A character says or accidentally does something that is interpreted by everyone else as being racist or some other breed of bigotry, and they proceed to chew him out or start shunning him for it. If it is not the main plot for the story, it can be quickly cleared up, but otherwise, any attempt to prove that he's not really racist ends up backfiring and making him look even more racist. When the accused is finally confronted on his behavior, expect him to say something to the effect of, "I don't hate you because you're [minority status], I hate you because you're [completely valid reason to dislike someone]."
If the people who believe this person prejudiced are themselves prejudiced, they'll be proud of him, leading to Your Approval Fills Me with Shame. The character may also try (unconvincingly) to deny it by saying "Some of My Best Friends Are X."
Compare Discriminate and Switch, Stereotype Reaction Gag, Calling Me a Logarithm. Sister Trope to Everything Is Racist. May overlap with One Dialogue, Two Conversations, Sustained Misunderstanding, Poor Communication Kills, Open Mouth, Insert Foot, That Came Out Wrong, and other miscommunication tropes. See also Innocent Bigot. Can go with Godwin's Law of Facial Hair, where the toothbrush mustache is associated with Hitler.

Rhett & Link knew that their Red House Furniture Commercial would create controversy, but it has no touches of racism in it. In fact, it is the exact opposite. It may only include blacks and whites, but they made it very clear that persons of all races are welcome at The Red House.

An episode of Stripperella: A female supervillain called "The Bridesmaid", driven mad by winding up "always a bridesmaid, never a bride," kidnaps several bridegrooms and announces her intention to murder them all. She points her gun at one of the grooms and tells him that he will die first — and because this particular groom happens to be African-American, he accuses her of racism for it. The Bridesmaid concedes the point and opts to start with one of the other grooms — but they all catch on and reveal to her their status as members of "oppressed" groups so that the Bridesmaid will not be able to kill any of them either (including one groom who conveniently "remembers" that he has a "Native American grandparent").

Invoked and exploited in the "Magic and Misfits" campaign of Dimension 20, when a younger student at a British school runs off to snitch on Jammer, an exchange student who happens to be black, for breaking a rule. Jammer stops him by reminding the kid that he's American, prompting him to panic, assuming that he has a gun.

In Beauty Shop, Gina quits her job at the beginning of the movie mostly because she misunderstands the way her foreign boss pronounces the word "Moniker". (He's not actually racist and didn't intentionally say the N-word like she originally thought, but he is still an egotistical, overly competitive douche.)

The Simpsons:
White-on-white example: In "Lisa's Wedding", Homer and Bart horrify Lisa's British fiancé by accidentally setting the Union Jack on fire.
Another white-on-white example in "Today I Am a Clown", after Krusty the Clown learns that he never had his bar mitzvah (actually a subversion, in that the victim really does have negative attitudes):
In "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", Krusty hosts a show called "Krusty's Komedy Klassics", which has the show's initials in large white letters in the background, at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Cue Produce Pelting from the offended crowd.
From "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo", while the family is on the plane to Japan:

There have been a handful of non-English Apex Legends players that have ran afoul of the game's TOS regarding hate speech and harassment, where something they type out in text chat in their own native language leads to a 7-day suspension for hate speech due to whatever they typed out being mistaken for the N-word.
Two Japanese players◊ were hit with suspensions for hate speech. In both cases, someone on the player's team mistook their romaji rendering of "逃ã�’ã‚�" (nigero), which translates to "RUN!!", as the N-word.
An Indonesian player also got slapped with a suspension for typing out "No" in their native language. "No" in Indonesian is "Ngga".

Muhammad Hassan would very often accuse the fans and the other wrestlers of being against him solely for being Middle Eastern. Despite John Cena claiming that "We don't hate you because you're Arab-American, we hate you because you're Asshole-American!", he was not exactly far off the mark with his claims. note The wrestler himself was Italian-American.

Ends up being the punchline of one Smiling Friends episode; while everyone's getting ready for the office Halloween party Charlie states that he doesn't wear costumes for fear of ending up in this trope. The episode then revolves around Pim being terrorized by a forest demon with tree bark for skin, who chases him all the way back to the office. When the two end up in the middle of the party, the demon is accused of wearing blackface in spite of him Suddenly Speaking to explain this is his actual skin color, and is beaten to death and eviscerated by the partygoers. Charlie then calmly points out this is exactly why he doesn't dress up.

One memetic Tumblr post has a user describe a hypothetical Zen Pencils comic he saw in a dream which featured a group of people in a waiting room. A receptionist calls in asking for a "Mr. Racist", and when one of them raises his hand, everyone else starts beating him up. The final panel is a close up of his files, revealing his full name as "Stopbeing Racist".

