There have only been 3 instances of "Faunus Discrimination" in the show. 2 of which fail as examples of it.

1) Cardin, both bullying Velvet and then comparing Faunus to animals in class. Problem is, he's an equal-oportunity bully; like Jaune said, he's a jerk to everyone, he didn't bully Velvet because she's a Faunus, be bullied Velvet because he's a bully.

Even then, he spent most of his screentime bullying Jaune, a human. And since no one at all outside his team even found him funny, it's made clear he's the exception, not the rule.

2) Roman, and by Roman I mean the way he treats the WF mooks, not to mention calling a Deer Faunus "Deery".

Thing is, Roman is a jerkass, a sadist, and a wanted criminal. Being racist on top of it is no surprise at all, and this "despicable human being" being racist fails to even imply that the majority of humans are.

3) V5E6. The only good example, but a subtle one. The Ramen chef had a note outside his door, on the wall, that said "No Faunus Allowed". Nothing the chef does or says even implies he's racist, it's not until you notice that note that you realize he discriminates Faunus.

That's the way to do it; after all, being racist doesn't mean you're a complete and utter asshole and/or criminal.

But overall, nothing says the Faunus Discrimination is even half as big as Blake or Adam make it sound, and at points one feels it's practically a paranoid fabrication that was indoctrinated into them.
