I'm not exactly sure how you want her to respond in that situation. Yell back? Fight?Racial discrimination is common; she probably faced the same treatment for as long as she stayed at Vale. How many people in your life have you seen would 'fight back' when it's better to just stay silent, endure, and move on? Not even Team RWBY or JNPR stood up to help her, instead opting to just stand by and watch the show unfold and end.

Plainly speaking, it's not even worth arguing; at best she'll get Team CDRL a detention and make new enemies out of them, at worst she'll make herself an easy target to pick on and even draw attention from other discriminatory students. Even Blake knows that it's best to avoid unnecessary attention and trouble, however 'proud' you are with your heritage.

As for 'hiding' her ears, it can easily just be an act to ease the pain, or just an instinctual reaction (like Blake's ears) that shows her emotions when she's down. And of course she'll feel down, who wouldn't in that kind of situation.

Point: None of your speculations are conclusive. I've had enough watching squeaking Velvet in FF.Net that I often avoid them altogether. Velvet does not even sound timid, and people are making a coward out of her already just because she's what, a rabbit Faunu? Even the viewers are discriminatory - catnip jokes and laser pointers sounds hilarious, but imagine that kind of shit happening to you in real life. Not funny.
