1. Every single cat joke being directed at Blake, who is notably indignant but still plays into the stereotype at times.

2. Ren pulling Sun's tail, though this was more of a "you aren't special" thing.

3. "Move it monkey boy! Go go go!" With Sun looking pissed off at Nora for that.

4. "Well, my work here is done." "But, you didn't really do anything?" "Didn't I, rabbit girl...didn't I?" "My name's Velvet." "Heh. I don't care." Velvet just looks done with him. I think you're looking for rascism in places it isn't there.

1. Most of the jokes are made to be behaviors she herself is exhibiting, so it doesn't really seem like it fits. The few times it is outright accused, they play with it, first with the "Cat Burgler" where she calls them out but then shows she really was the thief, then when Yang was getting her a gift the first time, the gift being Yarn, which she doesn't play with. And during her play, Blake questions why the hell she is the wolf, and while Ruby does give the "Because you're part animal, this part was made for you!" not much attention is drawn to that as is the idea that Zwei should have been the Wolf. Seeing as those are the only cat jokes I can find where she herself doesn't exhibit the behavior, doesn't seem to justify the idea of rascism or being indignant at every joke. If anything, the writers would be rascist for making her act like a stereotypical cat. (And for those who can't tell I'm joking about the writers, I'll say it outright, I'm joking about the writers being cat rascist.)

2. Yeah, that was more just keeping him from leaving.

3. Seemed more like he was pissed that he just saved her and she told him to go away, making her come off as ungrateful.

4. This seems more just Qrow not knowing her name and not bothering to care when told. Doesn't help he tends to not really know anyones name nor show any desire to use them if he does so in the main series.
