It could be interesting if it was Blake. Blake, who has spent all her life fighting (literally) for Faunus equality won't even consider Penny as people until someone calls her out on her attitude - Weiss, specifically.

Maybe a certain white-haired heiress had closer relationships with her family's robo-servants than she did with most humans so treating Penny like people (or at least with the same arrogance and assumed superiority that she treats humans). To her, it's the mind that matters, not whether it was made rather than born. She calls Blake out on her absolute hypocracy and it brings the two closer together because Blake is able to reciprocate about Weiss's attitude to Faunus.

Naturally, both their egos are bruised but as they've both laid a few blows themselves, they can handle it and find a compromise without having to save pride.
