Native Americans - at the time slavery was still the norm - were denied being humans even. The problem has less prominence as by the time human rights issues became a factor in the 20th century, the Native Americans weren't a significant 'problem' in society anymore. The few survivors mainly lived confined in ghettos, *ahem* reservations, and not like the African Americans right there among or next to the ruling race.

And while all the legislation regarding 'non-whites' mainly affected, and mainly targeted, the African Americans, all other races as American Natives and Asians, were as much denied basic human rights. That's sort of what I was attempting to get at. My wording was not the greatest. What I'm saying is that the Faunus at present resemble more the African Americans in the time of the civil rights movement. So they've gotten the worst of both stories, the displacement (not that Africans weren't displaced, just in a different way) at the beginning, then the racism at the end.
