Well, humans and Faunus do both have their own races (black, white; monkey, cat, horse, bull, rabbit) so it wouldn't cover much. When she said species, she could have easily meant subspecies, but nobody would say subspecies just because they mean subspecies. Mutants and meta-humans in the comics universe have never been openly referred to as a subspecies even though that's precisely what they are. And no, I don't recall anyone referring to them as a "species" at any rate either, but that's because they have the alternative of saying said people are discriminated against due to their "powers". This isn't an option in Remnant since it seems everyone has access to Aura and Semblance. What else was Blake supposed to say, "based on his characteristics"?
