Weiss isn't racist, she doesn't hate ALL Faunus, just the ones who are clearly criminals, because in her own narrow little mind, she believes all criminal activity among the Faunus will lead them to the White Fang, which would lead them to attack the SDC and Weiss's family.... If she was racist, she would've hinted at it back in the Jaundice arc when Cardin was bullying Velvet and the professor was giving a lecture on the Faunus War.... So, it's just the criminals she doesn't like, which, in Weiss's own head, makes sense when you look at what she's been through (she didn't just have a lonely childhood, she watched family and board members being murdered, I wouldn't be surprised if she herself was in the middle of a White Fang attack before, maybe even on the train when all of that Dust was stolen, and on top of that, her father pretty much neglected her because he cared more about keeping his company together than about Weiss's well-being.... Can you imagine being a little girl and wondering why everyone hates your family? Why your parents never have any time for you? Why everyone keeps dying? That's some scary stuff right there).

I'm not saying Weiss's pain is worse than Blake's, but I'm saying it shouldn't have just been ignored the way her teammates seemed to just push her aside.... Yeah, Ruby tried to comfort her for like two seconds, but then as soon as Blake ran out the door, it was all, "It's Weiss's fault! It's Weiss's fault!"

I'm not so sure Weiss was trying to get Blake arrested when she said they should've gone to the police, I thought she just meant that maybe the police would be able to track her down, since that's kind of what police are supposed to do when a teenager goes missing.... The thing is, if the police would've located Blake, they probably would've dug up some stuff about her past, and then arrested her for that, which I don't think Weiss was exactly thinking about at the time.... She was probably tired of walking around (12 straight hours of wandering around town, trying to find someone is A LOT of walking, and from what we've seen, Weiss doesn't seem to have that much stamina), and just wanted Blake to be found so they could return to Beacon.... She just wanted to make it easier for the team and for herself, because of course she does, she's Weiss.... I definitely don't think she was trying to get her arrested, though....
