1) I was saying it being overlooked by OTHER students. Of course Yang, Blake and Weiss would stand up for Ruby, and of course Ren, Pyrrha and Nora would stand up for Jaune. Hell Nora and Pyrrha offered to stand up for him. I'm just saying that people who aren't their friends may let Cardin's behaviour slide because of who they are. (A fifteen year old whom was gifted admittance by Ozpin and a poor fighter who doesn't appear to deserve his place in the academy (and evidently didn't))

2) You have such a naive view of RWBY's world based on your experience in ours. There are key difference including a very real, daily threat to human existence posed by the White Fang. (Imagine if the taliban lived IN the USA and CONSTANTLY terrorised the place?

3) Just because she can handle doesn't mean she wants to. Sure she could deal with Cardin, but its the constant hassle and problems that come to faunus. Bottom line is that she wears the bow because she knows people will discriminate against her. If the world was as socially acceptable of faunus as some people may like to claim then she wouldn't need to. As a side note: She wasn't pressurised, she lost her temper. There's a difference. A small difference, but a difference nonetheless.
