They actually have. It doesn't matter if you are gay, trans, Black, white, Latino, Russian, or Australian. All humans are capable of the same thing.

In the case of mutants, it's not an apples to apples comparison to real non fictional marginalized people. Black people are not and cannot be born with the innate ability to conjure a hurricane or melt ourselves into a puddle or whatever random lottery magical abilities.

Mutants are capable of any random lottery magical abilities that can range from harmless to apocalyptic scale.
Humans in the real world no matter your creed are not born with innate magical abilities that can range from harmless to apocalyptic.

What's being confused here is thinking the above means someone is saying bigotry is okay.

Yes but humans in the comic world can also get powers, yet aren't hated like mutants are. So the comparison still works.
