Adam isn't stupid... so you kill a few half breeds... and lose an entire pool of useful recruits to your cause, as well as any empathy they might have, or as he has been doing, you focus on target rich environments such as the more human dominated societies.... the only reason Atlas is different is because they likely go more hardcore on their terrorists, so any sort of attack there results in a loss of all associated forces. I wasn't trying to imply they would kill all half-breeds, just the one. As mentioned before in this thread, it is possible that half-breeds are virtually incapable of being differentiated from normal Faunus. With Vacuo's more open ideas in regards to Faunus, one of the aformentioned indicators, a mixed race couple, would be a tell-tale sign. Once their message is heard the faunus parents would, in their eyes, abandon their human spouses, take their children with them, and join the WF, or risk dying. Or if you'd rather, they wouldn't kill the half-breed, just the parents, then proceed to indoctrinate the half-breed to their cause. And while Adam isn't "Stupid", he has shown some more irrational decisions, specifically in regards to Blake. Even discounting Blake, if the claims of him trying to overthrow Sienna Khan are true, its abit presumptous to think the WF will follow him after overthrowing their current leader, as their more than likely will be some Khan supporters that disagree. Yes, Salem is ordering the WF around know and Adam is doing this since Sienna Khan appearently won't, but it still has holes in his plans. Unless he can make it look like Sienna Khan was assainated by someone not named "Adam Taurus", the coup d'etat could cause a schism in the WF.

In regards to the attacking the Human Populated areas though, that is a bit harder to argue, but I do offer the Fall of Beacon. Numerous Humans as well as Faunus were in attendance, but were all attacked. And when Blake was helping Weiss, the WF members attacked her. Assuming they weren't all new recruits and that some of them were with Adam during the Train Heist, they would have recognised Blake, a fellow Faunus, and considered her a traitor. The Newbies of course wouldn't know who she is, but even with the bow the older ones would, as she was wearing it during the heist. This combined with the Fall of Beacon gives me the impression that the White Fang does not care for Faunus causulties if the Faunus in question were living peacefully with humans. Several of the Vytal Festival teams had Faunus, but they also had more humans, so it would stand to reason they don't neccessarily care for those Faunus.
