I think we've gotten away from the point. Nothing in this thread even remotely suggests that Humans are superior. The fact of the matter is that there is no evidence to support such an assertion.

-

Yang has yet to face a worthy opponent. Roman would take her down easily. She has decent stamina to fight several lesser enemies back to back, sure, but Junior isn't terribly impressive.

Even if she is the single strongest, what does the single strongest member being human have to do with overall racial superiority, especially when there are 11 times as many Human first-years in the story as there are Faunus?

No evidence here.

-

Saying Ruby could have sniped Roman is irrelevant. If a sniper shot can kill with aura not activated, then a point-blank pistol shot to the back of the head, which Blake had the opportunity to do, would be effective as well. Or she could have sliced his spine like a big kitty cat does.

In any case, weapon choice is hardly related to the species, and thus is not evidence of human superiority.

-

Your point about species vs. race is again irrelevant. Either way, 'Man' is clearly referencing both both Faunus and Humans.

-

Blake seems to know her stuff just fine from what we've seen of the classes. Whatever the reason, She obviously is doing just fine somehow. Ruby and Weiss studying is no indication of intelligence.

Further, Blake's personal emotions have nothing to do with Faunus as a whole. As a parallel, Weiss is pretty clearly messed up due to her life's experience, but I would not count that against Humans as a whole.
