Generally? No. Always? Also no.

I mean, the mutant rights issues in the comics are a pretty strong parallel to the black civil rights movement of 1960's America. You get the leading man interested in integrating and harmony, trying to lead a peaceful movement (Martin Luther King Jr. and most black rights groups, especially the NAACP). Then you've got the leading man who believes separation is the only answer, and is either not afraid to use violence or even actively encourages it (Malcolm X, Black Panthers, etc.)

And while they may not be out there committing violence all that often, I've run into radfems who tend to act the same way, seeing all men as a threat and believing women can only be safe and happy away from men, buying into the whole "women can't rape or abuse men" myth, etc.

What you've got here is an extremist minority group that believes in separation, elimination, and violence in ways similar to many real life minority groups in the real world...but in a far better position to act on that violence in the fictional world than the groups in the real world.