Ever since the events of Avengers vs. X-Men and Death of X, The Avengers' relationship with the X-Men has been pretty heated, especially with Cyclops. This has caused Marvel's Mutants and their Fanbase to develop a, quite frankly justified, Alternative Character Interpretation of the opposing team's views on Mutant rights. Captain America especially. From defending the Inhumans who were gassing mutants to death, to policing a hate rally of mutants in an Issue of Uncanny X-Men (2019). Captain America claims that he believes in the sanctity of the individual, to make up your own opinions and thoughts, even if they are those of a bigot. His mind hasn't changed even after Magneto used his mind altering helmet to erase any Anti-Mutant thoughts, revealing that there weren't any in the first place. Nevertheless, in an issue of Uncanny X-Men (2013), Cyclops delivers a well deserved "Reason You Suck" Speech to Captain America and the Avengers for their inaction towards hate crimes commited against Mutants, stating they're just as bad as the people oppressing them.

In Avenue Q, Kate Monster getting offended when Princeton asks if she and Trekkie Monster are related is the lead-in to the song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist". Kate herself and two other characters say things that would qualify for this trope if they didn't all end up agreeing that they are racist.

Richard Herring's As It Occurs to Me podcast. Richard describes how twenty years ago he was playing a skinhead in a play and was turned away from a Pizza Hut because they assumed he was racist. He then told of how he was recently given bad service in a branch of Pizza Express because he has a Hitler mustache (which he had because for his stand-up show Hitler Moustache). He said there should be a campaign against people who aren't racist being discriminated because people think they're racist (although he admits that he is probably the only person with that problem). Funny, considering that a major percentage of skinheads are decidedly anti-racist, and hold special loathing towards those who mixed the neo-Nazi and skinhead subcultures together.

In How to Rob a Bank, while Jason is talking to negotiator Officer DeGepse, he mentions not liking being surrounded by 'armed assholes' then realises that DeGepse might think he means the police and adds "I don't mean you people". This is followed by a long silence from DeGepse, who is black. Sensing something is wrong, Jason says "You're not black or something, are you?". Fortunately for Jason, Jessica takes the phone from him and explains the situation to DeGepse.

Harry Potter:
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when the Hufflepuffs are afraid of Harry because they think he's the Heir of Slytherin, Ernie mentions that he's heard Harry hates his Muggle relatives. However, he does not seem to be aware that Harry hates the Dursleys because they're abusive, not because they're Muggles.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, while the Weasleys are picking up Harry from the Dursleys, Fred and George decide to have some fun (and get revenge on Dudley for bullying Harry) by "accidentally" dropping a toffee in the living room to tempt Dudley into eating it, knowing he's on a diet. Said toffee is actually an invention of theirs that causes people's tongues to turn purple and grow as large as four feet long when they eat one. Arthur chastises them for using magic to mistreat a Muggle for their own amusement. Fred and George indignantly tell him they didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle, they gave it to him because he's "a great bullying git".
Dumbledore’s long-dead father is believed to have been a Muggle-hater due to attacking three Muggle boys. Harry finds out the truth is much more complicated than that note  The boys “attackedâ€� (in a way that’s never truly explained) his daughter and he did it because of that, not because they were Muggles and comes to realize it’s silly to even think that because he was married to and had three kids with a Muggleborn witch.
Viktor Krum mistakes Xenophillius Lovegood for a neo-Grindelwald sympathizer for wearing the Deathly Hallows symbol, which is a fantasy take on a Non-Nazi Swastika. For context, the Deathly Hallows are three legendary magical objects, and the symbol originally meant that the wearer was interested in finding said objects. Grindelwald was one such wizard (and was known to have carved the symbol into the walls of Durmstrang), but Lovegood became interested in the search entirely independently.

In the Riordanverse, demigods are often called "half-bloods". This causes issues sometimes.
In the first The Heroes of Olympus book Annabeth uses this term upon meeting Piper, who is taken aback, as her father is Cherokee and she's always assumed that her Missing Mom was white. It's then clarified that Annabeth is actually talking about her mother being a goddess.
The same thing happens in "The Son of Sobek," the first Demigods & Magicians crossover story. Percy assumes that Carter is a "half-blood" like him, not realizing that a.) magicians powered by Egyptian gods also exist in this setting, and b.) Carter is, in fact, biracial and might take that term badly.

Deadpool is shocked when Negasonic Teenage Warhead shows up with a girlfriend. Negasonic calls him an outdated homophobe, but Deadpool clarifies that he's surprised Negasonic got anyone to date her. She can't really argue with that.
Deadpool keeps referring to Cable as a racist after the latter kills minor villain Black Tom Cassidy, who is a white man. After meeting Black Tom, Deadpool forgot everything about him, "except that he was African-American".

