** Joffrey is a HeManWomanHater, showing basically no respect for any of the women around him (which, to be fair, is not much more respect than he shows anyone else) and stating in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E2DarkWingsDarkWords Dark Wings, Dark Words]]" that intelligent women do as they're told. Also, when speaking about his late uncle Renly, a not-so-closeted homosexual, he says he considered "making his perversion punishable by death". Of course, this is more to the viewers than the other characters, since it's MedievalEuropeanFantasy, and this view was the norm in actual Medieval Europe, with homosexuality usually being punishable by death -- it would be more surprising if it wasn't. "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS4E2TheLionAndTheRose The Lion and the Rose]]" has his re-enactment of the War of the Five Kings with dwarf entertainers. In addition to insulting several of his guests, his in-laws ''and'' his uncle at the same time, the quiet reaction from most of the crowd while Joffrey giggles like a madman speaks volumes for how offensive ''they'' find the performance.
** Played with in regard to his grandfather, Tywin Lannister.

** Euron Greyjoy is strongly implied to be an ableist, given his disrespectful attitude towards [[AnArmAndALeg Jamie]], [[LittlePeopleAreSurreal Tyrion]], and his nephew [[CripplingCastration Theon]] in particular. He's also rather misogynistic, believing that women should work as servants and laborers for an army instead of fighting on the front lines or holding a position of power.

** The Toymaker, in his first appearance in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E7TheCelestialToymaker The Celestial Toymaker]]", wears the garb of a Chinese Mandarin, despite having the appearance of a Caucasian man. In his return nearly 60 years later in "[[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheGiggle The Giggle]]", he's unapologetically racist, sexist, and at the very least anti-trans. Whether or not he genuinely possesses these views or is merely playing the role as part of the 'Game of the 21st Century', however, is more ambiguous

** In "[[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheStarBeast The Star Beast]]", once [[spoiler:The Meep]] reveals their true colours, they refer to Rose Noble (a transgender girl) as Donna's "weird child".

*** Similarly to Joffrey, he expresses a disdain for women but when Cersei assumes he doesn't let her 'contribute' because she's a woman, he does make the (quite correct) point that he distrusts his daughter because she's a SmugSnake, not because she's a woman. He names TheUnfavorite Tyrion as Hand of the King in his stead after Joffrey kills Ned Stark because he wants Tyrion to do damage control, something he rightly assumes Cersei isn't capable of doing. However, despite Tywin's opinion of her intelligence, it becomes clear that he sees Cersei as a brood mare to be married off to make connections and babies precisely because she's a woman. As for Tyrion, though he's willing to put Tyrion to work and doesn't deny his skills, he still hates Tyrion because he's a dwarf (as well as the fact that he [[MaternalDeathBlameTheChild blames Tyrion for killing his wife, Joanna, in childbirth]]) and thus 'not a presentable Lannister', refusing to name Tyrion as his heir so long as Jaime, the Golden Boy of the family, may potentially take up that role. Though Jaime's vows to the Kingsguard disqualify him from serving that role, Tywin is convinced he can talk/bribe/extort Jaime into quitting somehow, coming awfully close in Season 4.

** Resident SmugSnake StraightGay [[AlliterativeName Sebastian Smythe]] cements his descent to full-on villain by insulting CampGay Kurt Hummel's fashion choices with a sexist slur, and offering to have his father, an AmoralAttorney, throw SpicyLatina Santana Lopez 'in prison with the rest of her relatives'... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or deliver them a piñata]].

* ''Series/AndThenThereWereNone2015''

** In the original novel, Agatha Christie's depiction of Isaac Morris was antisemitic, with characters uncritically referring to him as a "jewboy" whose Jewish sensibilities allowed him to instantly work out how rich someone was. In the series, this is reframed to foreshadow how unpleasant Emily Brent is; when Isaac Morris' name is mentioned, she remarks that you'll find Jews at the bottom of any trouble.

** Mostly played for laughs, but in "[[Recap/AngelS05E20TheGirlInQuestion The Girl in Question]]", the head of the Italian Wolfram & Heart branch had a lot of spite towards gypsies. To be fair, they showed spite when trying to assist Angel, who was cursed by gypsies.

