You mean “in issue 1,” not “from issue 1.” He drew splash pages and a cover, which doesn’t suggest he co-created the characters or wrote the story. Whitewash is a horrifying character and Kirby’s barely-seen version of him isn’t good, but it also isn’t that.
That mistake here is thinking that egalitarianism requires that people be "objectively" equal (itself a meaningless idea). It doesn't. It requires people be treated as morally equally (i.e. all having rights). That's compatible with difference.

With both X-men and Inhumans Kirby was trying to show that a community can be different but still have a place in democratic society because of principle of moral equality. He was being innovative and, as it happens, right.