King of the Hill:
In "Racist Dawg", Hank is thought to be subconsciously Afrophobic after his dog attacks a black repairman. Him trying an online "are you racist" test and failing (due to being Hopeless with Tech), or Ladybird snatching and destroying a doll of a black man (she sensed Hank was unconfortable playing with dolls, and Bobby was holding the white doll), don't help his reputation. However, in the end, it's revealed the dog attack stemmed from his innate dislike of repairmen, irrespective of ethnicity, when Ladybird attacks a white repairman.
In an early episode, Hank doesn't want to go to his new Laotian neighbor Kahn's barbecue because Kahn had been nothing but rude and insulting to Hank (calling him a "stupid redneck" and so on). Peggy demands that Hank go, otherwise they'll look like racists. Hank is frustrated, "I don't care about his race, he's a jerk. What kind of country is this where you can only hate a man if he's white?"

At one point, in Metalocalypse the crew of Dethklok was accused of being racist, and so decided to hold a community outreach concert to prove otherwise. Unfortunately, due to Toki's revenge meddling, they joined his special "Special Persons Invites Club"note "spic" is a slur against Hispanic people, and showed up wearing his special club outfits (white robes and hoods), in front of a model of the club logo (a white letter T, for Toki).

At one point in Spider-Verse, Miles Morales and the Spider-Man from the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show team up with the Spider-Man from the '60s animated series. When Miles unmasks, the '60s Spider-Man is visibly shocked, causing the animated Ultimate Spidey to think he's a racist. Instead, it turns out that '60s Spidey is proud to learn that the Spider-Man legacy has lived on, and was actually expressing shock at the fact that the new Spider-Man is so young.
A similar joke occurs in Divided We Fall. Stature captures Miles after being brainwashed by the Mind Gem, and states that the new Spider-Man isn't what she was expecting. Miles calls her a racist in his internal narration but then realizes she was likely referring to the fact that he's only 13-years old.
Ultimate FF: Van Damme gets into the interrogation cell, grabs Miles Horhames (an Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation of Miles Morales as a pig) and says "tell the truth or die, swine". Miles thought that was racist.

Green Lantern:
In volume 2, issue 76 ("No Evil Shall Escape My Sight"), Hal Jordan enters a neighborhood full of African-American families to deal with a mugging, and is quickly accused of racism by everyone. An elderly black man points out that Hal patrols the galaxy helping and protecting aliens, but hardly ever helps the black people. Hal is very shaken up by this, apparently forgetting that when he saves the world as part of the Corps or the Justice League, he saves it for, you know, every single race and ethnicity, not just light-skinned people. Then again, a recurring Inuit member of his support characters was "lovingly" referred to as Pieface (which all modern incarnations establish said character only being called that by actual racists).
When John Stewart was first chosen as a backup for Hal Jordan, Hal Jordan had misgivings on Stewart for being temperamental. The Guardian accompanying Jordan assumes he's taking issue with Stewart being a black man and calls him out on his seeming prejudice.

In The Last Days of FOXHOUND, Vulcan Raven assumed that the designation of the codename 'The Chinaman' to one of the members of Dead Cell was the result of prejudice. It turns out that Chinaman had chosen this name for himself, a fact that Colonel Jackson had evidently needed to explain many times before.

In "Wolfenstein," an episode of Hardly Working, Owen excitedly shows Pat and Murph what he believes to be his grandfather's collection of Wolfenstein 3-D merchandise. Unfortunately, the "merchandise" is actually horrific Nazi propaganda, including a picture of Owen's grandfather with Adolf Hitler, incriminating documents that discuss a "final solution," and an autographed copy of Mein Kampf (which Owen thinks is "German for Wolfenstein."). Owen cheerfully posts pictures of the items online, which inadvertently brings a huge group of Neo-Nazis to the office.

During Ben Reilly's tenure as Spider-Man during The Clone Saga, he was acting on information from his boss about her ex-husband when he decided to keep tabs on her son for her after she said she was concerned for her son's well-being around him and that he wasn't reliable, thus was hostile towards the man. The man in question was an African-American undercover cop who thought Ben was a racist because he wasn't aware that Ben worked for his ex-wife and Ben was acting on what she said.

An issue has Iron Man getting extremely upset by the idea that the team needs to induct a minority member in order to diversify its line-up. His opposition becomes extreme enough that Duanne and Triathlon (who are both black) begin to insinuate that Tony is in fact, a racist. He tries to deny this, stating that he believes that the Avengers should only be the "best of the best" regardless of race, but he ultimately stops arguing after noting that he is indeed beginning to sound like a bigot.