** Homelander is most certainly racist and ableist; he refers to Arabs as "camel jockeys" and maims/kills a Seven prospect who is blind because he doesn't want a "cripple" on his team. He also willingly associates with [[ThoseWackyNazis Stormfront]], only [[EvenEvilHasStandards showing discomfort]] at her peddling the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_genocide_conspiracy_theory white genocide conspiracy theory]] to his son. Additionally, Homelander's constant quips that Becca is raising Ryan to be a pussy or "like a girl" strongly indicate he's a misogynist. Plus he has nothing but contempt for non-Supes ([[{{Narcissist}} and pretty much everybody who isn't him]]), believing their only lot in life is to grovel at his feet.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] by ComicBook/CaptainAmerica {{expy}} [[AdaptationalJerkass Soldier Boy]] who's been around since the early 20th century like Stormfront and [[DeliberateValuesDissonance barely changed his views since then]]. He hazed his sidekick to the point of abuse because MiseryBuildsCharacter, [[CasanovaWannabe hit on Mallory with every stereotypically sexist line in the book]], and when returning to America [[FishOutOfTemporalWater after having been a Russian captive for the past 40 years]] he scoffs at a gay couple walking down the street. However, despite helping the CIA smuggle cocaine into black neighborhoods he's not shown to be racist, as he had high praise for Creator/BillCosby and the Mujahideen. Also unlike say Homelander or Stormfront, he doesn't actively antagonize anyone who isn't a straight white man.
* The fifth season of ''Series/BreakingBad'' introduced a group of neo-Nazis who end up playing a very large role in the events of the season. However, their beliefs border on being an InformedAttribute. Apart from having a few swastika tattoos, they never do or say anything particularly racist, and their designation as Nazis seems to just be a shorthand way of saying "these guys are bad news." The only exception is Kenny's bizarre hatred of bike helmets and their mocking of [[spoiler:Jesse [[MenDontCry crying]] during his confession video]].

--->'''Shirley''': You have literally introduced me to strangers as "the black woman".\\
'''Troy''': He used to think I was Shirley's nephew. He doesn't anymore. Now, [[DiggingYourselfDeeper he thinks we're cousins.]]\\
'''Pierce''': You're not?\\
'''Abed''': He still thinks I'm a terrorist.\\
'''Pierce''': If you're not, I apologize. [[InsaneTrollLogic If you are, I'm a hero. I'm willing to take those odds.]]\\
'''Annie''': You said I have a "crafty Jew brain"!\\
'''Pierce''': Nobody knows how to take a compliment anymore!

** The false Messiah in "Mechanics of Modern Movement" mentions that he wrote a song about race mixing entitled "Don't You Do It!"

* ''Series/DavyCrockett1954'': The second episode, ''Davy Crockett Goes To Congress'', features this ''heavily''. In order of appearance:

--->'''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia The Master (Jacobi):]]''' Killed by an insect... a ''girl''! How... inappropriate.[[note]]The "girl" in question was a humanoid insect.[[/note]]\\
'''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums The Master]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords (Simm):]]''' ''[to Martha[[note]]Black woman[[/note]] and Jack[[note]]Queer immortal[[/note]][=]=]'' Oh look, it's the girly and the freak! Though I'm not sure which is which...

*** When the Simm Master returns in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E12TheDoctorFalls "The Doctor Falls"]], he's ''still'' sexist, and seems rather put out by the idea he's going to become a woman. [[ScrewYourself Which doesn't stop him flirting with her.]]
** Lady Cassandra from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld "The End of The World"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]] is one of the most racist and elitist characters in the show. She considers herself the [[LastOfHerKind "last human"]] and looks down on everybody else as mongrels, despite the fact that just like Rose points out, she has mutilated herself through plastic surgery so many times that she hardly resembles a human being even physically anymore. Since Cassandra later recognizes Rose as a "pure-blooded" human like her, Cassandra herself might be a parody and deconstruction of the usual white supremacist villain, perhaps, considering that she and Rose represent past and future British values Cassandra might represent the old protestant conservatives, going so far as to [[GrandTheftMe snatch Rose's body]] in order to live on as a "pure" human. Since Rose fits [[TheSocialDarwinist her racial eugenics]], she is forced to carry on Cassandra's personality because their [[MasterRace "purity" somehow makes them superior to everybody else]]. In a bit of a subversion, Cassandra does value loyalty a lot and has a [[BenevolentBoss fondness for the people that prove themselves to her]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature "Human Nature"]] features an already fairly unlikeable snobby public schoolboy who then snidely comments to Martha, who's working undercover as a maid, "with hands that colour, how can you tell when anything's clean?" This was more to cement his unsympathetic nature rather than his evil nature, as a few scenes later he dies at the hands of some aliens in such a way that [[AssholeVictim the audience is not meant to feel sorry for him]].
** While the villain of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship"]] already was pretty unlikable (he [[spoiler:killed an entire crew of hibernating aliens just to steal the dinosaurs they were transporting]]), he reaches new levels of cruelty when he threatens the Doctor into [[spoiler:handing over Nefertiti. She leaves with him voluntarily, and he gleefully talks about how he wants to "break" her.]]
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E3ThinIce "Thin Ice"]], the [[EstablishingCharacterMoment very first thing]] that the villainous Lord Sutcliffe does is to start racially abusing black companion Bill the instant that he sees her. The Doctor [[TalkToTheFist punches him]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E3Rosa "Rosa"]]: Krasko is a racist time traveller from the far future who is trying to prevent the American Civil Rights Movement from happening by preventing Rosa Parks' famous bus ride.

