A girl was being physically assaulted in a crowded cafeteria, and nobody tried to do anything. I think this may signify that although many people treat Fauni as equals, there are enough who don't that people won't always stand up for them. I think that was the intended message. The Faunii being mishandled without uproar is too commonplace that most of Vytal really doesn't care.

Thinking that, helping a Faunus may be considered as a 'betrayal' to your own race, so in general, though some symphatize, it's hard to act when most would consider you a traitor to humanity.

That provides a small enough reason why Blake would be hiding her ears.

...Thanks to episode 11, I'm beginning to lean to the "Blake is a cat faunus" theory more...
