I believe her team doesn't mind her faunus heritage at all, sure there might have been something in the past, but I think what Velvet could do in battle resolved all that. And as for why they didn't come to her aid when Cardin was bullying her, maybe (this is just my guess though) they weren't aware of it because Velvet didn't tell them about it, and when she put her hand up in Oobleck's class did they realise something must have happened at lunch time and learned Cardin was the culprit. And sure, Blades might do something to CRDL, causing them to act polite to Velvet in fear of her Two Blade-Fisted Battle Fiend teammate.
