I assume Tumblr's claims of racism are pretty much "They introduced an Indian woman and then immediately killed her! We are so sick of POC characters being introduced only to die soon after! POC character deaths are disproportionate to white character deaths!"

But um... they introduced a white man and instantly killed him in the same episode, too. *CoughTuksonCough*

At least Sienna was an actually significant character who was a leader, and she wasn't some horrible, immoral, possibly uneducated sex object. She had morals and standards, and her goal was to bring equality and safety to her people.

I'm guessing CRWBY made Sienna look the way she did because of her character allusion.

As for the manspreading, well... Adam's a douche, what can yah say? On a more serious note, it's only really manspreading if he's sitting in a spot where having his legs wide open invades other people's personal space and makes it hard for them to sit nearby. Y'know, like those guys who will sit down in a subway and damn near do the splits without a care for anyone else who might want to sit down. Really, Adam was just relaxing in the throne.

And I wonder why Cinder hates the bandits so much, could it be she was once one of them before being kicked out of the tribe? How else could she know so much about "thieves and liars," as she said to Emerald when they first met, unless she grew up with them. So Cinder might've been a Branwen before seeking Salem out, so she might be eager to take out Raven if she has an old grudge against her. Can't wait for the next episode. I wouldn't say she was one of the Branwens, and she might not have been a bandit it all, but she could have grown up in an area of Mistral with high crime and black markets.

Qrow has a problem with bandits despite once being one because he has decided that his morals are against doing the things that bandits do. Cinder, meanwhile... clearly has no moral objection to mass murder, which is something bandits do.
