Isn't that how racism/prejudice usually goes? You have some bad experiences with people of a certain group, so you start thinking all of them are terrible and deserve to die. It's sort of a parallel to the anti-mutant humans. It's meant to be seen as an extreme reaction to racism.

If anything its the retcons of it all done by an impostor that is unrealistic in character terms. Making Magneto go on a terror campaign which culminates in genocide is the most believable thing Marvel ever did. Retconning it because they were horrified and didn't want to believe it was the dumbest thing they ever did, and that includes One More Day. That is why abuse and genocide happens in the real world, people don't want to believe it is possible and ignore it or try to justify/handwave it away.

They didn't retcon it "because they were horrified and didn't want to believe it," they retconned it because Morrison was pissing all over Magneto's character because he didn't like how he was portrayed as a noble anti-hero.

"Magneto’s an old terrorist bastard. I got into trouble—the X-Men fans hated me because I made him into a stupid old drug-addicted idiot. He had started out as this sneering, grim terrorist character, so I thought, Well, that’s who he really is. [Writer] Chris Claremont had done a lot of good work over the years to redeem the character: He made him a survivor of the death camps and this noble antihero. And I went in and shat on all of it. It was right after 9/11, and I said there’s nothing fucking noble about this at all.”

He also admitted that he overdid the whole storyline because "my loved ones were dying all around me while I was working on those issues."
