The thing I have a problem with in that post on RWBY Amiibo is their idea of Vacuo - they seem to think that the White Fang would have a handhold in Vacuo enough to kill a human-loving Faunus and drive the remaining family to move Kingdoms. But Vacuo has been stated to not give a shit about what race you are so long as you can survive, so the White Fang doesn't really have any ground to stand on there, which means such a scenario wouldn't happen.

2- Yes, a White Fang member may kill his Faunus parent for loving a human, but the remaining family wouldn't be driven to moving kingdoms because of this; if anything the White Fang would be the ones driven out for starting such crap in the Kingdom's walls when everyone just cares about strength and survivability. I'm probably completely wrong in this idea, but....

1-  While Vacuo may be more indifferent to race so long as you can survive, the mere fact that humans and Fanus are seemingly able to coexist in peace would probably piss them off enough to form a foothold. If Adam's philosphy in peace between the two "Is impossible" and that the White Fang will "set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves..." is widespread among the WF, then it would give them extra motivation to aim for Vacuo, as its current existence is exactly what they hate, humans escaping justice and living with faunus peacefully. Yes it may be harder for them to keep a presence there, as Tukson, a WF deserter, had planned on fleeing there, but they may be able to keep a minor one. And aiming for a mixed family would be a way to send a message to all of Vacuo: "Humanity has wronged us all, and any Faunus who dare ally with them deserve the same fate. To all of the Faunus in Vacuo, who believe the strong deserve to stay here, ally with us and you shall prove your strength over the humans! Refuse, and suffer the same fate as the weaker humans.", as killing the mixed family would discourage some Faunus from doing the same.

2- While, yes it would make sense to run the White Fang out, keep in mind that, aside from Atlas, the White Fang has managed to maintain presences in the other kingdoms that have larger government structure, allowing more opportunity to arrest them. The WOR for Vacuo pretty much says the only form of governement there is Shade Academy, whereas the remainder of the kingdom is survival of the fittest. And while the basic WF member is basically cannon fodder, the higher ranked members like the Chainsaw Sword Lieutenant, Ilia, Adam, and formerly Blake, all hold great skill, the Lieutenant less so and Ilia presumably has similar skill to atleast Blake, so running them out isn't neccessarily easy for just a band of united fighters. As for why Sun and his parent would need to leave Vacuo, it would be for survival. With the WF on the loose and one of them being killed, they wouldn't be able to stay in Vacuo if they want to stay alive, and rather would go to a kingdom with presumbly less White Fang activity but little Faunus prejudices. While both Vale and Mistral have (assumedly, we haven't seen every part of both kingdoms, just portions) less discrimination, Mistral seems to be the better choice. Before Beginning of the End, we heard very little of the White Fang in regards to Mistral, whereas in Vale the White Fang are more noticeable, as Lisa Lavender's news report, the two detectives in The Stray, and the Train Heist in the Black Trailer suggest. So Sun moving to Mistral and going to Haven while being a Vacuo native would make sense in regards to the theory.
