1. Like Shadow said, they're named the White Fang based on the Jack London book White Fang. It follows RWBY's theme of having characters allude to classic stories. White Fang is about a wolf (well, 1/4 dog 3/4 wolf, if I remember correctly) who ends up caught and raised by humans. He goes through a lot of abuse and ends up becoming cunning and violent.

2. Mechs are a common thing.

3. Coincidence. Adam's last name is probably meant to point to him being a bull Faunus.

4. You really think that little white bandage and Blake being depicted wearing a black scarf on her arm when she was a kid is actually evidence of this?

5. The White Fang in RWBY is not fighting for independence. They're fighting for equality. They're fighting for humans to view them as people rather than animals, so they can get equal and fair treatment. If they just wanted to fight for independence, they could've let the humans send them to Menagerie and started their own separate, independent kingdom.
