| rdfs:comment | - Stereotypical smart mouth, racist, big city cop -- but with a Sympathetic POV, which makes all the difference. Almost always written as a noble, misunderstood "good guy" (or girl). This could give the impression that the writer(s) are downplaying bigotry--or, in a passive aggressive way, justifying bigotry in certain situations - to the point of making "loyalty" to "your own group" a virtue, thus making lack of bigotry come across as Category Traitor. Subtrope of--obviously--Noble Bigot. Usually a Politically Incorrect Hero. Examples of Noble Bigot with a Badge include:

Sometimes this guy is shown as honestly mistaken and will moderate his bigoted views over time. This will often involve him coming into close contact with the group that he hates, possibly even being partnered with one of them. The "noble" part frequently takes the form of not allowing his prejudices to interfere with police work -- you won't see him charge a black guy with a crime he knows he didn't do. Is almost always white, but can also be of color. The ethnic version exist for the character to critique their own gender or race without the writers worrying about being called racist. Kinda like a inversion of N-Word Privileges by proxy. Subtrope of--obviously--Noble Bigot. Usually a Politically Incorrect Hero. Examples of Noble Bigot with a Badge include:
