Weiss does not think all Faunus are evil nor does she hate all Faunus. I think that needs to be understood here. Her being hesitant about trusting the Faunus is not a matter of ignorance or hatred, but a simple matter of necessity. The White Fang targeting her family and their company means she would be living constantly under tight security, restricted in her movements and always on guard for potential White Fang militants looking to target her for kidnapping or just straight-up assassination. Any Faunus she encounters would have to be considered a potential threat because pretending to be a seemingly harmless Faunus civilian is exactly the sort of way someone in the White Fang would get close enough to hurt her. Maybe she has even personally experienced such a situation.
