I have to point out that mutants and Inhumans have actually had very good relations for decades worth of comics. The bridge between these two races happened when Crystal and Quicksilver got married. Also, Charles Xavier and Black Bolt served on the original Illuminati together for quite some time (. So up until now, relations where very very tight.

Also, Inhumans have always been subject to persecution from the outside world. Check out Inhumans Vol 1, Inhumans Vol 2, Inhumans Vol 4, -, Silent War Vol 1. Humans have always been suspicious of the Inhumans and have acted negatively against them even though the Inhumans have tried to make efforts to be accepted or understood. Granted, the Inhumans have for the longest time remained reclusive to the general population of the world. The fact is, this prejudice didn't happen over the whimsy of a few years. It's escalated since Inhumanity, I'll give you that, but I wouldn't say it hasn't escalated at a faster pace than any other mutant epidemic either: The Legacy Virus, M-Day, Post AVSX, etc.

I'd also say that the parallel between IVSX and AVSX is pretty much the same: Both groups have interacted for years. They have fought with and against each other for a few times, but this would be the first time that events have lead to an all-out war between the two groups. Even the "what's at stake" moment is exactly the same (the fate of mutants) with only the extra addition of the fate of Inhumans put into the mix.

Even the lead up to the event is same as AVSX: While the two groups have similar goals and do heroic things, they were too busy focusing on their specific and group-centric goals instead of uniting under a common banner. This has led to events spiraling in such a way that it's gotten beyond the boiling point.

Trust me, this entire plot line wasn't just an overnight after thought. It has been literally decades in the making. The problem with serialized story telling that spans so many years is that unless you do enough research it's easy to jump to the conclusion that this is something that just magically happened.
