2-Maybe Emerald will too, judging from her look on her face when people were being killed by Grimm.

3-As for Faunus problems, they're not going to show that. It would darken the show and shine even more of a light on them in relation to real life problems. I don't think they have the guts to get really dark.

4-To me, Faunus suffer like us Black people or Latinos. And that's gonna depress people and be consider too political. 1-....Well, Cinder was the one who practically got her out of the streets, gave her a job, a home(?).........I think Emerald's loyalty comes from that fact, and it simply beats the negatives of the relationship.

2-You know, that look and what she said can also be seen as condescence.

3-Did you even watch Volume 3? And regardless of what kind of show they want to make, they must show Faunus problems. They cannot just speak about them but refuse to show the actual discrimination that led to the rise of a terrorist group. It's simply bad writing, and puts into question the validity of such claims of discrimination.

4-"Suffer like us Black people or Latinos"........you mean, everyone says they suffer but they actually didn't? Because that's how it seems to be the case with the Faunus so far.

The political resemblance is already there. That's not going to depress people, and it's not going to be necesarily "too political". If anything, it'd make the audience feel more sympathetic towards them, because they identify with them, sympathize with their dilemma, because "they suffer like us black people and latinos".
