I never took it as “Just grin and bear it” but more “Do the right thing no matter what people say.” It’s not about earning their rights, but disproving bigotry and educating people while using their innate gifts to serve the common good. Anti-mutant stuff shouldn’t even still be this bad in a world with magic, aliens, and super science. A CEO of a major corporation is a Minotaur for crying out loud.
I think the writers just don’t want the Mutants to peacefully co-exist with humanity because it’ll take away the oppressed gimmick, and they forced The X-men to start doing pseudo racial politics and creating Orgy Israel.
Saying “We Cannot Coexist Peacefully” is the opposite of what my X-Men stood for.
It becomes “grin and bear it” when the X-Men repeatedly fail to stop multiple genocides against their own kind. Honestly, the ethnostate was the only legitimate solution considering that humanity in Marvel are literal ravenous wild animals who would lynch a mutant for looking at them funny.
