As someone who has read the x-men comics, the issue is murky largly because Marvel has abandoned a lot of the gay and minority allegory in the x-men, and many storylines distance themselves from the allegory entirely.

In mutant's case many are born with entirely random or even detrimental powers, and when they activate for the first time can go out of control. Any racial allegory falls apart when you've got characters that can spontaneously emit lethal radiation on accident and nuke their entire school before they even realize what's wrong. Injury can also set off powers uncontrolled as well, as in Scott Summers case, you can have someone take a nasty fall and after recovering suddenly have no control over their power.

That's to say nothing of powers that are difficult to detect but potentially nation destroying like shapeshifting and mind control.