* The fourth season ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E10CoupByClam Coup by Clam]]" features a security guard named Mekken who is extremely coarse and misogynistic (and it isn't just him -- all the females of his native planet are badly oppressed). When Scorpius accompanies him on his tour of Moya to make sure he doesn't try anything underhanded, the guard uses the opportunity to loudly voice his relief that Moya is "controlled" by a male Pilot, among other things. And when he discovers that the mechanic he's guarding is actually [[SweetPollyOliver a woman]], he attempts to kill both her and Chiana -- [[VillainousRescue right before Scorpius breaks his neck]].
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': In the episode "[[Recap/FireflyE13HeartOfGold Heart of Gold]]", the Villain of the Week, Rance Burgess, is misogynistic to such an extent that he apparently forces a traitorous prostitute to well... suck him off in front of his lynch mob, in order to prove his superiority over women.
* ''Series/TheFlash1990'' episode "Ghost in the Machine", has the titular Ghost use the term "colored" once when he realizes his old archfoe, the Nightshade, is an African-American man.

** Joffrey is a HeManWomanHater, showing basically no respect for any of the women around him (which, to be fair, is not much more respect than he shows anyone else) and stating in "Dark Wings, Dark Worlds" that intelligent women do as they're told. Also, when speaking about his late uncle Renly, a not-so-closeted homosexual, he says he considered "making his perversion punishable by death." Of course, this is more to the viewers than the other characters, since it's {{Medieval European fantasy}}, and this view was the norm in actual Medieval Europe, with homosexuality usually being punishable by death-it would be more surprising if it wasn't. "The Lion and the Rose" has his re-enactment of the War of the Five Kings with dwarf entertainers. In addition to insulting several of his guests, his in-laws ''and'' his uncle at the same time, the quiet reaction from most of the crowd while Joffrey giggled like a madman, speaks volumes for how offensive ''they'' found the performance.
** Played with in regards to his grandfather, Tywin Lannister.

** Euron Greyjoy is strongly implied to be an ableist, given his disrespectful attitude towards [[AnArmAndALeg Jamie,]] [[LittlePeopleAreSurreal Tyrion,]] and his nephew [[CripplingCastration Theon]] in particular. He's also rather misogynistic, believing that women should work as servants and laborers for an army instead of fighting on the front lines or holding a position of power.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' has resident SmugSnake StraightGay [[AlliterativeName Sebastian Smythe]] cement his descent to full-on villain by insulting CampGay Kurt Hummel's fashion choices with a sexist slur, and offering to have his father, an AmoralAttorney, throw SpicyLatina Santana Lopez 'in prison with the rest of her relatives.' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Or deliver them a piñata.]]
** Sue is also extremely politically incorrect, with her constant fat jokes towards Finn and Mercedes, essentially forcing her cheeleaders to follow dangerous starvation diets, transphobic comments towards Unique, and her habit of giving everyone (usually insulting) nicknames based on their race, age, disability, sexual orientation, and body type. The one thing she's surprisingly sensitive about is mental disability, as she becomes [[MoralityPet fiercely protective]] of a girl with Down's Syndrome who tries out for cheerleading squad, and it's eventually revealed that she has a sister with Down's as well, whom she loves very much.
* [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with ArcVillain [[AsianAndNerdy Dr. Han]] in ''Series/TheGoodDoctor''. He's an [[InsufferableGenius arrogant]] DrJerk who torments the medical residents studying under him with his impossible standards, and reassigns the IdiotSavant protagonist Shaun against his will because he believed his HollywoodAutism made him a liability before firing him when he has a meltdown trying to confront him over it. While [[JerkassHasAPoint he had valid points]] about the nature of Shaun's profession requiring effective communication, he had a highly prejudiced attitude towards his condition and outright dismisses the idea that he could overcome his shortcomings while lying to Shaun's face that he would eventually trust him with more responsibilities if he continued to perform well in his new role.

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative]], [[AbusiveParents abusive]], and [[{{Pride}} snobbish]] EvilMatriarch Veronica Harrington in ''Series/TheHavesAndTheHaveNots'' is intensely homophobic (the principal reason she abuses her son Jeffrey) and also racist (she won't even accept Jeffrey dating a white woman and insists that he date a "big, black woman").

