The Council doesn't seem to have a problem with shop owners putting up "No Faunus" Signs on their walls, so you think there would be some anti-faunus stigma in Mistral, yet Leonardo is the headmaster of one of the four prestigeous schools even though he is a Faunus. Does no one in Mistral have a problem with him? Is just that one shop guy racist and the rest of Mistral is fine? What the hell? This may sound kinda like a shot in the dark here, but what if did the same as most of the main Faunus we've seen so far? Aka "Hide their Faunus physical traits".

So far, Leo's only visual trait is his tail, which I personally didn't see until he started fighting Oscar, so who knows how many other Faunus can pass as humans (Blake, Tyrian, Illia and even Tucson back in Vol.2).
