Hmm, reminds me of that basketball coach remarking on the Black Lives Matter protests this past summer, albeit paraphrased: "It's amazing, that we keep loving this country . . . and this country doesn't love us back." Reframe that for the X-Men as, "We love this world . . . we would literally give our lives for this world . . . and yet, this world has never loved us back." While it is definitely not a one-to-one parallel, there are some similarities in how the X-Men and other mutants affiliated with them have risked and sacrificed their lives for a better world in which they and nonmutant humanity can coexist as equals and partners and how historically, black people have fought, bled, killed, and even died for America, in the hope that America would come to recognize, respect, and love them as equal citizens and human beings, yet both have been repeatedly met with violent, virulent ingratitude from the country (and world) whose love, acceptance, and respect they've sought for so long.
