Korra took deep shaky breaths trying to get herself under control. For a demon it was natural that she would react badly to this. Demons weren`t nice in general but to their own race they hated everyone. Alliances were the only way they didn`t kill each other. As a child Korra herself was hurt pretty bad by other demons, mostly abused by a dog demon who her parents had an alliance with. Being at this academy with some many equal rights made her extremely happy because she could be herself.
