If she has no obvious faunus traits she would still have other elements like night vision; there's no way she could be half-faunus and not know unless she has no traits at all, which would make the whole think pointless.

That line would take an interesting twist, as she would also sad because she feels guilty about never having to deal with discrimination herself. That's not the only time Yang speaks about faunus, in V1Ep15, she replies to Weiss claims against them (though she is ignored and overshadowed by the argument with Blake):

Weiss: "That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." (to Blake's growing anger) "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal."

Yang: "That's not necessarily true..."
