I agree. I don't like the nationalism connotations. There have been points when the narrative angled that way (Utopia for example), but I don't think that is actually a positive direction for the franchise. In theory the X-Men have always been about integration, not segregation or supremacism, which a mutant nation at the very least suggests. It becomes more evocative of Israel, when ideally the X-Men should be transnational(and even transgalactic, given their relationship with the Shi'Ar and other alien cultures). So long as there are terms like 'man'kind, and hu'man'ity, I don't think X-'Men' is grossly problematic.
