And saying Faunuses sounds rather stupid.

Don't blame the language, blame the word. And the person that made the word. You know, fish and deer are both the same plural and singular so that doesn't really jive. I doubt they considered it racist to do it differently. Saying Faunus rather than Fauni just sounds better.
