Despite all our evolution and civilization, humans are still tribal and territorial animals. While an individual Other may still face discrimination for being different, being an outsider, they can be allowed into the territory and be assimilated, but an entire race of Others, competing over the same territory and resources? And that race is proclaiming itself superior to you, and rejecting the laws, customs and culture of your society? That's a conflict about the survival of your own people, and the future of your species.
Marvel civilians don't like the Hulk or Spider-Man, but there aren't hundreds, thousands or millions of them. Mutants are an existential threat to humanity in a way other superhumans are not, with mutant terrorist villains like Magneto and Mystique fighting a literal race war.
>>107380303Humans didn't hate Inhumans from the start because Inhumans had isolated themselves from the rest of the world for centuries. People didn't know who or what they were. There was no Inhuman equivalent of Magneto or Sabretooth that the public knew and feared. For decades it was literally a "stay in your own territory and keep to yourself and nobody will care about you being different" story. The outside world's only real experience of the Inhumans was the times Crystal was on the FF or the Avengers.
The Inhumans books showed the Terrigen cloud turning people into NuHumans did have people excited at the chance of getting powers, because nobody had reason to hate and fear Inhumans yet. If the Inhumans push had been successful, they would certainly have worked towards that point, and given the world reason to hate them, but Marvel never got to it.
