Except that, like the current incarnation of Spider-Man, their future ALWAYS got worse. Even real-life minorities, for as much as they struggle to make and hold social progress, have made better progress than mutants - for fuck's sake, if black people had made the sort of BACKWARDS ANTI-progress that mutants have made in the comics, then not only would Obama NOT be president now, but he would have been arrested and convicted on the birthers' claims of him being a "secret Muslin terrorist." So, either Xavier is the single most incompetent civil rights leader who's ever lived, or else the public of the Marvel Universe is so stupid and evil that even the average FOX News viewer would consider them shockingly ignorant and bigoted.