Archer: In season 6, Ray loses his right hand. Krieger eventually builds him a new one... That has black skin. Throughout the season, Ray continuously voices his discontent with it. The others, particularly Lana (who is black) assume he's being racist, but he's actually upset about it being robotic. Eventually, Ray realizes what he sounded like and, horrified, rushes off to apologize to Lana... And manages to cripple himself even further.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: One factor in the Poor Communication Kills between Dys and Tang is that twins started drifting apart right around the time Tang got gene therapy to get a body of the right sex, and everyone assumed that Dys had a problem with it. In reality, as Dys himself puts it, he knew Tang was a girl "five minutes after she knew" and considered her his sister long before anyone else did. What really happened is that Tang's already prolific intelligence latched onto the science behind her transition and gave her a newfound motivation to excel academically, with the nasty side effect of turning her into an Insufferable Genius. This interacted badly with their family's history of chronic depression, worsening a bad patch Dys was having independently. By the game's beginning, Tang is genuinely worried about Dys but expresses it in a way that is easy to read as her only pretending to worry because she's expected to do so as his sister, while a Book Dumb Dys is living on the fringes of the colony's society with a severe case of Successful Sibling Syndrome.

The Brickleberry episode "Write 'Em Cowboy" has Steve become popular with the gay community due to his country songs containing unintentional innuendos alluding to gay sex. Steve isn't too pleased to find out exactly why his music is popular, but has a change of heart when a gay kid named Billy Black informs him that his music prevented him from committing suicide. Steve then sings a song dedicated to Billy Black, but his poor choice of lyrics gets him in trouble for sounding unintentionally racist.

Bakugo in Paragons of Virtue and Glory. He's a deeply unpleasant person who calls everyone around him "extras" and who hardly ever has something positive to say. However, it's his habit of using derogatory nicknames based on physical features that gets him in big trouble, as Faunus consider that racist.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: In the episode "Surviving the Spiderbites", Star invites the Spiderbite royal family to Mewni in the hopes that they will make an alliance with Eclipsa, treating them to refreshments, some abstract art and an elaborate monster dance, all of which they hate. Star assumes that they, like most other Mewmans, hate monsters and that is the reason for their disapproval. She's immediately proven wrong when Princess Penelope's monster boyfriend shows up and is welcomed warmly by her parents. As it turns out their problem wasn't with monsters; all of the stuff Star had shown them was associated with Globgor, who, among various other atrocities, apparently ate Shastacan, Queen Spiderbite's great-uncle several times removed. Star apparently didn't do any research beforehand.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, while the Weasleys are picking up Harry from the Dursleys, Fred and George decide to have some fun (and get revenge on Dudley for bullying Harry) by "accidentally" dropping a toffee in the living room to tempt Dudley into eating it, knowing he's on a diet. Said toffee is actually an invention of theirs that causes people's tongues to turn purple and grow as large as four feet long when they eat one. Arthur chastises them for using magic to mistreat a Muggle for their own amusement. Fred and George indignantly tell him they didn't give it to him because he's a Muggle, they gave it to him because he's "a great bullying git".

In the 2005 The Dukes of Hazzard film, Bo and Luke are shown stuck in traffic. As several other drivers pass them they make comments. The first is a stereotypical redneck who shouts out "Southern by the Grace of God!" leaving them a little confused. Then a black couple drives by them and asks them if they're late for their Klan meeting, leaving them even more confused. Another redneck drives by complimenting them again. Then another black woman drives by and says "Nice roof." Bo and Luke then check their roof of the General Lee and discover the Confederate flag that it was so well known for on the TV series.

The first Rush Hour movie combines this with N-Word Privileges when Carter (who's black) and Lee (who's Asian) go to a pool hall. Carter, who's known by the patrons, greets them by saying "What's up, ma nigga?" While Carter goes into a back room to interrogate a source, Lee tries to start a friendly chat with the bartender using the same line (to be fair, though, Carter had previously instructed him to "follow my lead, and do what I do"). Since this is a Jackie Chan movie, Fighting Ensues.

The thing is, Doom Slayer doesn't care who or what you are; if you are evil, he will kill you, and every White Fang member he killed was a murderer. "Beastkin" is simply what Faunus are called in his homeland.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when the Hufflepuffs are afraid of Harry because they think he's the Heir of Slytherin, Ernie mentions that he's heard Harry hates his Muggle relatives. However, he does not seem to be aware that Harry hates the Dursleys because they're abusive, not because they're Muggles.

Pony POV Series: Shining Armor is not a fan of Leeroy Jenkins tactics, and cites some Zebra warlords who tried them and lost to illustrate his point. The Pegasus Interviewer smacks him and calls him a racist until he says he was talking about those specific warlords, not Zebras in general.

