Writing for the Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates uses it as a metaphor for the Confederacy and their adherence to racial principles. "Thus in 1861, when the Civil War began, the Union did not face a peaceful Southern society wanting to be left alone. It faced an an aggressive power, a Genosha, an entire society based on the bondage of a third of its residents, with dreams of expanding its fields of the bondage further South." The use of it, and especially the lack of explanation in a non-comic publication, was quite startling. Would this be worth noting on the page as evidence of its cultural penetration? --2602:306:CFEA:E360:342B:89EB:2B1B:C389 (talk) 09:08, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just read The Atlantic article and added the reference myself before seeing your comment here--seems like an interesting inclusion on the page to me! If you find a missing reference like this, just add it! Jazzratchet (talk) 19:04, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

90-95% of mutants lost, that suggests that there were less than 15000 mutants, it has been stated in comics that there may of been millions and that only about 300 remain (with 198 being officially known of and documented, with another 1 being off the record), even 99% does properly reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 22:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However the math works out, it is a well established fact sixteen million mutants died on Genosha. Lots42 (talk) 19:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Me and my girlfriend went to Genocia a few months ago for vacation and I never heard about any of this stuff! What happened? Was this before or after Christmas of last year? This is crazy!!

A flag of a temporary ruler? I think we should have a shot of the majority of the island before it got all exploded. Lots42 (talk) 19:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Island of Dr Morreau should be cited as a direct literary antecedent to Genosha, as well as historical links to modern-day post-colonial Asia and Africa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.245.45.97 (talk) 00:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
