FWIW, I'm anticipating an 'Independence Day'-style scenario. In the montage in that film where we see the various groups of surviving military folk about to launch their counter-offensive against the invaders, we see a brief shot of a group of Israeli and arab pilots, their planes parked next to each other and looking at each other nervously. They'd just been introduced to an absolutely universal fact of human tribalism: there is always a far more terrible enemy than the people living in the next village over.

I think something similar is going to happen in RWBY. The Big Bad and its plan will eventually break upon the world. When that happens, the humans and faunus will find that there are far more terrible foes out there than each other and that they have more in common than they ever will have different, especially in the face of a threat that sees them both as vermin to be exterminated.

It will be a shaky and bitter alliance but, in the end, it will be the beginning of the end of the conflict between human and faunus.
