The problem is... that the humans are RIGHT about that. Having someone like Prof X who could quite LITERALLY take over the world by turning the world leaders into puppets and doing whatever he wanted... is a serious threat.
Using them as a stand in for 'minorities', was always a flawed concept. You can't help but side with the mutants because being black or a Asian or gay doesn't make you 'more dangerous', than any other person... but shooting eye beams and randomly exploding... absolutely DOES.
The other issue I've seen over the years, is that the mutants=minorities has lost a lot of OOMPH when they have diversified so much with making black, Asian, gay, AND mutant. Mutant is a catch all anymore... it's it's OWN thing... and that thing is pretty dangerous. Heck, first chance they got in AvX they LITERALLY took over the world (for the better... but that certainly didn't help their 'we just want to live peacefully' debate).
