NOW I know where they got that theme from! I thought the whole "We hate those more unnaturally advanced than us!" theme came from somewhere recognizable!

Figures that Fukuda didn't come up with that idea on his own, had to rip it from a comic that was at least two decades before him...
Before him I'm assuming you mean the begining of SEED. You have the right idea (I did notice the at least, I'm just specifiying). X-Men first started back in 1963 (almost 40 years before SEED. The anti-mutant thing was around from issue 1, but really a year or year and half later in issue 14 with the introduction of Boliver Trask and his Sentinals.

Most likely it is a "it seemed like a good idea at the time" thing.
