizens. Despite the discrimination, the situation for them is much worse in other kingdoms, where hunting and killing elves is practically legal. | |

Strontium Dog: Mutant populations in New Britain are not allowed to hold any jobs (apart from bounty hunting) or live amongst normal humans, instead living in their own trashed ghettos, the most prominent one located in Milton Keynes. | |
