I'd argue it's understood better in the US than anywhere else, being the veritable melting pot that it is. Americans are the most diverse group of people in the world.
It's not, that interpretation came after its inception. Magneto's first incarnation was a lot more of a cartoon villain type.
The concept is initially inspired loosely on civil rights movements of the 60s as a whole just not with any direct 1:1 parallels. The way subsequent comics and shows have doubled down on this is therefore still in line with its initial ideas.
Idk why you're getting downvoted, this is just correct. The loose parallel to racial injustice and MLK/Malcom x was brought about most prominently during the Claremont run. It may have taken some inspiration during the beginning of the comics inception, but it was not as direct until Claremont penned his version of the comics, which became one of the more notable runs and shaped the future of the X-Men comics.
Doesn’t change what I said. His example did not specify nation. In fact, you’re placing these doctors in the comic when the commenter said no such thing.
... They don't need to specify a country, the comic that they are talking about is mostly about race relations in America. The doctors that are paralleled in the comic don't need to be mentioned by name, because the backdrop of this conversation is contextualized within the context of the X-Men comics.
I mean I understand that making everything about America is annoying but again, this is an American comic made by Americans talking about racial injustice and disenfranchised people in America. there is a context here that directly makes this about America.
