Genosha was created by humans who enslaved millions of mutants then killed them once they were no longer useful before the x-men saved them, only emma, magneto and lorna were on genosha during this destruction I'm not even sure if there was a government anymore Emma was a teacher on the island for example, I no longer know what magneto was doing.
The true experience of a nation began with krakoa and was destroyed again by the fault of humans.
They hired the wrong Ewing.
This sounds about as boring as that initial preview art looked. The closest thing to interesting to me is what sounds like a guilty pleasure TruBlood revisit in Uncanny, but unless that artist gets near-photorealistic real quick, I'm not going to be holding my breath for that release.
Lord Ewing, don't go!!!!!
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
To be fair, the average human, other than falling for Orchis' generic racist propaganda, has seen Krakoa hand out miracle medicine that turned out drugged or what-was-that that it took a switch to do harm, while Krakoa quickly became the most rich country in the world.
We the reader have been shown the vastness of the fortune Xavier amassed and all the holdings he controlled. Although not seen on panel, I think newspapers and newsnetworks in 616-canon must've dug into XAvier's holdings and revealed them to the public. Let's think Bezoz-Musk-Zukkemberg together, and all tightly linked to a government. Between the money and the medicine, the mutants could literally buy the planet.
Also, these mutants - who, let's remember, all work for their nation - terraform Mars and colonize it.
I mean. Look at the unbalances happening in RL from having one super-power who can dominate the markets by having all companies nation-owned, compared to the other "rich" countries in which private companies aren't required to work for the "betterment" of their country's growth.
Krakoa was that, and more. And with an army of super-powered beings that would make a rich country's whole arsenal moot.
And that's ignoring that the three main and public leaders of Krakoa were: 1)a former supremacist terrorist that - on top of countless of acts - once reverted the planet poles; 2) another supremacist terrorist; 3)a guy who could rewrite the minds of all 8 billions of people in a minute.
As long as the mutants fought each other, the mutants were less of a threat (and they already were a big threat per se), but once they got all together for the same goal, they become a super-power that must be feared.
I too would be quite worried. I think the baseline humans have been given plenty of reason to worry.
And I think after months of Orchis campaigning and brainwashing the mind of the average public (with fake news), I think is to be expected that mutants aren't welcomed on non-Krakoa soil.
We could look at history for an answer. Question: Did German people in 1945 suddenly became welcoming toward Jews, after years of being told that they were the worst evil ever or did it take them some time to clean themselves from the s*it they got to believe under the Nazism? Did German people suddenly understood that they'd been wrong and lied to or did it take time to believe what pics and video of the Nazi horrors started to circulate?
(same for other totalitarism/dictatorships!)
What I mean to say is that it makes sense that the fallout of the Krakoa Vs Orchis has mutants hated and distrusted. IMHO
The comparison to POC building their own country, as said by others, doesn't hold in the least.

First Warren in Dark X-Men #1, and then Genis-Vell in Captain Marvel #1. Seriously, Marvel?!
Avatar reflecting my mood. I couldn't stand the sunny high-flying Angel one anymore.
Also, Magneto didn't just act like that to the ambassadors:
I do wish that this sounded like something that I will care even one little bit about.
It doesn't.
These people didn't deserve Hickman.
Ugh. Yeah, still at "checking out Simone's book for Kurt and that's it."
If you have to mine the Zdarsky FF/X-Men book that everyone decried as doing literally nobody on either side any favors in order to further your case, you're really not making the point you think you are.
Like really? We're citing FF/X-Men as the basis for why 'actually, it makes sense that everyone thinks all mutants are supremacists now'? C'mon.