** "Hate Crime" has Bayliss and Pembleton attempt to track down two skinheads [[HomophobicHateCrime who had murdered a young man for being gay.]] Though the skinheads evade Justice, Bayliss and Pembleton get a consolation prize when they rough up and humiliate their boss.
** The BigBad of the first {{Crossover}} with ''Series/LawAndOrder'' was Colonel Alexander Rausch, a white supremacist and domestic terrorist.

* ''Series/ICarly'': Wade Collins in "iRocked The Vote".
-->'''Wade:''' [[ChildHater I hate children]], I hate teenagers, [[CruellaToAnimals I hate animals]], [[EvilBrit AND I HATE AMERICA!]]

** During the discussion between Mac and Dennis over whether or not blackface can be done inoffensively, Frank says you gotta make the [[GagLips lips funny]] when doing blackface and shows pretty offensive examples of blackface to prove his point. Which obviously fails to prove his point.

** The RightWingMilitiaFanatic was a recurring trope in early seasons. However, befitting the show's conservative views, they're treated with a good deal more nuance than in most fiction. Some, like the antagonists from ''Brig Break'', are explicitly Aryan Nations and villainized accordingly; others, like Colonel O'Hara from ''We The People'', are portrayed this way by their political enemies but in reality are honorable people with legitimate grievances who happen to hold strongly right-wing views. Finally, it's shown repeatedly that even the bad people in these groups aren't necessarily bigots driven by prejudice so much as common criminals looking for a payout (the aforementioned Aryans, for example, are trying to steal high-tech weapons from a Navy base, but their inside man betrays them as soon as the theft is carried out, planning to sell them to the Iraqis instead for a much higher payday).
** In general, identity politics in the U.S. military is a frequent cause for JAG investigations, with the service's multi-racial nature, the increasing integration of women into combat roles, and the question of gays serving in the military offering plenty of opportunities for friction. Sometimes, the investigation leads to this kind of villain, who really is a straightforward bigot. At other times, the issue is honest misunderstanding or personality clashes. And sometimes, media or political figures try to make it appear that prejudice is at stake in order to whip up a controversy that the facts may not justify.

* Parodied in a ''Series/KeyAndPeele'' sketch, where a duo of black men (played by Creator/JordanPeele and Creator/KeeganMichaelKey) caught in the middle of a ZombieApocalypse are offended to find the zombies are so racist they're [[HorrifyingTheHorror terrified of]] ''[[HorrifyingTheHorror them]]''.
--> '''Key:''' These are some racist motherfucking zombies.

** It's also not uncommon for [[AmoralAttorney jerkass defense attorneys]] or uncooperative witnesses to engage in this, frequently referring to female detectives or [=ADA=]s as "honey", "sweetheart", or the more directly hostile "bitch". Fin and Amaro have also been subject to racially derogatory comments (a perp derisively addresses Amaro as "amigo", and another makes a crack about affirmative action when they both confront him).
** Given that the case in "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS7E6Raw Raw]]" centers around an extremist white supremacist group, it's not entirely surprising that pretty much all the bad guys (and anyone associated with them) is this. Although one of the most vocal examples [[spoiler:turns out to be an undercover FBI agent taking on this persona intentionally as part of the operation. After the reveal, she makes a point to apologize to Munch (Jewish) and Fin (African-American) for her comments]]. Brian Ackerman takes the cake though, even going so far to call Olivia "the prerequisite tuna feminist" and "[[UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton Hillary]]", and expressing to Cragen his shock that "they" still let white men have positions of power "unless, of course, you're a homosexual".
* ''Series/{{Legend}}'': Ludwig Hauptman, a wealthy German (and to Ernest's chagrin, his European publisher) on a tour of the Wild West. It's not just the fact that he's hunting a buffalo herd precious to the local Arapahos, he also approvingly quotes General Sherman's statement that killing the buffalo will destroy the way of life of the Great Plains tribes, showing that he's fully aware of what he's doing. He isn't much better in dealing with other European ethnicities, greeting Professor Bartok as "a Gypsy to carry our guns," to which Bartok replies that if ''he'' were a German, he'd be very careful about handing loaded guns to a Hungarian.[[note]]Hungary was stripped of its constitution and sovereign status after the failed revolution of 1848 and placed under the absolute authority of the - ethnically German - Hapsburg monarchy. By the time of the TV show, Hungarian sovereignty had been partially restored, but the resentment was a lot slower to fade.[[/note]]
* ''Series/LeverageRedemption'': While the original series focused almost entirely on white collar criminals and organized crime figures, this one branched out into this kind of villain a couple of times, though still usually with a profiteering angle of some sort.
** ''The Great Train Job'': the villains are a hate group trying to run a (gay and biracial) couple of farmers off their land, who turn out to be tied to an investor who wants the land for his own purposes but is a pretty big racist in his own right. While the episode is happy to make the bigots look ridiculous, the initial assault on one of the farmers is not in any way PlayedForLaughs and the writers are happy to make the point that such people can be total clowns and still very much worth worrying about.
--->'''Harry''': I can help you. These guys aren't smart.
--->'''Elliot''': No. They are not smart and they are not tough. [[ItsAllAboutMe They are entitled.]] [[StupidEvil And they are stupid.]] [[NotSoHarmlessVillain And that is what makes them dangerous.]]
** ''The Belly Of The Beast Job'': The episode revolves around a couple of employees attempting to bring down a music producer who's been sexually assaulting his employees and bribing or bullying them into silence. With a little help from the heroes.