Guess Who, a race-inverted remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, is built on this trope. The patriarch (Bernie Mac) mistakes his daughter's fiance for racist for most of the film. Near the end, the fiance tries to call him out on it, only to accidentally use the words "you people" to the predictable effect. The father eventually realizes that the reason his daughter's fiance is unemployed is that he quit his high-paying job after his racist boss told him to break off the engagement. He commends the guy for sticking up for her and then calls him an idiot for quitting his job over an insult.

Archie Comics has this in a comic where Veronica throws a party. She tells Archie that she doesn't want certain friends of his there. Since he's hanging out with Chuck and Jughead at the time, he thinks she means Chuck (who's black) and becomes angry. Turns out she means Jughead, who tends to be a slob and rather greedy with the food.

The Venture Bros.:
The Alchemist, remarking upon Jefferson Twilights' outfit, says "black is slimming". Cue a stony-faced expression from the African-American Jefferson.
A later episode had Dermott helping Dean seduce Triana. He tells Dean to put on a ghost costume (actually a KKK outfit) because goths love ghosts, and write "TRIANA" on her lawn with wooden boards. When the T is accidentally set aflame, her stepfather comes out with a shotgun, accusing him of being a racist bastard. The stepfather himself is Ambiguously Brown.

Occurs in Cabin Fever. At one point the characters ask a store owner why he has a high-powered rifle behind the counter, and he explains it's "for the Niggers", much to the shock and worry of the characters. At the end of the movie we see a black group pull up to the store, and the owner goes into the back hurriedly... only to hand them the gun that they'd apparently ordered, at which point the audience realizes that the owner actually meant "Niggas" and simply doesn't know the difference between using "er" and "a". That said, blacks and anti-racists would still be offended.

Escape from the Moon: In the sequel The Mare From the Moon, when Spliced starts explaining about her world's Pures (Alicorns) and Thirds (the other three tribes, who have only a third of what a Pure has), she realizes that this might sound like racism, and starts explaining that to her, the differences between the tribes are purely biological, with Thirds variously lacking any or all of the following: a carbuncle (the organ that generates their thaumatics) and the particular keratin (a fibrous structural protein) that makes up a horn, or the bones that form wings.

An incredibly awkward version pops up in True Crime when Clint Eastwood's character goes to see the mother of a black possible witness. She assumes he's racist, and while he's sputtering, trying to explain himself, she correctly figures out that the other two witnesses and the victim were all white. Eastwood's character tells her she's "making it into a race thing" and tells her the condemned man he's trying to save is also black. She tells him the man he came to see has been dead for three years and asks him where he was when he got stabbed.

Randy Marsh used the n-word on television in "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson", thinking it was the answer to a Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle. It didn't help that the topic was "People Who Annoy You," and currently the parts he had solved spelled out N_GGERS. Even the black audience members came to the same conclusion. To anyone wondering, the right answer was Naggers. Stan later defends him saying his father isn't racist, just stupid.

In episode 20 of If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, "Kitten" suggests that people are afraid of the Salamanders because of their black skin, prompting the Emperor to accuse him of being racist and angrily strip his armor off telekinetically. Then it turns out that Kitten is himself black by 2nd millennium standards, but by the 41st millennium's his skin just has a perfectly normal human tone, unlike the Salamanders, who have literal pitch-black skin that looks like they were dipped in tar.

During Ben Reilly's tenure as Spider-Man during The Clone Saga, he was acting on information from his boss about her ex-husband when he decided to keep tabs on her son for her after she said she was concerned for her son's well-being around him and that he wasn't reliable, thus was hostile towards the man. The man in question was an African-American undercover cop who thought Ben was a racist because he wasn't aware that Ben worked for his ex-wife and Ben was acting on what she said.

Adam rolls his eyes and thinks that Weiss probably thinks every Faunus is a terrorist. He completely ignores the fact that he is a terrorist, he's wearing the mask of a terrorist organization, and the organization in question is currently attacking Beacon.

Robot Chicken:
A sketch has Batman and Robin playing checkers, with the latter stating his distaste for playing the black side. Unfortunately, the Falcon walks by just as Robin yells out "I hate black!", leading to some awkwardness, to put it mildly.
Another sketch has a little boy getting amazed when a black stallion starts talking to him. The stallion, talking in an African-American accent, angrily accuses the boy of assuming he was dumb just because he was black. The boy tries to explain that a horse doesn't normally talk, but this just makes him angrier. This goes on with increasing intensity as everything the boy does, like mistaking another horse for the black stallion or offering to fry up a chicken he caught do nothing but enrage the black stallion who assumes literally everything the boy is doing is racially motivated. While constantly making racially motivated comments about the child's race.
When Speed Racer joins NASCAR, he's awoken in the middle of the night to find the other drivers have set up a burning cross in his yard. He bemoans that racism is still so prevalent, only for the drivers to sincerely assure him that this is a sign of welcome, not a threat (why they chose such an inflammatory symbol isn't relevant to the joke). A black driver then questions why he never received a "welcome cross."

