Did Claremont sometimes go too far with the mutant minority metaphor? There'd be a shitstorm if Kitty said something like this in Guggenheim's X-Men Gold.
Was that an appropriate response? I feel like Claremont expected the reader to think "Oh wow, Kitty is so right!", but she just sounds like a toxic brat to me. The mutant minority conceit is too hamfisted to be taken as a serious parallel to actual minority struggles.