* ''Series/MacGyver1985'': Very common, given the show's liberal bent and fondness for tackling real-world issues. Someone expressing bigoted views is, in fact, a fairly common sign that they're a villain, and a full list of those to whom that applies would be far too long. There are a couple that stand out even by the series' standards, however:
** ''The Challenge'', widely viewed as the darkest episode of the series, features a white supremacist villain who tries to frame a local inner-city youth center as a nexus for drugs and gangs (the very thing the club exists to draw inner city teens ''away'' from), and when the gambit fails, kidnaps and lynches the youth center's leader out of sheer spite. Not by accident, the villain is an utterly ordinary shop owner from Los Angeles rather than being from Germany, South Africa, the American South or any other region stereotypically associated with white supremacy, nor does he seem affiliated with any of the more infamous groups like the Nazi Party or Ku Klux Klan (though he and his goons do briefly put on white hoods to hide their identities during the kidnapping). The episode wanted to make the point that this kind of mentality, and the violence associated with it, really can pop up everywhere.
** ''The Ten Percent Solution'' is another extreme example: the villains are escaped Nazi war criminals who've linked up with Aryan Nation movements in the United States, with the long-term goal of taking over five U.S. states and leading them into secession from their homeland. While this is a much pulpier example, the plot is in fact based on a real life idea embraced by some of the nation's white supremacist movements at the time the episode was made. [[note]]It never got past the theoretical stages, largely because the plan hinged on enough neo-Nazis moving to the same couple of states to become a real electoral force... [[ItsAllAboutMe and none of them wanted to be the ones that had to move]].[[/note]]

** Frank Burns is a borderline case, usually, showing far more dislike of Koreans than necessary, often even extending to South Koreans. He stops short of resorting to racial slurs, however, something that a few even more unsavory types do, and one of his more well-known PetTheDog moments involved helping Hawkeye expose an unintentional U.S. Army attack on a South Korean village that the brass was refusing to take responsibility for.
** He ''was'' incredibly homophobic, however, in one episode trying to get a gay soldier court martialed for no reason other than that, even though the only evidence was a statement the guy had made. (Which Burns had overheard.) Even Major Houlihan (often Burns' partner in any scheme involving military regulations) [[EveryoneHasStandards couldn't support him this time.]] Hawkeye and Trapper had to lure Burns into exposing dirt on himself that they could use to blackmail him with (they fooled him into admitting he had bought the answers to his medical school final) and "convinced" him to leave the guy alone. (A common counter to Burns' schemes; he tends to give up when he discovers he'll get in even ''worse'' trouble than a potential victim.)
** Calling Charles Winchester a "villain" is kind of a stretch, but he showed blatant bigotry in one episode where his sister wrote to inform him she was engaged; he objected to her fiancé solely due to the fact that he was Italian. He ultimately offers a sincere apology for his objection, though.
*** Interestingly, for all his snobbery, Winchester is pointedly ''not'' ableist, to the point of aggressively dressing down a sergeant who mocked a soldier for stuttering. [[BerserkButton It's revealed that Charles' sister has a similar speech impediment.]]
* Ángel Mercader from ''Series/{{Machos}}'', he is tremendously sexist (he believes that it is humiliating that a man is unemployed and his wife is the one who works, and if a woman expresses professional ambitions, she believes that she is trying to usurp the place of a man), it is also very homophobic, especially with Ariel, his gay son.
* ''Series/MissionImpossible'': Not the show's most common villains; that was DirtyCommunists (in the earlier seasons) and TheMafia (in the later ones). However, a great many other antagonists appeared throughout the series, some of whom fell into this category. Former Nazis attempting to revive their ideology in the modern world appeared several times, as did African white settler regimes practicing apartheid.

-->You people hunted my mum through the snow with dogs.

