Are you sure he said Muggles? I seem to remember he said "muggleborns", 
but I might be wrong.

I don't know, Arthur's attitude seems to me very patronising, "ah, look 
at the clever tricks they do, bless...". And he is the best wizarding 
world has to offer.

No, I don't think they view them as equals, "just like themselves". You 
don't go and obliviate equals until they half lose their mind.
