But also I imagine we're in a time where it's not socially acceptable to be racist, and people are sorta getting over it, but it's not all gone yet. It's possible there's a lot more racism going on in Atlas, we just haven't been there yet. The fact that they said Roman's racist attitude is actually pretty common kinda leads me to find it hard to imagine that.

I think the only thing that restricts humans from showing full-on racial hate is the fact that the White Fang has become violent, which is why I included the bit near the end about the effects that the White Fang's actions have on the kingdom.

Like maybe show a shop owner who's pretty annoyed to be serving a faunus like Sun or Velvet because if they don't serve faunus, the White Fang will burn the shop down. To emphasize that their problem is the presence of faunus in their store rather than just a grumpy attitude, they could show the same shop owner being very polite toward human customers and even to Blake, who they'll think is human.
