I don't get why the general public seems to have more of a problem with mutants than non-mutants superheroes like Spiderman and Captain America don't they exist in the same world? Bigotry is like that in the real world too. People draw fairly arbitrary lines on who they hate and don't. Look at Rwanda. I bet most people outside of Africa couldn't tell you who was a Tutsi and who was a Hutu, yet that led to a genocide There's a cool scene in the underrated movie Hotel Rwanda where 2 girls are sitting next to each other at a bar, one is Tutsi and one is Hutu and the journalist just goes "They could be sisters!" The entire notion of "We have to check your ID To see if we have to brutally murder you for being one of them or letting you g for being one of us because otherwise we can't tell." would be hilarious in a dark comedy way if it wasn't so horrific. Reminds me of that story of Christopher Hitchens in Ireland where he stopped at a Red Traffic light and a masked man with a gun pulled him out of the car, put the gun to his head and said "ARe you Protestant or Catholic!?" And he went "I'm an atheist!" And the gunman went "...... er....Well are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist!?" Also kinda funny because he was a Jewish Atheist. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:904297054] in How come i...
