You're right, but X-Men can be a metaphor for any oppressed people vs a society that oppresses them. It's almost as if there is some fundamental oppressor/oppressed dynamic that is universal across history and manifests in different but recognizable ways.

Yeah, I don't think its ever been intended but I see applicability to the struggle of ND people in the mutant allegory, particularly in mutant cure storylines.
