User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Faunus... inferior or superior?/@comment-3146930-20140420025118

I think it may be a matter of numbers and civilization. This is just an idea, but it is possible that the Faunus started out in the area where humans tried to isolate them during the war. Anyway, when they were discovered, humans were much more advanced and saw them as a primitive species with fewer numbers. Humans eventually helped educate the Faunus and they were brought up to a more advanced level of technology, eventually matching the surrounding nations and being allowed to live there. However there numbers started to grow too great and humans feared an uprising or a take-over of some kind, so they tried to isolate them, leading to the war, the creation of the White Fang, the the discrimination toward the Faunus.
