The people shooting at Ghira and co. in Adam's short is the most discrimination we've seen, and even then the way the scene is presented, they feel more like bandits than simple normies who don't want faunus to pass through a random road in the middle of nowhere. The people shooting at Ghira are very explicitly shooting at him because he is a faunus, though:

Supremacist 1: Well you animals passed through the wrong town!

There was also the tavern in V5 that had a "NO FAUNUS" sign.

I agree they could have done more to show of faunus racism. But we also spent the first 3 volumes in Vale, which, going by what we heard about the Great War, is supposed to be one of the "good" kingdoms.

Mistral, specially because of its history with Mantle/Atlas, was a wasted opportunity there, though. Outside of that tavern (which, to be fair, implies a thing or two about Mistralian law), we really didn't get anything on faunus discrimination.

I sort of wish they had had sth about Lionheart being nothing but a figurehead used by the Council to shut up people complaining about racism while he gets walked all over by them or maybe about him having had to hide his status as a faunus in order to get to his post.
