The people shooting at Ghira and co. in Adam's short is the most discrimination we've seen, and even then the way the scene is presented, they feel more like bandits than simple normies who don't want faunus to pass through a random road in the middle of nowhere. The people shooting at Ghira are very explicitly shooting at him because he is a faunus, though:

Supremacist 1: Well you animals passed through the wrong town!

There was also the tavern in V5 that had a "NO FAUNUS" sign... I don't think that SYUTK's arguing that particular point, but rather that since it happens so far from civilization, it comes off more like a bandit attack and less like a "Green Book" or "Frankenstein" situation.

Racism IRL is easier to pinpoint as such when you have "civilized" folk who did it... but the rabble that encountered them gave off no such civil legitimacy.
