You know, I'm pretty sure that any and every world is dangerous. But if you think you'd be more comfortable in a world with monsters, then you should try.
[Ecks is not prepared for the enthusiasm of the response, and she is still not at all sure that she enjoys being licked. She jerks her face back, already working her mouth in response to the uncomfortable feeling of hair on her tongue.]
This is a very messy form of communication.

I have never heard of a soft and nice world. Every world has good and bad sides, I imagine. But any of the worlds that resemble mine are full of terrible things, realistically. But it's true that if you don't look human, these worlds will... not welcome you. My own world doesn't welcome me half the time, and I am human, but of the wrong skin color.
In my world? Yes. It's a very, very complicated situation, and it's been going on for, basically, forever. Many, many people are not bothered by skin color. But many, many people are, too. My world - and especially my country - is governed by white people, and I happen to not be white.
[She bites her lip, frowning.]
It really is a lot, lot more complicated than that, but basically, the answer is yes. There is a right skin color, where I'm from.

In my world there are many different skin colors, and I think it mostly does not matter except for the elves. The important part is what race a person is. Some of the races are not very good.
[She gives that a moment, thinks it over, and clarifies.]
I was taught that some of the races are not very good.

[She gives the question thought. It's not in her nature to make blanket statements, so she thinks through all the times when House could be said to have 'forced' her to do something she did not want to do.]
he forced me to give back the doll I stole from him
and then said I could not travel with him anymore because I was a thieving brat

Well, my world only has humans, but we're referring as different skin colors as races. It's backwards and nonsensical if you ask me, especially when you have mixed races - like me. But in my world, white people and black people are different races. Even though we're the same.
[It feels so impossible to explain, but Claire can only try her best.]
What kind of race is not very good? Are we talking orcs and trolls, this kind of species?
[Ecks might be living in a fantasy world.]

Orcs are good. Trolls are stupid but good. The bad ones are the ones that are weak and deserve what they have got, like the white elves and the humans. The good ones are the ones that are strong, or smart enough that they do not have to be strong.
I do not think that the humans here are all weak and stupid.

Oh.
[Does that mean Ecks is on the other side of the divide in the good/bad dichotomy in fantasy stories? It most definitely seems like it.
At least she's not hating all of them just because they're human, which is good.]
Are there any human back home that you think are not stupid, either?
