No matter what some Faunus have done to her family, she's honestly being a downright racist bitch this last episode. All her comments have really been about the White Fang. The one comment she made about someone else was a guy obviously disposed to criminal acts and I do wonder if he also has some connection to the White Fang. It would explain his reaction to her better than him just being able to tell that she is a Faunus and it would explain her reaction to him.

Whether her family are completely moral is not really the point. Weiss is most definitely an innocent whose first experience of actual battle was likely during the intiation. Even though her experiences with the Faunus have been undeniably bad, she only says horrible things about the White Fang and merely expresses unease about the Faunus generally. That is because she is fundamentally a nice person and is not going to assume the worst of any person based solely on outward characteristics.

I firmly believe Blake being a Faunus would not have been a big deal for Weiss, especially not after they spent months at school together as part of the same team.
