I'm sure you're not referring to my post, as I did not lecture you on slavery but rather posed a hypothetical attempting to draw a comparison to the fictional situation mutants face. If you were, nice strawman.
Anyway, you don't know for a fact that mutants and humans would never live together harmoniously, mainly because the Marvel universe deals with a plethora of alternate futures, some of which are post human/mutant war and some post human/mutant peace. As peace and equality is a possibility, the position of mutant dominion/human genocide (which is Magneto's eventual position after fighting for segregation for years) seems extremist. He becomes the mirror to that which he hates most in humans. Had it not been for his repeated acts of terrorism against humanity, it's more likely that the image of mutants could have been changed from fear to understanding more easily by Xavier.
If Magneto only wants peace, why, when allowed to have his Asteroid M, does he put nuclear weapons on an asteroid and send it crashing towards the earth? Simple: genocide.
