It just seems silly to say that someone would actually confuse adorable little Velvet with an Ursa. It only really works if the people spreading the idea knew it was a lie and were trying to degrade Faunus - which still doesn't explain why they're doing it, it just tells us their goals. Depends on whether the Faunus were known prior to the appearance of the Grimm or after the appearance of the Grimm. If they were known prior my thought would be that perhaps the Grimm just did not explicitly target the Faunus as they targeted humans and this led to a belief the Faunus were somehow in league with the Grimm. Were they known after then them being perceived to be some sort of more intelligent or humanoid Grimm is another potential explanation.
