    Isn't that the definition of racism??

    I think racism is about what do you think about persons that are members of a group, in a negative way. At first, the mutants were just unusual, not in a norm, strange enough to cause all sort of emotions, yes, fear was often among them, as it is usual when facing something unknown, but it wasn't always the case: Nightcrawler had been chased by a mob while Storm was treated as a goddess…

    I'm more in line with "mutants have literally conquered the entire planet three times 2011, how much longer are they going to play the underdog card?"
    "A happy ending? So unlikely. We're not having a moment here.

    Wrong city, wrong people, all huddling in fear.

    No one escapes the slaughterhouse, and that's just where you're at.

    You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? You're deluded, time to go.

    Isn't that prejudices? Racism is when you justify a hatred based on those prejudices…

    Racism is always negative. It’s the belief in the inferiority or superiority of one race over another or actions and systems that put a race at an advantage or disadvantage as compared to others.

    Yeah that's true....but racism isn't just that. Assuming all black people can dance or every Asian person knows Martial Arts or every latinx person speaks Spanish.. Or every white person craves cheese While none of those are inherently negative they're prejudices and stereotypes that are examples of casual racism.
    My bad if we're not on the same wavelength about what's being discussed...lol
