trust, cooperation and understanding are a dance that takes 2, and humans were the first ones to not only refuse to engage, but atacked mutants for even sugesting both sides are equal.
the fact there is people reading x-men comics that dont understand that for flatscans to be like the n word, mutants would have at one point used that word to dehumanize humans to enhance their system of opression, slavery and control, tells me people realy dont absorb the true intentions of any media no matter how in your face it is about its mensage.

Except yes they are. Emma even says as much; she isn't telling them about the wonders of the medicine and what good it does for people, she's telling the kids "This is leverage, this is power." The kid's using "Flatscan" in a disparaging manner--it's got nothing but negative connotations. Regardless of the systematic meanings, it's an intentionally shitty thing to do.
More than that: it's an attitude that continues to foster division amongst people. It isn't helpful and it isn't gonna be met as anything but negative.
