Yep, pretty much. They're doing too much telling, not enough showing, especially when it comes to the stuff about Faunus facing discrimination.

They attempted to show that through Cardin and, apparently, Roman, and they told us outside of the show that Roman's attitude toward Faunus is apparently common in the general public. But

1. Cardin is an asshole to everyone. Not exactly a good example of "Look at the discrimination Faunus have to face every day!" He bullies humans too, not just Faunus.

2. Roman is a snarky bastard who makes negative jokes and comments about and toward everyone. We have absolutely no evidence in-show that Roman's attitude toward Faunus is widespread among the public, aside from us being told that this is supposedly a thing.

They could at least show background characters being discriminatory toward Faunus.

Another thing they could do to show how discrimination affects the Faunus is explain the lack of Faunus wandering around the background by having most Faunus live in the low income part of Vale. For the most part, companies can get away with paying Faunus less, and companies that have dangerous jobs, such as mining companies, would rather hire Faunus than humans because they see Faunus as more expendable. The dangerous jobs pay more, thus giving the Faunus an incentive to take such jobs. Mr. Schnee couldn't care less if a dozen Faunus get killed in a cave-in or any other kind of mining accident. They're just animals, to him.
