I don´t think so. First of all, her design is based on the color white, so we could also ask "Is it racist that the racist is white?"



Secondly, I don´t think she´s racist. Sure, one could say that she believes in some form of racial theory, but then again, faunus do posess characteristics and traits based on their animal trait, so it´s not much of a theory in the first place.

And for prejudice, I think her actions and behaviour towards Sun and Blake proof that she isn´t hostile towards faunus in general. Like she said, she doesn´t care. She knows Blake is a faunus, and used to be with the White Fang, but she doesn´t care. Blake is her friend, and Sun is, well, Sun.



I mean, if Weiss really was racist, she´d also show this towards Velvet, and Blake´s faunus heritage would´ve been revealed much earlier because of this. Than Weiss would´ve started attacking Blake, Yang would´ve sided with Blake, Ruby would´ve sided with her sister, and Weiss would´ve gone to Ozpin to complain about her team joining forces against her for no reason.
