Erase the fandom.

I'd do something akin the cycle of hatred like they did with fishmen in one piece the whole idea of racism discrimination leading to violence leading to retribution like liked jimbe's speech about said cycle in the end hurting evey one if someone hurts you hurt them back nothing changes I'd do something were Weis is racist but subtle were its deep down almost instinctual rather than loudly id have learns from the past and choose to end it also with adam I'd make him a mixture of arlong and hoody jones someone who was harmed by humans but instead of ending the violence he only wants more and more he only cares about proving Fanus Supremacy over humans seeing humans as evolutionary mistake. Blake would be the one who has basis against humans due to being around Adam but still trys to overcome them but it would be subtle like she wouldn't sit next to weis but as the story goes along she sits closer and closer bit by bit showing progress rather than telling it
Id also show actual Fanus being mistreated harassment people giving them pricing untrusting looks being relegated to low labor like carring others supplies having to wear collars in some of the more racist parts of the world id even have things like more human passing fanus looking down on those with more obvious features and have peaceful counterpart to the White fang something like The Black Paw or something have the Fanus nations or societies misstrust and mistreat humans as a result of their experiences with humans have fanus nationalist or seperatist

They tell rather than show when look at the civil rights erra or how actual racism minorities face notice how the who human zoo thing makes people feel uncomfortable with nothing needing to be said?

The problem is that the show doesn't show any of the racism, making characters like Blake and the White Fang just seem like rabble rousers complaining about jack shit.
Beacon is shown letting in Faunus characters without judgement, Faunus are shown walking the streets without harassment, one of the schools in the most racist of the kingdoms is literally run by a faunus, the island they were 'exiled' to is beautiful and seemingly peaceful, etc...
They could have built up the world a bit more to show that faunus were second class citizens. Beacon I'll take as an exception, being a progressive school and all that, but in other places small things like people getting up and leaving the moment Blake sits down near them would have gone a long way. Someone from the sticks like Oscar could casually drop a racist slur without realizing that it was racist.
In short, look at how Fire emblem PoR handled the Laguz. Various main characters are openly distrusting of the Laguz fighting on their side and even the main character Ike uses some racist terms without meaning any harm.
