First guy again, I don't think Cardin is antagonizing Juane because of a race thing. He is named after Winford Beuford, the Bishop of Winchester and a Cardinal, who presided over the trial of Joan of Arc prior to her execution. Since Juane is based on her, Carden may have been deliberatly created to antagonize him, although why is another matter.

It could be that the majority of RWBY and JNPR never really experienced bullying, so it doesn't hit that close to home, and they may not know what sort of effect that bullying can have on people. Also, their mindset may be more focused on monster slaying rather than standing up for others (at least for Nora). Or it could be that all of them know when the right time to fight is, as Ruby was taught by a Sniper Scythe master. Otherwise, at worse, they'd be bigger jerks than Carden.

Let's just wait until the end of the week, and see what happens.
