Parts of Harry Potter are the classic example, right? I’m not going to say there’s no evidence of Rowling’s libtardism, because there definitely is, but you have a universally-armed society, and government incompetence, corruption, and/or overreach is an important plot element in five of the eight movies.
Also, this one is more of a funny minor bit, but in Goblet of Fire when Harry and Ron have blown their chances to get dates to the ball, the two leftover girls that were still available were the Indian sisters.
ALso importance of family. And concept that official goverment can be wrong and "conspiracy theorists" right - when Harry tells that Voldemort came back but Ministry denies it and pretends he is crazy.
Daily Prophet runs a continuous smear campaign against Harry so he publishes his story in the wizard equivalent of Infowars and Alex Jones.
Then becomes hunted by, and takes down, a corrupt deep state that is trying it's best to disarm the Hogwarts students by nerfing their Defense against the dark arts lessons.
That one is hard to classify because you can spin it a few ways. You could say that it's "based" because Draco and the other Slytherins represent arrogant "elites" looking down on the lower class Weasleys. Or you could say it's an example of her libtard bias because she made the rich people comically evil and the poor underclass people noble and good. And, of course, anything touching on Slytherin in general has to acknowledge that a large part of the framing for the whole conflict is a cartoonishly simple anti-racism message. Remember, the Malfoys hate the Weasleys because they don't like their sympathetic attitudes towards muggles.
(You could also say that what's going on with the bullying is not really any of those things, and it's more of a satire of or reference to some British private school dynamic I'm not culturally equipped to fully understand).
Gingers are traditionally bullied ruthlessly in UK schools. They have been for more than a hundred years.
Being a ginger is a very visible sign of having Irish ancestry. There are a bunch of cultural reasons that the Irish were loud, stupid, prideful, drunks. They were always poor, always Catholic (strongly Papist) in a country where Papist plots had tried to assassinate fucking everyone important, thousands of times.
The Irish Papists were trying to blow up the common people of London in the Troubles, which didn't really end until after the World Trade Center and the New York "Irish" stopped funding their terrorist bullshit.
Private School Houses are a thing. "Old School" ties and loyalty to the fellow alumni of the "Old School" is a class marker of the upper class. Something like more than half of UK Prime Ministers were graduates from Eaton boys school.
The Weasleys are stand ins for poor Irish Catholics, and they are poor because the dad works and the mother stays home and looks after their huge family.
More traditionally, Irish drink and gamble and beat their wives, then go to Church on Sunday to worship the Pope and be sorry for what they have done.

Also (magical) ethnic separation
The Ginger Weasleys are openly discriminated against by everyone, to the point they are attacked.
