I don't get the impression that he was saying the best part about Blake herself is that she's a Faunus. I think he was saying that the best part about his story is that Blake is a Faunus. Maybe he hasn't had many Faunus friends and he's excited to finally meet someone who's like him. That would actually explain why in the hell he has so little knowledge about the White Fang and Menagerie that he had to have Blake tell him about all of it. There's actually also a theory that Sun is a half-Faunus who grew up with only his Human parent around, which would also provide a reason he has so little knowledge about Faunus history.

And if you think it's just the writers using him as a way to tell the audience stuff, remember that they used Jaune for the same thing and there was an actual in-universe explanation for that, with the reveal that Jaune didn't go to combat school and didn't know about any of that stuff. And while I do ship Black Sun, I fully believe that it's entirely possible that Yang has feelings for Blake, who may or may not have realized it yet.

I know that Sun is trying way too hard and has made mistakes, but I think that, if he can learn from his mistakes and improve himself, it could work out. Blake has proven that she also needs to improve herself, and she has finally (hopefully) improved herself in volume 4 by finally deciding to stop running and start fighting, as well as learning that isolating herself is not a good course of action because it hurts the people she cares about.
