When Blake described the actions of the Violent White Fang to Sun during "Black and White" she made it sound like each attack was meant to set a point across: they set fire to shops that refused to serve faunus, hijacked cargo from companies that used faunus labour...

Now, Mountain Glen is described by Oobleck as Vale's first serious attempt of expansion. Also, he refereed to the population of Mountain Glen as "working people" and said they were the ones to develop the subway system and cleared the caves for it. It also sounded as if they were on their own when it came to their attempt to build the underground village.

Thinking of Mountain Glen as akin to a colony in our world, when countries in our world colonise, who are ones sent to settle down and start working and expanding? Not citizens from the upper classes.

Going to a more recent example from history of our world, when Argentina was looking to expand its economy at the beginning of the 20th century, it received immigrants quite openly. These immigrants were mostly lower class Europeans running away from the chaos that was Europe previous to WW 1 or from the post-war (aka my great-grandparents). And where did they go? The government gave them lands in the most inhospitable parts of the country that were far away form the city for them to stablish farms and do heavy work (building railways, etc) that educated, middle class citizens were surely not going to do.

Now, who have been established to be, generally, at the lower class in Remnant? What if Mountain Glen has largely a faunus population?
