It's still wrong. I hope that when Blake's heritage is revealed, it will be because of her own resolve and not by someone accidently revealing her secret. It's the classic anime scene where the character is discriminated and chooses to follow the system (hiding her heritage) and excusing himself with the suffering he had to endure.

''Because faunus are mistreated, I'll hide my ears but not because I'm ashamed. It's because I want to avoid trouble.''

B*llshit. She's hiding who she is. She's a faunus and instead of being proud of it, she hides herself and tells Ozpin that it's because she does not want attention. That's an excuse, she says doesn't want trouble but honestly, every fan of any series that includes this kind of topic knows perfectly that this kind of character will eventually learn to accept who she/he is and stop hiding themselves. Take Sun by example, carefree and mischiveous. He has a tail which he even uses and accepts as part of him while Blake hides her ears. I'm not saying that I hate Blake but rather that it's perfect material for a scene where Blake will learn to accept who she is and reveal herself as a faunus even if that means that people will look at her differently. If she really wants to make a difference, then, doing it by hiding who she really is it's not the right way and she'll learn that at some point like every character who has faced the same situation.