In the episode "Romeo Must Wed" from The Proud Family, Penny developed a crush on Kwok while rehearsing for their school's production of Romeo and Juliet. After a while, Kwok's parents, the Wongs, politely asked Penny's parents, Oscar and Trudy, that they not allow Penny and Kwok to see each other anymore. While Trudy remained civil in her inquiry, Oscar immediately jumped to conclusions, thinking that the Wongs didn't approve of their son having a relationship with Penny because she wasn't "good enough" for them. This prompted both Oscar and Mr. Wong to imply the other was a racist. It turned out the real reason was that Kwok had an arranged bride, who was coming to town for a visit.

The Epic Rap Battles of History battle between Shaka Zulu and Julius Caesar had Caesar's final line of "But there's no use in murdering you and your heathen/You can grow my wheat for me after you're beaten", implying enslavement. Many viewers left comments finding that line racist given Shaka is black; it was more the fact that the Roman Empire enslaved everyone they conquered regardless of skin color.

The Lex Luthor of that Earth is still a light-skinned man, and upon being arrested, is shown arguing that he is not a racist and hates Superman because he's an alien, not because he's black.

There was a story arc in West Coast Avengers involving nearly half the team quitting and forming their own short-lived splinter group over the issue of using lethal force in crimefighting. At one point, this team, composed of Mockingbird, Moon Knight and Tigra encounter Dr. Bill Foster, also known as the superhero Black Goliath, and later Giant-Man. At the end of their adventure together, Foster leaves, and the mentally disturbed Moon Knight quips "Good riddance! That man is not our kind!", prompting Tigra to rebuke his apparent bigotry. Moon Knight denies this, explaining that he was referring to the fact that Foster is not a killer like the rest of them.

As Aquaman is white and his Arch-Enemy Black Manta is black, Arthur has on occasion come off looking like a racist, which is only emphasized by the fact that Aquaman has superpowers and Manta does not. Most notably, Manta once goaded Aquaman into attacking him in public when Manta didn't have his Power Armor on, making it look like Aquaman had decided to just beat up a random black guy in broad daylight for no reason.

In XCOM: From the Ashes of Temples: Poor Carlock gets mistaken for both a racist and a sexist when he tries to explain why sending women or non-Caucasians for covert ops to infiltrate EXALT is a really bad idea. The perfectly valid reason is that EXALT only have white men in their ranks, but his choice of words could have been better.

In Die Hard with a Vengeance, the Big Bad of the film, portrayed by Jeremy Irons, blackmails John McClane into standing on a street corner in the middle of Harlem wearing a sandwich board that reads "I Hate Niggers". He very nearly gets killed by a gang of local street thugs but is saved by Zeus. Note that when they were filming the scene, Bruce Willis wore a blank sign, because they were genuinely worried that he'd get killed. They photoshopped "I Hate Niggers" onto it for the theatrical release, and "I Hate Everybody" was added in post for the TV edit. Of course, this means the black people in the neighborhood appear to attack McClane for no real reason leading to some Unfortunate Implications.

The Avengers:
Ever since the events of Avengers vs. X-Men and Death of X, The Avengers' relationship with the X-Men has been pretty heated, especially with Cyclops. This has caused Marvel's Mutants and their Fanbase to develop a, quite frankly justified, Alternative Character Interpretation of the opposing team's views on Mutant rights. Captain America especially. From defending the Inhumans who were gassing mutants to death, to policing a hate rally of mutants in an Issue of Uncanny X-Men (2019). Captain America claims that he believes in the sanctity of the individual, to make up your own opinions and thoughts, even if they are those of a bigot. His mind hasn't changed even after Magneto used his mind altering helmet to erase any Anti-Mutant thoughts, revealing that there weren't any in the first place. Nevertheless, in an issue of Uncanny X-Men (2013), Cyclops delivers a well deserved "Reason You Suck" Speech to Captain America and the Avengers for their inaction towards hate crimes commited against Mutants, stating they're just as bad as the people oppressing them.
An issue has Iron Man getting extremely upset by the idea that the team needs to induct a minority member in order to diversify its line-up. His opposition becomes extreme enough that Duanne and Triathlon (who are both black) begin to insinuate that Tony is in fact, a racist. He tries to deny this, stating that he believes that the Avengers should only be the "best of the best" regardless of race, but he ultimately stops arguing after noting that he is indeed beginning to sound like a bigot.
While never saying that Tony is a racist, the narrative itself does go out of its way to try and justify the idea of diversifying the team. The Wasp for instance is shocked and upset when she realizes that there have only been a handful of non-white Avengers in the team's history, and an earlier issue by the same author has an African-American man noting that he wished the Avengers had some diversity so that his son could see that people like him could be heroes too.
Strange enough this issue has been in Avengers many times before. During the '80s the government and the people in the streets wanted the Avengers to be more diverse. The Avengers asked Black Panther to join them, but he turned them down since he didn't want to be the "Black Guy in the Team".

