2) There was also the tavern in V5 that had a "NO FAUNUS" sign.

3) I agree they could have done more to show of faunus racism. But we also spent the first 3 volumes in Vale, which, going by what we heard about the Great War, is supposed to be one of the "good" kingdoms.

4) I sort of wish they had had sth about Lionheart being nothing but a figurehead used by the Council to shut up people complaining about racism while he gets walked all over by them or maybe about him having had to hide his status as a faunus in order to get to his post. 1) Yeah, but that just promotes them from bandits to racist bandits. Like Roman with less swag.

2) Ramen shop. Tavern is more like what we saw in Higanbana. That aside, that little "NO FAUNUS" sign was the first time we saw discrimination that wasn't just told to us without showing anything or carried out by an asshole. We need more of that.

3) Thing is, that "good Kingdom" still had people like Cardin. So it's not like it's free of racist people. They could've done something like before Tukson meets The One and the Other One, he's dealing with a customer and when the customer finds out he's a faunus they leave or say something about the White Fang. It would've been something at least.

4) Would he be any useful as a figurehead if he had to hide he's a faunus?
