You aren't really getting what the show is trying to say. Anissa did that sort of like how Roy previously became violent as Oliver's sidekick in Season 2. However Jefferson molded her to not have her own personal feelings get in the way when fighting crime which they get into when they work together. He believes in dealing with racism by working with the law. (Except for crime fighting, that is the one thing he doesn't work with the law on) So he told her to stop doing that and do things his way. His other daughter Jennifer also feels that her powers would mean nobody would ever accept her, and as a father, Jefferson mentors his kids to live with it and learn that it isn't so bad.
