I think her husband has racial prejudice because he believes that white people should not marry black people, and that people from different cultures can never truly understand each other. When his wife asked him if he would marry her if she were black, he finally answered no, but he loved his wife very much and finally compromised. If the wife is black from the beginning, they may not even have the possibility of knowing each other.

I think her husband is racist. On the surface, he said that he was friendly with blacks. Still, when talking about whether he would marry blacks, he avoided a positive answer several times, reflecting his essence that blacks are different from whites. There is still a tragic knowledge that whites are more noble, and he has a pride that he is not aware of.

I think the husband is an honest man. He doesn't have racial prejudice. As mentioned in the article, the husband can get along well with blacks in work and life and does not look down on them. He refuses to marry a black woman maybe because they live in a different cultural background and thus have a different worldview and outlook. He doesn't want to marry someone who thinks differently.

Yes. He claimed that there are fundamental differences between black people and white people, making it difficult for them to understand each other, and he also mentioned the extremely high divorce rate in interracial marriages. During the discussion, the husband angrily and defensively threw the washed dishes back into the sink. Moreover, when he mentioned the term "racist", it suggests that he may have underlying prejudiced thoughts.

I think the husband has racial prejudice.Even though the article does not explicitly state that the husband has obvious racial discrimination, it can be seen from his words and attitude that deep down he still discriminates against black people.Based on his education, he knows that racial discrimination is a bad behavior, but stereotypes may have taken root subconsciously, causing him to unconsciously be influenced and develop discriminatory thoughts.

I think that although this husband is not willing to intermarry with black people, deep down, he is at least an honest man who has no ill will toward black people.

Marrying a black man is a personal choice and cannot be equated with racism, so this husband is not prejudiced against blacks.

I don't think this husband is a racist. First of all, he respects different races, because he can communicate and cooperate with them peacefully. The reason why he says he won't marry a black man can't be attributed to whether he is a racist or not, but to the reason of aesthetics. Everyone looks for their own partner differently.

I think he's too rational, and his answer is bound to hurt his wife. Sometimes people need a little white lie to make interactions more comfortable.I think he is a hidden racist. A truly non-racist person embraces people of all races in every aspect.

1，I prefer a slow-paced life because I think the essence of life lies in enjoyment.
2，I don't think I can adapt well to the quick - fix society. I would feel quite anxious. In this society, everything seems to be about instant results and rapid changes. For example, the constant emergence of new social media trends and the need to keep up with them makes me feel overwhelmed. I prefer a more relaxed pace of life, and the fast - paced nature of this society makes me worry that I might fall behind and lose the ability to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
