[Kurt does feel bad for her - and extra mad at whoever's in charge. Not only bringing in someone this young, but making her cry with some mean 'crime'? It's just messed up.]
And that's what counts really, that you're trying to be good! I'm sorry. The people in charge of this place are cruel. They say they want to help us reform, but it feels more like they want to mess us up more. Just don't let it get to you, okay?
[The rest of what she says is a bit trickier to tackle. Kurt rubs at his head as he tries to think of how to word this.]
It's okay! You- didn't say anything really bad or anything. It's good to ask questions about what you don't understand! People and humans are the same thing, yeah. And mutants are just people who are born with extra gifts, really. It's not exactly the same as Indians, or Europeans or Canadians... They're considered those things because of where they're born. But we're considering mutants because of what we're born with! I guess you could say we're developing our own culture of sorts, but really, we're just trying to live alongside other normal people.