** Put front-and-centre in the fifth series, whose villain is the HistoricalDomainCharacter Oswald Moseley, founder of the British Union of Fascists. Naturally, he's a deeply racist man, with a pretty low opinion of women, too, and he gives a big NewEraSpeech in one episode about needing to liberate Britain from Jewish influence. His ViolentGlaswegian [[TheDragon dragon]], Jimmy [=McCavern=] -- on top of providing muscle for Mosley, which is pretty damning on its own -- makes a number of anti-Irish and anti-ziganist remarks, and even [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduces himself]] with a song about anti-Irish violence. Ironically, Jimmy is played by Irish actor Brian Gleeson (son of [[Creator/BrendanGleeson Brendan]] and brother of [[Creator/DomhnallGleeson Domhnall]]).

** [[spoiler: Joe]] is later shown to be one. He insinuates Jane, who is black, only get her job because of the business she worked for wanting to fill diversity quotas, and implies that Penelope isn't a real American because she's Latina, asking what country her family is from.

* ''Series/TheRookie2018'': Doug Stanton. He's an abusive, racist cop with no qualms arresting minorities for minor actions (along with him hassling them for nothing at all). This obviously rubs West the wrong way, determining he's got to go, and Doug is set up as being the antagonist of Season 3.
* ''Series/SamuraiGourmet'': The yakitori chef made some fine yakitori, but as soon as he showed his reaction to ''Americans'' waltzing into his place, bye-bye sympathy.
* ''Series/TheSchoolNurseFiles'': The evil spirits in the school's basement makes the students and the teachers homophobic, and the spirits make the teachers make fun of Mr.Hong's disability.

* ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'': Recurring antagonists. The Nordics (the local meth dealing skinhead gang), the League of American Nationalists (a more organized white supremacist movement that tries to move into Charming and drive the Sons out), and the Aryan Brotherhood (a real-life prison gang). Downplayed in that the Sons have their own racial hangups - they don't allow black members, for example. The difference is that outside of their ranks, they don't really care about race, being happy to supply black and Chinese gangs in nearby cities with weapons, or form a partnership with a Mexican pimp, which their white supremacist enemies can't tolerate. (The League, in fact, breaks apart when TheDragon of the organization discovers that his boss formed a similar alliance with a Mexican biker gang against the Sons; the entire reason he's in the League is to fight against that sort of thing).
* The quick way to tell who was bad in ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' was their attitude toward the [[DesignerBabies Tanks]].
* ''Series/TheSopranos'': The Italian-American Mafia is shown to have very socially conservative beliefs and traditions. The idea of a woman captain is nigh unthinkable to them, they consider black people as thugs for hire (frequently making up cover stories for crimes by saying some variant of "two black guys did it"), finding out one of their own is queer is grounds for their immediate execution (even performing oral sex ''on a woman'' is considered evidence of homosexual behaviour), and they're allowed to have as many mistresses as they please, [[DoubleStandard but their own wives must be loyal to them one-hundred percent]]. Tony is a little better than the rest in this regard (for example, he's able to forgive an underling for being gay, [[PragmaticVillainy because he's a big earner]], and only agrees to a whacking due to peer pressure) but only comparatively (he once had a panic attack from seeing the black man logo for Uncle Ben's rice, and is enraged when his wife admits to an ''emotional'' affair with an underling, while at the same time he's having sex with a new woman every other week).
* ''Series/{{Spooks}}'': A common source of villains. Domestic far-right terrorists with homophobic, Islamophobic, and anti-immigrant beliefs. Shady spymasters and politicians, both British and American, who holds similar beliefs and use [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror the threat of Islamic terrorism]] to scare the public or their peers into supporting them. And the aforementioned Islamic terrorists, who claim to be fighting oppression but are really cultural chauvinists who dislike the West for the same reason they do any other culture that isn't theirs.

** Sexism. System Lord Baal, the long-running [[TheStarscream Starscream]] on the show, was perhaps one of the show's more appealing villains, in that his approach was somewhat more subtle and frank than the usual AlwaysChaoticEvil, [[LawfulStupidChaoticStupid Chaotic Stupid]] rhetoric of the series various {{Big Bad}}s. This was balanced out by him being a blatant misogynist, making several sexist comments (usually directed at Colonel Carter) throughout the show's run. He finally got his comeuppance in "The Quest, Part II" when Carter got fed up and punched him in the face. It's also shown by [[spoiler: Kitano]], foreshadowing the reveal that he's a Goa'uld. When Sam is called upon to demonstrate the effectiveness of Tau'ri weaponry, [[spoiler: Kitano]] makes no attempt to hide his disbelief that "the female" could be any good with a gun. And then there's Moloch, a Goa'uld lord who decrees that all female Jaffa born in his domain must be sacrificed, believing that only males make good warriors.
** In ''The Other Side'', the team makes first contact with a people who are instantly suspicious of Teal'c. They initially assume it's because he's a Jaffa (the footsoldiers of the Goa'uld), which is a reaction they've encountered often enough and that even Teal'c finds understandable. It's only halfway through the episode that O'Neill finally realizes they're dealing with racial supremacists, and that Teal'c skin color (which has never at any previous point been an issue) rather than his Jaffa markings are what they find objectionable.

