Everyone does, not just her. And Sunshine's probably more open-minded than most, given her relationship with Con. Besides, most weres aren't anywhere near as bad as vampires. There's the part where they're normal people for most of the month - and those who get ahold of the drugs are normal people all month. And not all weres are created equal. A werechicken or a werecat isn't going to be the sort of nuisance that, say, wererats and werecoyotes can be.
Trouble is, vampires are bad enough that their badness tends to rub off on anyone who isn't strictly human. That's why demon crosses tend to try and keep things as discreet as possible. Even if their partblood heritage only manifests itself in a relatively harmless way - like growing in a second row of teeth, or hovering a foot above the bed every night after you fall asleep - people are still going to look at you sideways for being fractionally one of them. Hell, even peris don't exactly shout it from the rooftops.
Okay, so it's pretty cool to be suspected of being a fallen angel, but that's about it. Anyone else under the Other umbrella keeps their head down, whether they really need to or not.
"No one really knows how many there are," Sunshine admits. "A lot of people got turned during the Wars, but it's not like there's an Other census." Or that the government would get anything close to an accurate count, even if they could find enough foolhardy census-takers to attempt one. "Enough for us to be losing, anyway."
