She said 'When I realized my oldest partner had become a monster' and you don't just come to that conclusion overnight. You don't solve a case with one piece of evidence. And you're leaving out vital points of her story here, she said 'I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence,' right after saying that is was working. So it wasn't working for her. Did I fucking quibble percentages Weebling? No, I didn't. She runs rather close to the line, well within my personal requirements for a gray area, but because actions speak louder than words she still runs farther from a gray "true neutral" than Weiss, therefor if you consider Weiss racist because you discount her personal bias against them, then you must weigh Blake by the same scale... both were victimized by the other race, Blake is the only one known to have physically acted on that bias, therefor Blake is closer to true racism. You ignored the question. How do you know she was completely fine with it? Because she stayed? Yeah, cause it's not like people who try to leave the White Fang get hunted or anything. And the only reason Weiss is racist is because of personal bias. Should we forget the whole point of her character? And once again, how to you know what they were put through. We've seen very few racist characters, and the first two to do that stuff would be jerks to them even if they were human. And finding it completely alright that a figure of power knows that she's a Funaus means she can't be racist. In To Kill A Mocking Bird, there was a trial where a black man was being convicted of assaulting and raping a white woman. The main character's father went on to prove beyond a shadow of a doudt that it was the woman's father who beat her and the black man was completely innocent. However, the black man was still found guilty because 'a white court can't rule in a black man's favor.'  If Blake were racist, she would assume that Ozpin knowing that she's a Funaus is the worst thing imaginable, not just because he's human, but because he's a human who holds power.

Racism is defined as 'the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.' or 'prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.'  If she were racist by either definition, she wouldn't trust Ozpin because he's human.

And she was more concerned for the life of crew members, which nowing how the White Fang only except Funaus and can be really destructive would most likely be human, than she did for her partner and their mission. If she were racist, and thought that the White Fang were doing the right thing, she wouldn't have left. Because she would think they're in the right. Blake would be a villain of the series and a new B would need to be dropped into RWBY.

You guys that got memorized?
