That being said, it's on a streaming platform, and the allegory is a direct one to the Civil Rights movement of the 60s (when they were originally created).
This was not a thing when the X-Men were created. The whole civil rights allegory did not come until much later. They created mutants because they didn't have to keep coming up with back stories for how they got their powers.

The X-Men were created in 1963; the same year as the March on Washington.

“I loved that idea,” Lee told the Guardian in 2000, as the first X-Men movie hit theaters. ”It not only made them different, but it was a good metaphor for what was happening with the Civil Rights Movement in the country at that time.”
