There may be only a few mutants with that level of power, but there aren't any real-world minorities whatsoever with the power of a gun or car that can't be separated from their physical body. That's where the metaphor breaks down; there's no percentage, small or otherwise, of gay or black people who can move things with their minds.

I know about the mutants without powers or harmless ones, but having them in the background or on the side of most of the franchise is just throwing the metaphor a bone. The trade for all the action and excitement of the X-Men is a severely weakened message. That's okay, I don't seek out a fun adventure comic for reality, but then I shouldn't be expected to equate its issues with reality. The kid with the blue tongue and all those like him are just shoehorned in there as an afterthought following the massively destructive fighting between the powerful mutants are over, to remind us "Hey, we have a deep metaphor going on here, remember?! Pay no mind to the guy with the claws for a couple of seconds."
