^Still doesn't fix the fact that they haven't shown actual discrimination against the Faunus, much less to an extent that could justify the existence of the White Fang. And CRDL's bullying of Velvet was more, and felt more, like typical bullying than actual racism.

They say the Faunus are discriminated. But they haven't shown it, even though it wouldn't be too hard, at all. It's like if a black mother told her son "that man over there thinks we are animals. It's so unfair", even if the specific man has done nothing, said nothing, or even did anything that could imply that he thinks black people are animals. Esentially, expecting her son to believe her based only on words and 0 evidence.

What they need to do in RWBY, is just what Bioware did with the elves in Dragon Age: SHOW IT. The elves constantly complain about the discrimination against them by the humans. At first, it seems they protest too much. Unless you play the City Elf Origin, and the 1st 10 minutes of the game will show you they are right.

If that doesn't, try to use the "That man is selling elves as slaves to the Tevinterans!". Thing is, no one cares that the elves are being sold, what surprises them is that that man is working with the Tevinterans, which everyone hates. In fact, that's one of the most useless evidences you can use. If that doesn't show that the elves are being treated like shit, I don't know what does.
