A person I was talking to said, “Faunas are treated like dog shit, but that’s never once shown.”

The treatment of Faunus appears a lot like how we are with other ethnicities in America today. Oh sure, we’re not gathering in lynch mobs and plenty of black/hispanic/etc. people have opportunities that their great grandpappys didn’t.

However, racism still pervades either subtly with people who want to be progressive but internalize bad shit or blatantly with Donald Dump and his chumps. Sometimes it’s a mix of both with people who play the “I’m not racist but…” card.

Sadly, people want to believe in the illusion of perfect equality and see those trying to negate those theatrics as the “racist” ones. As Blake said, humans have to make greater strides if they really want equality.﻿

…When were you planning to actually respond to the criticism? We’re given very little onscreen evidence of Faunus oppression. I believe it’s there, but we don’t really see it.

“Show, don’t tell” is a rule of storytelling for a reason.

Non-progressives, of course, are just willfully racist, all the time.

> Sometimes it’s a mix of both with people who play the “I’m not racist but…” card.

Because everyone who admits they’re worried they’ll be seen as racist is clearly racist. That’s not prejudiced at all!

> Sadly, people want to believe in the illusion of perfect equality and see those trying to negate those theatrics as the “racist” ones.

There are very, very few people who believe perfect equality exists in America, and such a belief is not racist.

Pay no attention to the terrorist group actively making the problem worse.
