Hmmm, I tend to exclude aliens from the normal consideration (That being said, they are hardly best examples of mutant/human cooperation)

Longshot and Shatterstar are both aliens (Longshot being genetically engineered in the Mojoverse, and I lost track of Shatterstar's actual origins after the 27th "shocking reveal" about his past)

Warlock is an alien AND a mutant (His non-aggressive nature has been identified as a mutation on several occasions)

Danger is an alien, sentient alien tech to be sure, but alien.

Dr Rao I always see as more of an allied support staff member than an X-Man proper. Much like Moira McTaggart.

I'm not even sure I ever knew who Omega Sentinel was, so I'll happily give you that one. :)

There are also a lot of aliens and robots, and robot aliens in the Avengers, so for the specific purpose of this comparison of numbers I think it's fair to count 'em.

(I think Danger is more robot - well artificial intelligence - than alien, but now I'm nitpicking)

Moira would be perhaps more on the side of support staff, that's why I didn't mention her, but Kavita as part of the X-Club, is thrust as main character of a few stories along with the others X-scientist, so I feel it's fair to count her.

Omega Sentinel is a human-cyborg (with Sentinel tech) she ended up joining the X-Men during Carey's X-Men run led by Rogue after being helped by Xavier and Magneto during the third Excalibur.

I think Mimic is probably the only human that has been a member of the X-Men not as support member. The rest as you have pointed out have been aliens or hybrids. Well Namor is more a hybrid then a mutant in my mind as a majority of his powers are tied to his Altantean heritage.

Admitly the X-Men is there to help mutants help control their powers which I can understand. So I can understand why the school side would have just mutant members. Still it wouldn't kill them to spend time out of the various X-teams. I still like the X-Men at the end of the day, it just sad that I realized how non-inclusive then tend to be.
