I think this husband is a prejudiced and hypocritical person, and he has racial prejudice. He said that he studied and worked with black people and they got along well. However, he couldn't accept a marriage between a white person and a black person. Moreover, he said that people from different backgrounds would never truly understand each other. This statement is not entirely correct, as the degree to which two people understand each other is not completely determined by their cultural backgrounds. Just like him and his wife, they come from the same background but still don't understand each other. In the end, the wife made a hypothesis that if she were black and they were in love, the husband still said that he wouldn't marry her.

I think the husband is a racist. From the story, we can see that even though he claims he’s not racist because he went to school with Black people, worked with them, and got along well, he refuses to accept marriage between white and Black people. The only reason for this refusal is race. Some might say liking certain skin colors is just personal preference, but skin color differences come from race itself. This shows the husband is racist, even if he doesn’t realize it. He thinks mixed-race marriages cause problems like cultural differences and social pressure. But these issues could be avoided through communication. After all, marriages within the same race have plenty of problems too—just like the argument happening between the husband and wife in the passage.So, I think husband is a racist.

I think the husband's understanding of racial issues is one-sided and narrow-minded,and he is not aware of his own racial discirmination.In my opinion,he has racial prejudice for the that although he can have a very pleasant conversation with black people at work,essentially,when his wife asked him whether he cared about her face,his answer was affirmative.He even said that if his wife were black,they wouldn't have gotten married.From this,it can be seen that the husband has racial prejudice.
-
I think the husband is a racist because he feels that people of different races can love each other but he did think they could get married. Even though he knows this is impossible, he is unwilling to tell a white lie. His wife only wants his attitude that he loves her, just a word of 'Yes'.
-
I think my husband is a racist and he has racial prejudice. Whether he would marry his wife when she assumed he was black, although the husband gave a positive answer, it was not out of his love for his wife, but to avoid using evasive language to avoid arguments.
-
I think he has. Although he expressed and indeed achieved harmony with black people in daily life, his refusal when asked if he would marry a black person secretly revealed his inner resistance to black people. It can only be said that he is an open-minded discriminator.
-
I think that the husband is a racist and he has racial prejudice. Despite saying he has a lot of contact with Black people, his behavior shows that he discriminates against and disrespects them. This reveals that he is somewhat selfish as a white person. In addition, he is growing impatience in response to his wife's repeated questions reflects his inner guilt. In the article, he said that he would not marry his wife if she had been black. He would rather lose his marriage than let go of racial prejudice. In short, he is a racist and he does not like black people.
-
I don't think the husband is a completely racist.I think he has a little racial prejudice.Because he is a white people,and must have some contradictions with black people,It's understandable, but It's a fact that he have a prejudice against black people.
-
I think he's racially prejudiced. On the one hand, he says he gets along well with his black partner in the debating club, but on the other hand, he doesn't agree with interracial marriage. It still gives people a feeling that white people are better than black people.At the same time, he repeatedly stresses the cultural and customary differences between ethnic groups, failing to take into account that cultures could be integrated and that the world needs cultural diversity.
-
In my opinion,the husband is a rational man,but is a self-mocking man.Because he felt smug when he overheard himself being praised for pitching in housework occasionally.He firmly believed that he possessed the qualities of a considerate individual.Actually,he was not.We all reside in the same household and should equitably share the responsibilities of housework, particularly in a marital partnership.And definitely,he is not a racist.I think racist may express strong dislike and even the psychological and actual act of wanting to trample on other races of color.But he got along well with his black coworkers.
-
I think he doesn’t have racial prejudice. The first reason is that the husband doesn’t regard black people to be unfriendly or unkind, he even gets along well with black colleagues in work. Meanwhile, the husband just considers different cultural background people may not fully appreciate each other’s idea and will have different communication methods, doesn’t look down on the black people’s culture. Finally, I think the husband have enough evidence to debate for himself, but his wife just corners her husband to the ridiculous problems.
-
The husband is not a racist. In the text, he presented a few arguments to support this, for instance, differen skin color may cause different cultural backgrounds, hence impacting how the story goes--the man wouldn't meet the woman or cultural distinct cannot be eliminated resulting in the answer "no".
-
So far, I think her husband's mouth is honest and reasonable. I think her husband is racist. Her husband thinks that white people and black people can't marry and love each other, they have different cultures and can't understand each other clearly, but I think that if two people really love each other, they can cross races. Although her husband's various explanations did not say that he was racist, the husband's reasons also showed that he was racist.
-
I think he's racially biased. Although he said he got along well with his black classmates, he hesitated when his wife asked if he would marry him if he were black, indicating that he was not truly unbiased against black people.
-
I think the husband is a racist and has racial prejudice.When his wife asked him whether he would be willing to marry a black person, his initial evasion of the question and his final negative response both demonstrated his prejudice against black people.And he thought people who come from completely different backgrounds can not understand each other.
-
I don't think his husband is racist because he works and talks with people of different colors. And it does seem to me that it's harder for people from different cultures to get married.
-
I think the husband is just a mild racist.Because the husband can study、work and do a lot of other things with black people,but he couldn't overcome the obstacles in his own mind to get marry with the black people,though the black people was the one he loved.
-
I believe that the husband does indeed harbor racial prejudice, even though he may not be aware of it himself and might even consider himself "open-minded." This prejudice is not overt racism but rather a subtle, implicit bias, reflected in his attitude and logic toward interracial marriage. The husband repeatedly emphasizes the "differences" between Black and white people, and this excessive focus on differences is itself a form of bias. He overlooks the commonalities between individuals, treating racial identity as an insurmountable barrier. I believe the husband's prejudice does not stem from malice but is instead the result of long-term conditioning by the socio-cultural environment in which he lives. In the society he inhabits, racial issues have yet to be resolved, and many people unconsciously internalize certain stereotypes and prejudices, even if they believe themselves to be "free of racial discrimination."

