Sun: He is similar to Blake because he too is a faunas and has likely dealt with discrimination in his life. The difference is that Sun is comfortable with himself while Blake hides herself. Sun seemed kind of surprised when Blake told him the history of the White Fang, and he didn't seem to understand why the White Fang is the way it is and probably didn't understand why so many Faunus feel like they need the White Fang.

I like to headcanon that Sun has faced a lot less discrimination than most other Faunus and that he tends to be oblivious to some discrimination. In my headcanon, he's like that because he grew up in Vacuo. I think it's possible that the people in Vacuo treat Faunus a lot better than people in the other three kingdoms treat them. After all, Tukson was going to flee to Vacuo. When Sun moved to Mistral to attend Haven, I like to think that he didn't notice the discrimination under all the "Look at the weird desert kid! Put on a shirt, yah weirdo!" Once he got his team, his teammates had his back and kept an eye out for any racists.

If I'm right, then Sun would be a great piece for the writers to show us the discrimination that Faunus face because it would be his first time facing serious discrimination.
