So, Cortana started being race-equal, but then started to become less race-equal, and at times what she said could be considered racist-in-context...

Could be a case of Unreliable Narrator (though not so unreliable, it is supposed to explain, after all). Maybe Cortana, or whoever is narrating those things, is pro-human? Maybe despises the Faunus or sees them as inferior? Anyone ever wondered that?

On a sidenote, there's something I wonder now. If the Faunus War was more or less like the colonization of America, then that means the Faunus are locals...but locals to what place?

There are at least 4 or 5 continents in Remnant. Were the Faunus local to all of these continents? Or just to 1 or 2, which were found later by humanity? We know there are Faunus in Atlas and Vale, but we don't know if it was always like that.

If I remember right, Faunus used to be..."contained" in some place that I have forgotten it's name, prior to the war. We, however, don't know if they have always been there, or if only after humans found them.

Maybe humans are local to Remnant, but not to the continents the Faunus were local to. It's just a theory though.

As for the last bit, I see the Grimm as alive as the Darkspawn. They are both "living" beings, they have blood (or well, roses and smoke for the Grimm, though they are red on the inside), and look similar to living beings (Like humans/elves/dwarves/qunari for the Darkspawn, like animals for the Grimm).

They both, however, don't need to sleep, eat, or drink, or go to the bathroom. They are both always chaotic and destructive. And they both, have no soul. They are also much stronger than normal people. They are...like undead when you think about it. Always want to kill and destroy, like to target living beings, yet they are dead on the inside.

One of the ways the Darkspawn multiply is also similar to the way zombies spread. If you get directly hit by one, or it's blood, and survive, it's likely that you're corrupted and will become one eventually. The question is, if the Grimm do the same. I have an hypothesis, that the Grimm "Grimmified" the normal fauna of Remnant, turning them into more Grimm, which is why there are so many Grimms in Remnant. They, however, didn't Grimmify the entire fauna, which is why there are still some normal animals like Zwei, even if rare.

So, what do you guys think?
