Worse than that. At least Mutants had human parents. Clark is a genuine, full blood alien creature. We often forget about that because outside the 4th wall, Superman is an all-American creation. But Clark Kent as a character is foreign.
It wouldn't be so bad if DC Earth already had established contacts with galactic civilizations. Clark's problem is that revealing his origins would cause issues.
This would be moot by the end of the film though. As it seems an alien invasion is the finale of the film. Once everyone got used to having Space Aliens in the universe, Superman would be better accepted.
