User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Faunus... inferior or superior?/@comment-3146930-20140420025118/@comment-3146930-20140421214219

Going by American history, The Faunus are like a mix of Native-Americans and African-Americans. Humans tried to isolate them into one area, except in RWBY they fought against this and won (history of NA). However they were still treated like slaves or second-class citizens and are currently fighting for Civil Rights (like AA).
