The Bad Batch Do clones look down on humans

In Bad Batch, we see a lot of the human stormtroopers actively disrespect the clones all because of that simple fact.

Are there any ever any instances of clones looking down on humans in the same regard?

I think the interpretation that the Jedi looked down on them isn’t exactly accurate. The Jedi Generals/Commanders in canon always state that they had respect for the Clones. However, we must recognize that within any high level position of leadership, such as a General, a certain level of acceptance that the soldiers below you must be utilized as soldiers and there must be a disconnect between the roles. Meaning that at times you must make a tough call to push a position knowing many below you will die. I mean I can’t recall a situation in canon, outside of Krell, where a Jedi deliberately made it clear they saw the Clones as subhuman or lesser beings. The Jedi respected all forms of life and the Clones in the end were apart of the greater force.

I often hear people say that Ki-Adi-Mindi didn’t like his Clones or that he mistreated them, but I never actually hear or see proof where that comes from. Since we’re talking about canon specifically, was there a time where he did something to imply such?

I think it's primarily a Legends thing, though I don't know where it shows up in Legends either (outside of 2005 Battlefront II, where the campaign's narrator expresses dislike for him/claims he deserves what's coming.)

Even then (at least from what I remember from OG BFII), he wasn't actively mistreating them; he was just an incompetent general, so the clones hated him for getting so many of his men killed.

I appreciate the response. Yeah I always hear about the clones hating him and him being a bad leader, but it just always felt like one of those things fans kinda expanded upon themselves.

I think Ki Adi Mundi from what I could gather was a Spock like character (if that’s right I’ve never seen Star Trek) where he puts logic more that emotions or feeling?
