In marvel mutants are a race. They were actually made in marvel as a symbol for racism. Mutie is a term used as a pejorative towards mutants, much like the N-word towards black people. In this seen you see three people openly discriminating against a mutant (an oppressed race). The mutant, stands up for herself and leaves. To re-imagine this it could be simply revisioned as three white guys call a black man an N word.

Anyways, the point wasnt for kitty to try and be racist. The point was her to stand up against racism, which is what she did.

Your right. I forgot about what mutants were made for/their purpose. Sorry with everything going on in this country I got a little heated:

The point of it was that is not ok to use derogatory and discriminatory words against someone maliciously. Its not ok to use the N word, or the F word towards queer people, or the C word towards women, or the any of the other many discriminatory words. Further, anyone of these discriminated minority groups really shouldnt make hypocrits of themselves by actively discriminating others. Essentially, kitty was standing up for herself against a racist by showing him he was being a hypocrite. He was discriminating her based on race but didn't like feeling the same towards himself, thus being a hypocrit. Its a very loaded panel.

But yeah you're right, its volitile out there.

Yes. When I was little and I had Marvel heroes crushes, she was my top (still is.)

All we need now is an actress that is exactly right for Kitty in a new X-Men movie.

You also have to look at it in context. Kitty didn’t straight up call him the N-word to be rude.

Idk if this was the point of it back then but it’s pretty relèvent today. I’ve seen so many people of color degrade other races and then want to get mad when they get called out for racism against another race. That’s pretty much what Kitty was trying to teach him.

This also goes for a lot of the hate within the lgbtq community like all the biphobia, and the “LGB leave out the T” movements that have been going on.

I hate those people.

I like this panel with her.

Don't worry about Kaine, Hummingbird helped him on next page.

Kitty is a very Controversially character from being a mutant to getting apparently hated on for saying the n word
