according to you its ok to hate a group of people if there's a greater chance they can be dangerous

that's not what they said

they said humans have legitimate security concerns about mutants that are not analogous to minorities

black crime rates are the result of 1) longstanding institutional racism destroying and devaluing their communities and livelihoods, barring them from opportunities or making them deal with far more difficult obstacles to succeed in the same arenas, etc, and 2) a strong, empirically proven bias among police and judicial system to pursue black and investigate black suspects more vigorously, and to charge them more harshly

it's not a result of black people being inherently more dangerous than other people, which mutants are, and creating a false equivalency between the two like you're doing is exactly why AYRT and myself don't like the trope

except mutants aren't inherently more dangerous. unless you think cypher, husk, artie and leech pose a threat to all mankind.

This was what I came to say. For every rockstar, spandex wearing, jet flying mutant, there are a dozen with "crappy" powers or simply physical differences that pose no danger to anyone, but are they themselves threatened because of the stigma against mutants. (Cough Morlocks Cough.)