Godzilla: The novel Godzilla Vs. the Robot Monsters features Jack Strongbow, a Blackfoot brave with a strong dislike of Joel Mitchell, a white man working for the U.S. Department of the Interior. In one scene, his girlfriend, Theresa Rainbird, accuses him of hating Joel just for being white, completely ignoring the fact that Jack's best friend and almost brother Wayne is white, as are some other people he's friends with. For his part, Jack privately thinks that he has a whole host of reasons for disliking Joel, none of them related to race, but doesn't bother to voice any of them to Theresa because he knows that, in the mood she's in then, she won't listen.

In National Security, which gets a good half-hour out of the joke, Earl (Black) played by Martin Lawrence tries to get into his car when he finds that he has locked his keys inside. The police officer Hank (White) played by Steve Zahn confronts Earl and mistakes him for a car thief trying to break into the car. However, immediately after Earl is cuffed a bumblebee arrives and, as Earl is allergic to bumblebees, Hank attempts to swat the bee away to protect Earl from a potentially lethal reaction. Unfortunately, all that the bystanders see is a white cop savagely swinging a nightstick near a hand-cuffed black man, and to top it off the bee does manage to sting Earl. Afterward, with a jittery recording of the encounter on the news and Earl seemingly bruised from the beating (But really just swollen from the bee sting) Hank was convicted with aggravated assault by an all-black jury (and a single timid white guy) and sentenced to six months in prison. To be sure, the DA is initially reluctant to pursue the case, but Hank's Lieutenant insists that letting Hank off would result in a race riot.

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Nick Fury is stopped by some cops, and thinks that they're going to harass him for being black. It turns out they're actually a HYDRA death squad that wants to assassinate him.

South Park:
Randy Marsh used the n-word on television in "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson", thinking it was the answer to a Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle. It didn't help that the topic was "People Who Annoy You," and currently the parts he had solved spelled out N_GGERS. Even the black audience members came to the same conclusion. To anyone wondering, the right answer was Naggers. Stan later defends him saying his father isn't racist, just stupid.
This trope was played with (somehow) in "There Goes the Neighborhood", where the townsfolk get upset at the town being filled with... rich people (all of whom happen to be black). They try several things that could be seen as racist (burning "lowercase Ts" for "Time to leave", dressing like "ghosts" that more than resemble KKK members), but the "richers" all see these as exactly what they were intended to be. At the end of the episode, after the rich people have left, Mr. Garrison suggests sell all of the rich people's houses and become rich themselves. When Jimbo and Randy point out that means there would still be rich people in town and they would become what they hate, Mr. Garrison remarks "Well, at least we got rid of those damn ni-" *episode ends*
At the end of "Summer Sucks", an attempt to make the world's biggest ash-snake covers everyone with soot. Chef drives up and, assuming they're in blackface, tells them all to line up for an ass-kicking.
In "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000", Cartman is sent to prison for committing a hate crime when he threw a rock at Token for completely unrelated, but still stupid, reasons.
And there's "Chef Goes Nanners" where Chef lobbies to have the town's flag changed, as it depicts four white men hanging a black man. To Chef's indignation, Stan and Kyle claim to not see what the big deal is. He's completely convinced that they're racists... until he realizes that they were so entirely not racist that they didn't think of the men on the flag as four white men hanging a black man, but merely as four men hanging another man. Jimbo and Ned, who aren't racist but are against having the flag changed for the sake of preserving history, sneak into a KKK meeting disguised as Klan members in order to convince them to switch sides, since they know nobody will vote for whichever side the KKK supports (in fact that's the argument they used, and the KKK agreed with them). When they sneak out of the meeting, they remove their hoods, only for Chef to drive by at that exact moment.
In "La Petit Tourette", Kyle is accused of not believing that Tourette's Syndrome is real and is forced to meet various people with the condition. The adults all ignore Kyle's protests that he does believe in the condition; he just doesn't believe Cartman's claim that he has Tourette's (Cartman is just using the disease as an excuse to say whatever insult he wants).
In "The Big Fix" it's revealed that Token Black was named Tolkien all along, and apparently everyone in South Park knew except Stan and Randy. Stan goes to his doctor seeking advice, only for him to angrily gaslight Stan and the audience over the mistake.

