-Weeeell, we got Emerald, our first actually-black character, and she turns out to not only be one of the villains, but also apparently be a "street rat". Not saying RT/Monty is racist, but there are things that can be taken the wrong way by idiotic kids that think too much about too little. And yes, people have actually pointed that out.

-Gender-wise, of all the men shown in the show, only 2 are shown to be as good as the women generally speaking: Roman and Ozpin. Jaune is a moron and suicidal noob, Ren lacks stamina, Ironwood thinks everything is a contest of D-measuring, Adam seems pretty morally asympathetic (yes, blow up a train probably containing members of the same race you're fighting for, you'll be a hero), we don't know about Mercury nor Qrow yet, Sun lacks etiquette and his combat skills were buried in the ground for an entire fucking volume, Neptune was useless in combat and his only existence was to give a cheap, unnecesary minor plot to Jaune (again), Junior and his mooks are barely stronger than Beowulfs.

Roman has shown, if only through the Worf Effect, that he can go toe-to-toe with even 2 characters at the same time in normal situations, and has the smarts and likable personality. Ozpin seems like the "Chessmaster" kind of character, cares about his students, and is implied to be pretty strong at the least, and not just by Hunter standards.

In comparison, the girls are superior. Ruby is a child Hunter prodigy if somewhat dumb, Weiss is the heiress to a multi-national billionarie corporation, Blake is extremely skilled in that weird 3-in-1 weapon of hers and was part of a terrorist group, Cinder is sexy and a powerful witch, Glynda is a fucking jedi master, Neo totally owned a protagonist without flinching or even being hit, just look at Raven, and Pyrrha is The Ace and fucking Magneto. I would say something about Yang, Nora or Emerald but we have barely seen them so I don't count them yet.

-There's supposed to be discrimination against the Faunus. However, we have spent more than 2 fucking years and we still haven't seen any. Really, they feel more like they got what they wanted, equality, and still want more. The WF is like RWBY's version of Nazi Feminism, with Blake having been the Only Sane Woman there.

Just saying.
