Considering the White Fang base is in Mistral, you'd think he'd have been subjected to some of their 'racism' in the time he lived in Mistral. But apparently he hasn't, and despite living in the kingdom the White Fang was based out of he still didn't see the point of their methods.

It really doesn't say 'Faunus are actually discriminated against' to me when even the kingdom they're based in doesn't show it enough to give the guy who grew up in Vacuo a shock when he got there, and nothing has happened to change his mind about the White Fang before he met Blake. If he only moved to Mistral to go to Haven then he has maybe been there a year. Really, with the Vytal Festival, he would only have been there half a year. Given much of that time would be spent on campus there really weren't a lot of opportunities for him to encounter hostility. That said, given his delinquent ways he may not even realize when people are being racist on account of just assuming they are judging him for his delinquent ways.

Sun didn't move to Mistral he was born in Mistral, but then his parents moved to Vacuo. Keywords to remember here is "Mistral to Vacuo." Remember Vacuo is a lawless pirate city. Think Roanapur from "Black Lagoon," it's literaly a town made up of theives and outlaws. In counter Mistral, by far, is supposed to be the most stable kingdom in Remnant. With massive borders, an emphasis on the arts and natural beauty. The fact that his parents chose to move from a safe, and stable kingdom like Mistral to instead live in a city of outlaws sugests the racisim there is so bad that theives and bandits seemed preferable in comparison. Expecially considering that Vacuo's one rule is "If you can survive here, you're welcome here." Not really the kindof frase that breeds racism.
