If you mean the argument Blake and Weiss had at the end of v1, it's not like neither Yang or Ruby were allowed much commentary. Yang tried to intervene in favour if the faunus and she was ignored, when Ruby tried to give Weiss consolation, she was rejected. If Raven were a Faunus and thus Qrow were a Faunus, then I am pretty sure Yang would have realized she is half Faunus and not been all "It must be tough to be a Faunus" when she saw Velvet.

I will partially agree with @Natedog above me.

It is possible Yang is pulling pulling a Blake because faunus-human relationships are socially looked down on. (it would also give Raven a motivation to walk out of Yang's life when she was born looking fully human). Though I also don't feel hiding her heritage fits Yang's personality, neither Qrow sticking around and getting himself to be called uncle.

So I lean more for option 2: since she isn't visibly a faunus, she was raised by human parents, has human blood, in practise doesn't have to face the discrimination faunus face, she doesn't identify as a faunus/belonging in faunus groups.
