The academies are not a good representation of the status the Faunus have in society. When you are looking at the United States in the mid-20th Century the attitudes and laws about the black population varied from place to place. Some areas were rather tolerant and other areas were abusive and discriminatory. Here we are talking about academies that are meant to be above all the petty political and sociological divides among the Kingdoms. It is quite possible that even the highest authorities in the Kingdoms or most of them are tolerant of the Faunus. None of that precludes serious racism and discrimination even if it isn't readily apparent.
