So in the comics the mutants being hidden for years work just because it's comics? That's a rather weak argument. And in First Class, it was the 60s and mutants were unknown for common people, and unbelieveable for goverments.

Nothing says mutants might haven't already appeared in the MCU, but they kept themselves in secret in fear, or were kept in secret. Their existance might have even be kept a secret by S.H.I.E.L.D., that would be a pretty good plot point.

Just think of it. Before the Battle of New York, mutants feared to be known, or were kept in secret by S.H.I.E.L.D., nobody would want to show they can do something special if green strong men destroy cities. But after superheroes save the Earth, mutants now can use the recognition of heroes like the Avengers to be public.
