This is why I love the X-men. It's always been that type of a fight, with someone looking different and they're automatically the scum of the Earth and need to be wiped out. It's way more exagerated than what it is in normal society, but it's a good comparison as to times in history where this has played an important part, like the African-American Civil Rights Movement or the current political issue of gay rights. It all fits together in the same disgusting veil of human nature.
