Psst. You're supposed to see Magneto's point of view, even though Xavier is supposed to be the good guy.
What's supposed to make the world of the X-Men so damn grim as that they're fighting for the right ideals, and it's a pretty thankless task. What makes the X-Men heros is that they're on the losing side just because [they're] inclined to play fair and because [they're] a minority, and yet they don't automatically side with Magneto, who has an incredibly valid concern (heck, the X-Men even include Bishop, who really is from a future where humans dumped mutants in camps).

Or at least that's the theory, anyway.
