1. The implication that the only Faunus who work for him are miners

2. His treatment of Weiss. From forcing her to fight a murder Grimm robot just for the right to go to the school of her choice 1. He needs brawns to even get the matter that his very company depends on, and not just to mine Dust but also to survive anything more easily.

Brains can be found anywhere regardless of race, but Faunus are the superior race physically, if we're talking about averages.

2. As a Huntress, she would've eventually fought far worse things. At least in Atlas he can keep an eye on her, and talk with Ironwood to make things less difficult for her.

If she goes to Beacon, he can't keep watch over her or help her much (regardless of whether she wants the help or not) beyond giving her money.

If she wanted to go to another Kingdom in another Continent to be a Huntress, she had to prove she was tough enough for that. Besides, he wouldn't have let it kill her, she was still the Heiress at the time and if she died so suddenly it would've only been troublesome. 1. But Faunus are no good for any of the other positions? Faunus don't have brains too and can't be hired for positions other than just miner? Surely not all Faunus have brawns? What about Faunus who do have the brains to qualify for the other positions?

2. In the manga, Weiss points out that she's basically being told she has no chance of winning. That may not be "I want you to be able to handle anything, so you need to prove to me that you can fight", it could be "If I just outright say no, that makes me look like a dick, so I'm just gonna make a bet that I'm sure you'll lose."
