I don't get how the bow makes her look particularly Faunus-like. It is a normal accessory for someone to wear, I'm sure plenty of humans wear bows that look very similar. At least it hides the fact that she's a Faunus.

People aren't going to go up to her and say "Hey, your bow is weird! Are you hiding something?"

There is no evidence to confirm anyone other than RWBY and JNPR as being nice to Faunus. While I don't doubt that plenty of people treat them well, there's also the likelihood that there are a lot of people who are terrible to them.

Especially since they are still having to protest for their civil rights. During the African-American civil rights movement, there were plenty of people (perhaps even a majority) who treated them as equals. That didn't stop mistreatment by others. Even as early as when slavery existed, there were people who knew it was wrong and did what they could to help.