I think her husband Ken might be racially biased. Maybe, but not exactly a racist. Because it was mentioned in the article that her husband could go to school and work with people of color and get along well with them. So he's not an absolute racist. However, when his wife asked if he would marry her if she were black, her husband said no, which shows that he is still a bit racist.
-
In my opinion, he is racially prejudiced. First of all, his assumption about his wife is very problematic. If his wife is black, then will she necessarily have the appearance that the husband claims "black people" should have? Obviously, this is impossible. Besides, there are many outstanding people among black people, and the husband has already generalized on this point. The excellent qualities of a person will never be buried because of the color of their skin. The assumption he brings to his wife is a particularly stupid thing.
-
I don't think her husband is a racist. First he mentioned his experience of getting along well with black people at work. Secondly, marriage needs common topics and backgrounds to get to know each other. Just because he won't marry a black man doesn't mean it's racist.
-
I think the husband is serious, and I don't think he's racist because he doesn't show disgust or other bad feelings when working with black people
-
I don't think husband is a racist. He just thinks people from different cultures can't really understand each other and doesn't agree with their marriage, but he is will to go to school, live and live in harmony with black people.

I think her husband is a racist.
Can be seen through the dialogue with his wife, said her husband talk to yourself and black, so friendly to each other, again and again and bluntly said they would never marry black, it has been contradiction in itself. The husband only respects blacks on the surface, but actually disapproves of blacks in his heart. This is contempt for the legal rights of blacks. This is invisible racism. When this contempt arises, he assumes that blacks have no right to marry whites.
At the same time, he repeatedly stressed in context, I can't marry black because of different cultural background, he realized this, but he didn't want to tolerate the differences, or said he hold a neutral attitude. When faced with such sensitive issues, neutral people are the most frightening. Recognizing differences requires a willingness to learn and appreciate other cultures, which is a legitimate sign of not being racist. Instead of recognizing the difference and then letting it go, this person is no different from a racist.
Finally, I want to say, are right in this debate, has showed that the husband is a racist. For people of color who are affected by racism every day, the very existence of the argument is a slander and a burden, and when you justify everything, it is a disrespect for people of color, a contempt for the equality of all people, and they have to endure these arguments every day and watch the performance of your defense, is it right? Do you care about their feelings? If, on the other hand, the husband had married a white man, the enduring debate would not have existed. How sad and ridiculous it is.
-
I think the husband's perspective is correct. In my opinion, he doesn't have racial prejudice. This is because he is merely judging things based on their own merits. It's reasonable to assume that since people of different ethnic groups are in different environments, they will encounter various different situations in the future.
-
I don't think my husband is racist, he is more rational, not for racist reasons, but for his own personal preferences.I don't think not wanting to marry a black person is racist.
-
I think his husband harbors racial prejudice. He habitually uses silence and changing the topic to justify himself as not being a racist, but in fact his racial discrimination has already taken deep root and cannot be eradicated.
-
I don't think the husband mentioned in the article is a racist because I believe people may have different religious beliefs, values, cultures, dietary habits, and other reasons. When together, conflicts and differences may arise to varying degrees. There are many differences between white and black people in many aspects, such as the differences between our East Asian race and white people. But love is free, and there are many factors to consider before two people are together.
-
I think the husband is a sane man.He can consider some practical things，And he isn't a racist because he have experiences to work or play with black.What's more, he didn't do anything hostile to black. The problem in different cultures and other things are also the fact.
