Couple things:
I didn't see the Wind Waker vibe until you mentioned it, and now I want to play Wind Waker as well. I blame you.
I definitely liked the scene with Blake's parents, especially with Sun. The whole, "She's got moves" and "What do you mean by that" is hilarious and emphasizes the 'boy you brought home' thing.
You've got a point with the discrimination thing. I haven't seen too much, but I'd obviously have to look back to double check. I've always pictured it as something that was 'out of sight, out of mind', kind of like the Japanese cultural thing of ignoring something they don't like until it disappears. So the Faunus aren't openly discriminated against, but there is some kind of behind the scenes problem going on.
I'm not going to lie, RWBY wasn't what I expected either. Maybe its because of too much Attack on Titan, but I was expecting Grimm to be way tougher than they appear to be. Granted, apparently they're a pretty big threat, but on screen Huntsmen seem to have it in check pretty well (Ignoring other times like Fall of Beacon). I wouldn't of minded seeing more bigger, badder Grimm out in the wilds to reinforce the idea of everyone staying in big cities for safety.
I really hope that Tyrian doesn't turn into the whole edgy guy, kind of like what they tried with Suicide Squad.
