Nobody has been able to explain why they can't be compared, other than "A select few mutants are dangerous," so, uh...
Would you like to give it a try?
Would you like to be the one who makes an argument for why it's okay to be prejudiced against an entire group based on the actions of a select few?

Yeah this has always bugged me about the X-Men
Mutants really aren't a good allegory for any real life group.
In X-Men 2, Xavier (Major Spoilers)
Almost wipes out all mutant life on the planet in seconds. Then moments later almost wipes out all non mutant humans on the planet in seconds. Xavier isn't even a bad guy he was just drugged and still almost commited global genocide in a matter of seconds.
That's beyond "walking nuke"
And Xavier isn't even the only mutant who has those powers.
Gay people or women or black people or Muslims or Gingers oe left handed people or transgenders or little people don't have the ability to wipe out the entire population of the planet in seconds if they chose too.
It doesn't really gel.
It's stupid to be afraid of or curtail rights for a gay dude because he's the same as you. That's just your own vulgar prejudice.
But a dude who can wipe out all life on the planet within secconds if he chose to? You're saying it's prejudice to safeguard that?
