Hmm, I'd argue though (sorry for butting into the thread)that his words, at least at that point were more along the lines of any minority embracing that attitude as a coping mechanism to being constantly told you are less than, worse than less. Saying no,I'm not what you are and never will be, but what I am is better. I mean Mutant and Proud, Black and Proud, Here and Queer... all fall along the same lines.
Over the years, yes he grew into a monstrous version of that, but I think if things had played out differently he could have come to believe in humans and mutants living together. Nearly every human he dealt with lived down to his expectations by the end of the movie, cementing his path.
