Asians are depicted with slanted eyes. Jewish people and even white people if you got to Japan are depicted with long noses. You'd think if Faunus were indeed an oppressed group even in modern Remnant something about their appearance would be exagerrated, like maybe they'd be drawn with more than one trait or something like that. True, though I found it interesting that whoever made the poster chose to go out of their way to depict the worker as a Faunus. It may not be a malicious depiction, but it made me wonder about the ratio of Faunus-to-Human workers in dangerous jobs involving volatile Dust, like the in-universe artist of the poster expected most of the workers to be Faunus. They could have easily left the poster ambiguous, since we only see the charicature from the shoulders up and he is wearing a hard hat that would ordinarily cover any Faunus traits on his head. Instead, they drew dog ears poking out of the hard hat.
