How could robots ever be accepted into human society?

Chappie, Johnny 5 and (the more famous) Overwatch all feature robots that are truly and completely artificially intelligent. Each of these series has people react to them in a different way; In Chappie, they try to kill him; In Johnny 5, he somehow is accepted; In Overwatch, well... We have yet to see.

It is a common aspect of science fiction that robots live with humans; it seems increasingly common to just handwave this fact, saying there is no reason why humans wouldn't accept robots, since we use so many already; but I find this argument to be, at best, flat and easily debated.

If humans started building sapient humanoid robots with emotions and thoughts, could they ever hope to be accepted as equals by the majority of humans? What would they have to do to be accepted by humans?
