RWBY has been rather poor in showing the "discrimination" that drove the White Fang violent. The White Fang are supposed to be sympathetic in that they tried hard to peacefully gain social equality, and radicalizing when it didn't work. The White Fang is Blake's backstory. But do we see this abuse? Do we see anything that indicates that, yes life his hard for Faunus because Humans often act like dicks to them? Do we see the symptoms of systematic social degradation? Of course they talk about it, give expositions on how the Faunus were seriously discriminated against historically and fought for their rights, even give a backstory of a specific instance of Human callousness towards the Faunus, but do we get a keen sense that life is crappy and unfair and that society treats them like crap?

This is not only about Adam. This is about the hundreds of White Fang soldiers and probably thousands upon thousands of supporters! What drives these people to believe that violence and killing is the only solution? What drove Blake to believe that violence was the only solution? They talk and talk, but all we ever hear is talk. They never show, never give examples that have strong emotional impact, never make the White Fang any different from the motiveless generic terrorist groups in action movies that exist purely for the protagonists to flex their muscles.
