Also what i'm saying is not that weiss is correct, but blake is wrong. She got mad at weiss who was bashing that terrorist group "because we had no choice", if your going to kill and steal then you are going to be hated, if you get mad at people who find that bad then your wrong. |

the thing is weiss's hatred towards the faunus is misdirected, she blames them for her fathers anger and abuse of her, and because she doesn't want to believe her family is in the wrong or the fact her father is a horrible person she looked for something else to blame and the easiest thing for her to blame was the white fangs attacks on the company and her hatred and racism stems from that

Maybe for some people, when they think "racism" they think of something entirely different from what is happening here. (maybe a stereotypical redneck or something)
Racism is a lot more complicated than that and yes, it happens even with people not realising they're doing it (a lot). Racism is a result of being either misguided or conceited. The former isn't a sin, provided the person shows willingness to change after becoming aware. |

Okay, I'm going to stick my neck out again, so feel free to chop away.
Can anyone back up the following claims with proof, not heresay? 1. The White Fang group has murdered anyone 2. The White Fang group has robbed stores As far as I recall, the only two things that we know members of White Fang have done are: 1. attacked a train in the Black Trailer, fighting and destroying robotic guards, and presumably either blowing up the train and/or stealing Dust (neither of which has yet been confirmed) 2. disrupted a peaceful Faunus civil rights protest Other than Weiss claiming that the White Fang had committed murder, no one else, so far as I remember, has made such a claim. Heck, it could have been her father telling her that the White Fang was responsible so that she wouldn't find out that it was those "questionable business partners" who were eeking out revenge for some double-crossed deal. Even the two policemen in episode 15 never claimed that the White Fang had done anything. They only speculated that it might have been the White Fang who robbed the store. Quote:

Does everithing always has to turn into racism and/or sexism discussion? Faunus are problematic minority and monkey boy didn't exactly improved their image with his disregard of law and basic rules of society either. Yeah, Not all Faunus are liars, and I am pretty sure Weiss actualy does realise it, but there is fraction big enough to earn such tretment.Prejudices are wrong, but they often hold some truth.
Also Weiss likely said things she didn't meant because she got carried away and same goes for Blake. When comes to confrontation people get more radical, it's normal occurence and there is no need put blame on either of them. |

I suspect that the White Fang is a terrorist group based on Blake's rather crummy defense of them. If she's so smart and knowledgeable on the subject, she should have been able to how and where Weiss is wrong about them. Instead she white-washes them, saying they're "very misguided" instead of denying outright that they're trying to wipe out humanity, which is a pretty extreme accusation to make.
At this point it's safer to assume that Blake's emotions got the better of her. She defended a group of people that she knew, may have been very close to, who had a cause she believed in at one point from someone who's family that she doesn't especially like. It was something of a perfect storm of emotion where someone Blake considers to be an enemy on some level attacking people she personally cares about, no matter how wrong they may be. Considering how much anger Weiss expressed towards the White Fang, she's letting Blake off pretty easy for hiding who she is for so long. |

--- On another subject recently discussed, some people here were saying that Yang and Ruby looked nothing like each other. Well, I disagreed, harking back to the scene where they were both face-to-face in episode 8 at about 4:55 or so. I decided to play around in Photoshop and see if I could determine whether or not they resembled each other: Spoiler for for image matching:
If they are not blood-related, then maybe one of them is a clone with DNA modifications for hair color and measurements. |

Or -maybe- they really aren't blood related and the similarities are due to the fact that it's an animation v_v.
And as much as I dislike the idea of labeling a group of extremists "terrorists" without more info (a terrorist in one person's eyes is a freedom fighter in another's), your argument of "since there is no proof, the opposite must be true" is a bit... out there. |

Weiss is not racist ... you guys are overreacting wayyy too much. That is like saying batman is racist against humans because humans killed his father and every time he sees a human criminal he punches them in the face -for racism- ... no he just does not like criminals ... and those criminals tend to be human. I do not think Weiss would have approved of a non-fauna acting like a monkey thwarting the law and acting in such a fashion either as she seems rather pro-Order.