In the 1955 film Blackboard Jungle the protagonist gets mistaken for a racist when he uses racial slurs in class. One of his students told the principal about it without context to get him into trouble.

Penny and Aggie, in the storyline appropriately titled "The Race Card". Aggie publicly accuses Penny of blowing off a blind date with Duane "because he's black." In fact, Penny had simply assumed his love letter came from another guy with the same vague description.

In Astro City, a comic book publisher writes a comic where real-life supervillain Glow Worm, an enemy of the African-American hero Jack In The Box, is depicted as a white racist. Glow Worm, a mutant half-human/half-worm with blue skin, attacks the publisher in a rage and reveals that he is also black (that is, before he got turned into a mutant).

A variant in one Firefly comic where a character is mistaken for being a religious bigot. While the crew is escorting a group of pagan pilgrims for a job, they're out of nowhere attacked by what seem like crazed bandits raving about putting a stop to the pilgrims' pagan rituals. The crew drive them off, assuming they were some kind of intolerant and extremist Christian fundamentalists. They were actually trying to save the crew; those "pilgrims" turn out to actually be a deranged cult that were planning to use the crew in a Human Sacrifice once they had outlived their usefulness as bodyguards.

Family Guy:
Brian gets it from his father. It's a Running Gag, and in at least one episode the full attempts to prove "not racist" backfiring is shown.
"I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" has Peter sent to sensitivity training and coming back as a Straw Feminist. At one point he gets up in front of a gathering of men and rants that it's their fault that there's so much crime and violence in the world. Unfortunately, said gathering happens to be the Million Man March, where all the attendants are Black and are offended by Peter's remark.
When Peter tries smoking crack:
In "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", Peter thinks that being Jewish automatically makes you intelligent (after befriending a stereotypically savvy Jewish financial planner) and takes Chris to get bar mitzvah'ed. When Lois goes to stop them, she talks about how wrong it is, but the people in the synagogue mistakenly think she's a self-hating Jew and chase the Griffins out.
In "Deep Throats", Brian gets a job as a cab driver. When he sees Cleveland, he decides against picking him up to buy some milk, causing Cleveland to assume Brian didn't pick him up because he's black. At the end of the episode, Cleveland retaliates by smashing Brian's cab with a golf club.
In "A Shot in the Dark", Peter unwittingly shoots Cleveland Jr. at night after mistaking him for a burglar, but people assume it was a hate crime.
Exaggerated in one episode where Peter wants Jerome to move out for the quite understandable reason that Jerome and Lois have a history, which they are constantly bringing up with Peter around. Peter resolves to chase him out by dressing as a ghost with a torch.

Yahtzee Croshaw anticipated this response to his Zero Punctuation review of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, and spent a good minute of the review in question explaining in exhaustive detail that he is not, in fact, a racist, all while the words "UNFUNNY SOAPBOX BIT" scrolled behind the animation in the background. And then he finished the review with this line:

An episode of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme features a man who is convinced his granddad is racist. The pattern of the sketch is: Grandad says "Now, the thing about [race]...", his grandson tries to stop him, and he actually says something complimentary. The grandson protests that this is still stereotyping, and eventually becomes so confused that he starts saying racist stuff.

In Soul Plane, Elvis Hunkee (Tom Arnold) meets an old black classmate named Karl at the airport. Karl remembers Hunkee since he and the other kids always pick him last when playing basketball due to the fact he was black. But Hunkee reveals a funny shocker to Karl: it turns out the other kids picked him last not because he was black but because he was a horrible basketball player! The ironic part was the classmate is actually Karl Malone of the L.A. Lakers, a famous NBA player which Hunkee think he's joking which leaves Karl bewildered by this revelation.

At one point in Spider-Verse, Miles Morales and the Spider-Man from the Ultimate Spider-Man TV show team up with the Spider-Man from the '60s animated series. When Miles unmasks, the '60s Spider-Man is visibly shocked, causing the animated Ultimate Spidey to think he's a racist. Instead, it turns out that '60s Spidey is proud to learn that the Spider-Man legacy has lived on, and was actually expressing shock at the fact that the new Spider-Man is so young.

During a June 2018 interview, Kenny Omega stated that foreign wrestlers in New Japan were "hungrier and worked harder" than the native talent. Two fans misconstrued this and declared Omega a racist despite his being pro wrestling's greatest Occidental Otaku and the numerous examples that many hardcore NJPW fans of both Japanese and Western origins have noted to back up what he's saying.

A similar joke occurs in Divided We Fall. Stature captures Miles after being brainwashed by the Mind Gem, and states that the new Spider-Man isn't what she was expecting. Miles calls her a racist in his internal narration but then realizes she was likely referring to the fact that he's only 13-years old.