* [[Characters/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineGulDukat Gul Dukat]] in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' was a virulent [[FantasticRacism speciesist]] and more than a little sexist, openly lusting over the women around him. He tried to conceal it early on, claiming to view Bajorans with paternalism and concern, but eventually embraced his hatred for them after Sisko forced him to admit that he was a vicious monster rather than the AntiHero he claimed to be. When Sisko has a vision of himself and other [=DS9=] characters as people in 1960's UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, Dukat is a racist cop who harasses and beats him.

* {{Inverted}} in ''Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook'' with Captain Todger, the [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero racist, sexist, homophobic superhero]] who has been in prison for statutory rape, and General Drayfox, the evil but incredibly PC and sensitive supervillain.

* The second season of ''Series/{{Timeless}}'' has Nicholas Keynes, a UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne-era [[spoiler:Rittenhouse member]], who maintains his time's attitude about women after ending up in 2018 and [[spoiler:taking over as the head of Rittenhouse]]. One of his plans is to [[spoiler:end women's suffrage before it takes off, thus [[StayInTheKitchen keeping women in the kitchen]]]]. In fact, this act results in [[spoiler:his loyal NumberTwo Emma helping the protagonists in preventing the ploy just this one time, as she doesn't want women's equality to be rolled back]]. Earlier, in Season 1, it's revealed that [[spoiler:David Rittenhouse, the founder of the AncientConspiracy,]] was even worse in that respect, seeing women as little more than sex objects and breeders and black people as slaves. Fortunately, [[spoiler:most Rittenhouse members aren't as backward]].
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone2019S2E9TryTry Try Try]]" Mark says men dominate, it's what they do, when justifying his attempted rape of Claudia.

-->[[spoiler:'''Keene''']]: It is extremely difficult to be a white man in America right now. [[spoiler:So I'm thinking... [[WhamLine I might try being a blue one]].]]
* On ''Series/TheWire'', any time a gangster refers to Omar using an anti-gay slur instead of his name, [[DrinkingGame take a shot]].
* Mel Profitt has a tendency to hurl ethnic slurs at Vinnie when he's upset with him on ''Series/{{Wiseguy}}''. There's also the Pilgrims of Promise from the second season, a white supremacist group that moves into Vinnie's old neighborhood.

* ''Series/ThePurge'':

** Lady Cassandra from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld "The End of The World"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth "New Earth"]] is one of the most racist and elitist characters in the show. She considers herself the [[LastOfHerKind "last human"]] and looks down on everybody else as mongrels, despite the fact that just like Rose points out, she has mutilated herself through plastic surgery so many times that she hardly resembles a human being even physically anymore. Since Cassandra later recognizes Rose as a "pure-blooded" human like her, Cassandra herself might be a parody and deconstruction of the usual white supremacist villain, perhaps, considering that she and Rose represent past and future British values Cassandra might represent the old protestant conservatives, going so far as to [[GrandTheftMe snatch Rose's body]] in order to live on as a "pure" human. Since Rose fits [[TheSocialDarwinist her racial eugenics]], she is forced to carry on Cassandra's personality because their [[MasterRace "purity" somehow makes them superior to everybody else]]. In a bit of a subversion, Cassandra does value loyalty a lot and has a [[BenevolentBoss fondness for the people that proof themselves to her]].

* ''Series/DoomPatrol'': The Bureau of Normalcy are a covert government organization obsessed with imprisoning and destroying individuals they view as abnormal. This would be enough to put them at odds with our heroes, but it's also implied that they targeted Larry Trainor and Danny the Street specifically due to them respectively being gay and non-binary.

** Blue Hawk is a StrawmanPolitical for critics of the Black Lives Matter movement, who speaks almost exclusively in dog whistles like "All Lives Matter," "blacks are predisposed to be aggressive and criminal", and "tough on crime." However, it's implied that his contempt isn't reserved for just black people but non-powered humans in general like Homelander, as he cheerfully reminds A-Train that they were all trained to "[[PoliceBrutality dominate totally]]" when dealing with civilians and shouts "''Supe'' Lives Matter!" when faced with an angry crowd.

* Gul Dukat in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' was a virulent [[FantasticRacism speciesist]] and more than a little sexist, openly lusting over the women around him. He tried to conceal it early on, claiming to view Bajorans with paternalism and concern, but eventually embraced his hatred for them after Sisko forced him to admit that he was a vicious monster rather than the AntiHero he claimed to be. When Sisko has a vision of himself and other [=DS9=] characters as people in 1960's UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, Dukat is a racist cop who harasses and beats him.

