Those things kinda just happen. Someone expects someone else to act up, but nobody does, so then everyone ends up not doing anything. Ruby could be hesitant to act since she might still be self-conscious about her younger age and thus what everyone else thinks of her. Weiss might just be used to this stuff happening, or she's completely unfamiliar with it so she doesn't want to meddle. Blake, if she's a Faunus, doesn't want to reveal that she's a Faunus due to all the bullying she's already received, so she just sits there and sympathizes. Perhaps Yang and the rest of Team JNPR are the same as Weiss; uncomfortable with the situation but not sure how to act.

There's also the possibility that these kinds of actions are so commonplace that it may even be a stigma to support or help Faunus, sort of like "the only people as hated as X are people that support X".
