Supernatural Earth
For the most part, humans and supernaturals live cooperatively in peace. Though there are still many conflicts around the world with power imbalances, dehumanization, and inhumane practices for supernaturals in each corner of the world.Despite how weak humans are to the majority, they are known as the first to quickly progress and industrialize a society, being the spark that ignited the flame of progression. Because of this, many countries are ran by humans, and runs as if supernaturals are foreign despite being together since the beginning.

Though slavery is across the world, humans enslaving others are most commonly known in society, whether it be themselves or other supernaturals. Predominantly, it was demihuman slaves, as more "mythical" supernaturals were more prone to retaliation. After many civil wars, revolutionaries, and movements, slavery is illegal in the majority of countries in the world...though the majority is not all, and many supernaturals find themselves under the same boat decades ago.

Interspecies marriages ranges from completely accepted to flat out illegal in many countries. With words like "beastility" thrown around for humans (even if with a demihuman) and powerism for supernaturals, many interspecies relationships often face many prejudiced attacks, verbally, physically, and/or systematically. However, strides has been made, and there many movements to support interspecies marriages/relationships, as those in them face prejudices.
With many supernaturals having abilities akin to "superhero powers," a hero industry was born, where many supernaturals use their powers for law enforcement. Equally, there are villains who use their abilities selfishly, and mostly supernaturals are ordered to deal with other supernaturals.Though many heroes are supernatural, magic is acknowledged and practiced, allowing humans to also become heros via witchery/wizardry.
Many decades ago for mainly supernatural cultures, raw power meant more respect. Though humans can be seen as the main progressives and runners of society and the world, they're at the bottom of the "power chain" along with animals. In modern times, mostly outside of western cultures, more raw power makes you more respected, and acknowledged as a valued person.*Were-animals and Demihumans are only different by were-animals having the ability to transform into the animal they are, while demihumans can not.

Public schools are required to be inclusive of both humans and supernaturals, but there are private schools that exist that segregate between species (even down to races of supernaturals). Though being mandated, many schools, like the DUNY (Draconic University of New York) strive to show the power collaboration has; to help against powerism and fight for equality for all living beings.
