We specialize in poor taste,
I figure a mid-teen girl, plucked out of the Orient and dropped in the US, watching TV news, along with the cautions all parents give teen daughters, was probably pretty nervous here. Usually mid-teen girls don't get to do much exploring outside of where they're living and no way to counter the TV news paranoia. I seem to remember her saying something about Mexican toughs in her area too.

Given all that, she has a warped perspective of the US and never had a real chance (and maybe not desire) to sample the freedoms we cherish or understand having them is worth the trouble that can come with them.
