Why do you suppose that I said this was a very common racial issue? Its an issue where people base their judgment, negative or positive, on race as opposed to individual. If Blake wants to defend that not all Faunus are bad, that's one thing, but she wasn't. She was saying that they were misguided and that they were pushed first. She was defending criminal activity because of circumstances.

And fact that Blake hidden being Fauna from her teammates? I guess it might be reason to be mad, but I was never into that "friends should tell each other everything" stuff, so I am not sure myself., less decide what is appropriate reaction to that. |

And then there's all you "she's only against the white fang not against all faunum", yet all of you conveniently shy away from my argument that she literally said: Faunum + didn't pay for his boat ticket = terrorist Seriously, why is no one addressing this if you're all so convinced that she's "clearly only against the white fang and not against faunum in general". |

She is saying that he, who has shown to do something illegal will end up joining others (which is probably true in this case) If she is as you call racist then that would apply to that bunny girl too, yet you didnt hear her say "serves her right she is probably part of white fang since she is a faunus"
Your also conveniently avoiding how weiss showed clear disgust when that bunny faunus was being bullied, if she was a racist she would not have, so now its your turn. Also rewatching this episode i found the combat skirt scene really funny especially how ruby and weiss did that high five. Also does penny remind anyone of nora just a little more weird? |

No of course you're not. It's just a hyperbole. The crimes don't add up. You don't consider someone a terrorist just because they didn't pay for a boat ride. Quote:
Or conversely, how she can't possibly have made racist remarks just because she doesn't participate in nonsensical bullying? Why is this mutually exclusive? |

You, and everyone else can assume that, because Adam intended to blow up the train and didn't give a hoot about the crew, the White Fang is a group of murderers. But as circumstantial evidence goes, when we don't even know if the train was actually blown up (not that that even matters, since Blake separated the crew from Adam and the rest of the train), it's a far cry from pinning an actual murder of someone, somewhere, at some other time on a member of the group. The defense counsel would make mince meat of that "evidence." Sure, Adam has demonstrated that he is cold-blooded enough to indiscriminately kill "innocent" people to further the White Fang cause. But he is the only one, other than Blake, who we know are or have been members of the group, and we do not know if any of the other members share his sentiments, or if he is a lone loose cannon.

It's hard to keep up with all the posts from all the different forums. I've gotten about 40 notifications in the last four hours or so, which represents many, many more posts that one has to skim through (who's got time to read them all and to reply to some of them?). It seems to me that even Yang got the impression that Weiss was categorizing all Faunus in her statement: "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal." to which Yang replied, "That's not necessarily true."

Which, unless my imagination has gone haywire, brings me to conclude that Blake has seen the error of her ways regarding involvement with White Fang, and, by entering Beacon Academy, is making an effort turn over a new leaf in her life. |

Your missing the point, using an example from the book To Kill a Mockingbird the black guy was found guilty even though all the evidence was clearly saying he was innocent. To that extent if weiss was really a racist she would have seen the bunny girl as the guilty one and not have found it disgusting, maybe even feeling a little good.
Also fred, after a point in time you have to stop just looking at the evidence and make your own assumptions. Bomb was dropped+You see huge explosion, but since you didnt see the big crater it obviously was a dud. And what i said wasnt racial profiling, i'm saying that the story will probably go in a direction where the monkey gets blake to join the white fang and after some sweet moments with weiss and blake she comes back to the academy. |

If your definition of "racist" is "kicks puppies", then you need to rethink your definitions. |

...Your missing the point again. First lets start with my definition of racism - classifying an individual within a group and assuming that they all have a specific trait or more. (Stimulus Generalization but for races).
Next, if we assume weiss is a racist she will view all faunus as criminals and "degenerates" We also know that if she finds something bad she will ignore it (meeting ruby in the forest) or bash it (white fang). If the bunny girl was being bullied and she was a racist she would either ignore the bunny-"she is a faunus so she has done something bad to them, its her fault" or bash it-"she is a faunus so whatever happens to her is because she is a a criminal" But she didnt she showed clear disgust. |

I'm done.
I found this episode to be pretty interesting, weiss seems to conflict with the group the most, also the addition of penny is interesting. Penny seems to be another version of nora to me she also seems to be pretty strong being able to move really fast from weiss' reaction. Overall i think this is a good set up episode for the blake arc. The idea of the tourney and juane is kinda funny, though he will probably end up either really strong from the training or still the funny pathetic guy we all love.

Weiss has her reasons and considering how badly they treated her family and company, of course she wouldn't be too thrilled. And Blake only defended the very people that she probably has known all of her life and as we saw from her trailer, she's helped out on missions. Of course she'd be miffed at what Weiss was saying.
If this is supposedly ending next week for the season, I'm guessing something happens and the cliffhanger will be if 'Will Blake come back?" Otherwise, Penny is fucking Creeepppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........
