And they haven't made any efforts to remind us that, as Blake said in Black and White, the "equality" that Faunus are currently receiving is wholly out of fear of punishment from the White Fang, rather than respect for the Faunus. They're not receiving equal treatment because "the discrimination is over". They're receiving equal treatment because treating Faunus badly has consequences from a radical organization that is so dedicated to their cause that they go on missions to hijack trains just to sabotage the Schnee Dust Company for its Faunus labor practices.

And then, in World of Remnant: Faunus, Qrow says that the quality of treatment that Faunus receive varies from place to place.

 * Had Weiss stay in the Schnee manor the whole time


 * Had Yang stay at home pretty much the whole time


 * Had RNJR, an all-Human group, traveling Anima, with the only notable appearance of a Faunus being the blacksmith in the first episode
