And it seems like they don't hold the act together as soon as it becomes clear Cardin is not overpowering the "opponent", at leats not with ease. As seen by their reaction when Jaune threw the sap jar back to him, when they saw the Ursa Major, how they didn't attempt to argue against Yang when she demanded answers or, during the match against Pyrrha, how they did team work despite him.

That said, the problem would be if they share Cardin's racism to his same extent, in that case, they will find the way to be disrespectful towards Velvet no matter what.

The Blake situation would be interesting. It would give her points with Ozpin if she proved her statement of wanting to be seen for who she is rather than what she is if, after Cardin treats her more or less respectfully during the mission in comparison to Velvet, some incident reveals her cat ears and he has to revisit his views. But, at the same time, I do wonder if Cardin can push her with his comments to the verge Weiss did during The Stray and she has another outburst. Part of me kind of wants Cardin to have an awkward crush on Blake. He may resent the righteous know-it-all Pyrrha, but Blake is feisty and combative, which could just be his thing. Then she loses her bow at some point and he's just like "Wahhhhhhhhh?"
