i'm not the most articulate person, so let me apologize in advance if this doesn't make much sense.

while i really dig the x-men, i'm not comfortable when they openly compare the mutants' plight to examples of rl prejudice/oppression in the comics, tbh. i'm not wild on borrowing words like chink or nigger or faggot to make your fantasy prejudice more legit.

especially bc, when it comes down to it, it's really not the same?

poc, muslims, jewish people, lgbt folks - they are just people. they can't go through walls and steal your money, or use their mindcontrol to seduce nubile white women, or w/e. they are not inherently capable of any more or less than a cisgendered heterosexual male WASP.
