Especially since Miles and Kerry have so badly screwed up at properly showing Faunus discrimination, to the point where we didn't so much as see a "No Faunus" sign until Volume 5.

Five years, they've been telling us the Faunus are discriminated against, and we didn't see an average joe discriminating until five years after the series started.


 * Yeah, there's Roman, but he's an asshole to everyone and likes to be snarky.


 * Yeah, there's Cardin, but again, he's an asshole to everyone. Jaune even said so himself, Cardin picks on everyone. Out of the characters we actually saw Cardin messing with, one was a Faunus (Velvet) and the other two were Human (Jaune and Pyrrha).


 * Yeah, there's Weiss, but her beef was mostly with the White Fang, with her attitude branching out to uncertainty about Faunus because you never know which Faunus are in the White Fang or could join the White Fang. And she had good reason to have that fear and hatred.

At this point, the only way they could really show the Faunus discrimination would be through flashbacks because anything in present day can be written off as "These people are like Weiss was in Volume 1. They hate Faunus because of the White Fang, not out of some pre-existing discrimination."

That's why I like my idea of having a flashback to Blake as a child basically on a sort of "Bring your daughter to work day" thing with Ghira. Perhaps they ventured to a village where the only pharmacist within miles refuses to serve Faunus, and there's a Faunus whose husband is horribly sick and dying. He's too sick to be moved, and his wife is afraid to try to journey out to another pharmacy because she has a young child and isn't even sure if she would make it back in time. So, Ghira and Blake visit with her to talk about the situation and then try to get the pharmacist to sell her the medicine her husband needs. Additionally, there could be a bit where the Faunus woman's son asks why they can't just steal the medicine, thus reflecting the attitude of Sienna Khan's White Fang.
