It's not the way things are everywhere, Dani. I lived for a couple of years in a place in England called Brighton, where basically the only thing that matters is that you don't go around stomping on other people's rights to be or do anything. Sort of 'my right to wave my fist ends at someone else's nose'. But yeah, lots of mutants there, and while there were some FoH wankers who tried to stir up trouble sometimes, they mainly got laughed at. Hell, I used to make a living doing glamours for uni kids who wanted to look like mutants for the free mutant club nights - fur, horns, tails, wings, funny colours...
Brighton's in the minority, I know, but it just goes to show that all thise shite isn't inevitable. People can be decent and tolerant, if they're taught to be.
Of course, then you have the bother boys in London who used to roll homeless mutant kids for shits and giggles, and the police used to just look the other way. And the foster families who used to freak out at the first sign I wasn't a normal kid. *shrugs* Works both ways.