* System Lord Baal, the long-running [[TheStarscream Starscream]] on ''Series/StargateSG1'', was perhaps one of the show's more appealing villains, in that his approach was somewhat more subtle and frank than the usual AlwaysChaoticEvil, [[LawfulStupidChaoticStupid Chaotic Stupid]] rhetoric of the series various {{Big Bad}}s. This was balanced out by him being a blatant misogynist, making several sexist comments (usually directed at Colonel Carter) throughout the show's run. He finally got his comeuppance in "The Quest, Part II" when Carter got fed up and punched him in the face. It's also shown by [[spoiler: Kitano]], foreshadowing the reveal that he's a Goa'uld. When Sam is called upon to demonstrate the effectiveness of Tau'ri weaponry, [[spoiler: Kitano]] makes no attempt to hide his disbelief that "the female" could be any good with a gun.

* Mel Profitt has a tendency to hurl ethnic slurs at Vinnie when he's upset with him on ''Series/{{Wiseguy}}''.

* [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with ArcVillain [[AsianAndNerdy Dr. Han]] in ''Series/TheGoodDoctor''. He's an [[InsufferableGenius arrogant]] DrJerk who torments the medical residents studying under him with his impossible standards, and reassigns the IdiotSavant protagonist Shaun against his will because he believed his HollywoodAutism made him a liability before firing him when he understandably has a meltdown trying to confront him over it. While [[JerkassHasAPoint he had valid points]] about the nature of Shaun's profession requiring effective communication, he had a highly prejudiced attitude towards his condition and outright dismisses the idea that he could overcome his shortcomings.

* The ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode "Limelight" featured Jeremy Andrus, a serial killer who was severely misogynistic, to the point that he referred to women using the words "it" and "bleeder".

** Lady Cassandra from "The End of The World" and "New Earth" is one of the most racist and elitist characters in the show. She considers herself the [[LastOfHerKind "Last Human"]] and looks down on everybody else as mongrels, despite the fact that just like Rose points out, she has mutilated herself through plastic surgery so many times that she hardly resembles a human being even physically anymore.

Since Rose fits [[SocialDarwinist her racial eugenics,]] she is forced to carry on Cassandra's personality because their [[MasterRace "purity" somehow makes them superior to everybody else.]] In a bit of a subversion, Cassandra does value loyalty a lot and has a [[BenevolentBoss fondness for the people that proof themselves to her.]]
* The fourth season ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "Coup By Clam" features a security guard named Mekken who is extremely coarse and misogynistic (and it isn't just him -- all the females of his native planet are badly oppressed). When Scorpius accompanies him on his tour of Moya to make sure he doesn't try anything underhanded, the guard uses the opportunity to loudly voice his relief that Moya is "controlled" by a male Pilot, among other things. And when he discovers that the mechanic he's guarding is actually [[SweetPollyOliver a woman]], he attempts to kill both her and Chiana -- [[VillainousRescue right before Scorpius breaks his neck]].
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': In the episode "Heart of Gold" the Villain of the Week, Rance Burgess, is misogynistic to such an extent that he apparently forces a traitorous prostitute to well... suck him off in front of his lynch mob, in order to prove his superiority over women.

* Given the focus of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'' on "sexually based offenses", it's depressingly common for perps to have sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or racist justifications for their crimes.
** The guy from the episode "Execution" speaks in a similar manner as the ''Criminal Minds'' example above, actually calling his first victim "the thing" once or twice.
** The episode "Fallacy" is ''full'' of people who are unrepentant jerkasses to the transgender SympatheticMurderer (albeit even the detectives themselves veer into NobleBigotWithABadge territory).
** The episode "Hate" centers around a non-Muslim man who rapes Muslim women and men and then sets them on fire, then after being arrested kills another Muslim man while in jail. He has a FreudianExcuse, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse but absolutely nobody in-universe gives a shit]].

** Given that the case in "Raw" centers around an extremist white supremacist group, it's not entirely surprising that pretty much all the bad guys (and anyone associated with them) is this. Although one of the most vocal examples [[spoiler:turns out to be an undercover FBI agent taking on this persona intentionally as part of the operation. After the reveal, she makes a point to apologize to Munch (Jewish) and Fin (African-American) for her comments.]] Brian Ackerman takes the cake though, even going so far to call Olivia “the prerequisite tuna feminist” and “[[UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton Hillary]]”, and expressing to Cragen his shock that "they" still let white men have positions of power "unless, of course, you're a homosexual".
