When he conducts an experiment that goes awry and he becomes blue, furry, and fanged, he no longer looks like a person. However, his very essence, his mind, his capability for speech and all of his basic bodily functions are still the same as any other persons are. Moreover, McCoy maintains his humanity by continuing to work with Xavier to defeat the mutants led by Shaw who desire to kill humanity. In doing so, McCoy proves that regardless of how he looks, he still is contending for the side of humanity because up until the end of the movie, he looks like other people (for the most part). His dedication to the side of humanity in the face of adversity demonstrates that mutants who do not look like people still in fact is a person.
The example of Hank McCoy also proves that regular people can treat mutants that do not look like mutants in an equal manner. Once McCoy inadvertently transformed himself into the blue-eyed Beast, he no longer physically resembled a human being. However, McCoy is still able to continue working for the government and keep his place in the X-Men. The fact that he flew the X-Men to the site...
From this knowledge, the viewer can infer that McCoy was able to keep his position with the government and continue to work with them in his capacity as a scientist, alongside regular human beings. The fact that McCoy has helped humanity also aids in the fact that regular people will respect him and treat him like an equal, especially at work.
X-Men: First Class grants a lot of hope for differences between mutant kind and humanity. As such, it presents a good deal of hope for working out differences between humans, such as those associated with race, gender and class.

Man's Ability To Treat Humans Like Animals It is a vivid fact that the feelings of cruelty, discrimination and racial distribution are embedded well in to human nature since its very inception. This world depicts several cases where humans treat other humans like animals and ignore their right of living peacefully and according to their own will.

In the historical world, there seemed to be fewer choices in life for many, and roles as adults were more stringent -- and defined as adult meaning very structured cultural templates. There must then be a bit of a Catch-22 when it comes to the advances made in gender thinking, family, and actualization since the end of World War II. Improvements in education, lifting of the gender-based glass ceiling

He convinced his fellow communists that the only solution to all problems lied in strengthening the agricultural sector by introducing land reforms.

Whereas Marco's devotion to Lydia is based on his perception of guilt and responsibility for her predicament, Benigno's infatuation with Alicia seems to be a perfect example of the manner in which men can be love struck by a complete stranger even without any substantial interaction between them first. From the perspective of human sexual attraction and romantic infatuation, Benigno's infatuation is typical; what is atypical and perhaps less realistic
