mutants are no more dangerous than the regular superhumans like the ff and the avengers, and they arent feared and hated like the mutants are

DA

...They probably should be, especially if you think for a moment about what might've gone into "privatizing world peace.

Because the FF and the Avengers are government backed. They are monitored and kept under the thumb of such groups like S.H.I.E.L.D..

Meanwhile, mutants aren't regulated. No one knows who is one and how many they are and what they can do. It's the unknown that makes people fearful.

The FF aren't. Avengers only sometimes are.

And even then, some of the Avengers are mutants, so....

Okay, but this reasoning was used in the 1930s and 40s. Regulate them and keep them under control and know where they are. Obviously, in this case we're referring the hypothetical 'mutants', but these are some of the same arguments used historically. So is it a surprise that mutants are used as a stand-in for real life oppression?

Which is honestly one of the main persistent continuity issues with the Marvel universe, and the reason it's a good thing the X-Men movie continuity is entirely separate from the MCU.

It also doesn't make subbing in people with dangerous superpowers for actual minorities any less stupid.
