They do need to do more to show it because some fans have actually started to think that there is no discrimination/racism toward the Faunus, and that the Faunus are exaggerating, overreacting, and too blind to realize that they're not being discriminated against.

"Hey, the Faunus are discriminated against, and that's why the White Fang exists!"

>Proceeds to show absolutely no discrimination aside from


 * Weiss, who had a very good reason to, considering what the White Fang put her family through, which honestly makes it look like the Faunus brought it on themselves.


 * Cardin, who's an equal opportunity asshole. Jaune was right when he said Cardin's a jerk to everyone. He's been a jerk to Velvet, Jaune, and Pyrrha. One Faunus, two humans. The only thing that he has done that can actually be proven 100% to be discrimination is calling the Faunus animals.


 * Roman, who's a snarky asshole to pretty much everyone.

At least show background characters being dicks to Faunus or something. They said in the directors commentary that Roman's attitude toward Faunus is commonplace, but we have seen no evidence that it is actually common. Expecting us to just take their word for it without showing us that it's true is just bad writing, and it makes things inconsistent.
