So far, what do you think of the husband? Does he have racial prejudice? If he does, what are the reasons? If he does not, what are the reasons?

    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.

    Firstly, he may be influenced by the social environment he grew up in. If he was surrounded by people who held discriminatory views towards certain races, he would likely absorb such ideas unconsciously. The media and cultural stereotypes prevalent in society might also have played a role. For example, if the media constantly portrays a particular race in a negative light, he might form biased opinions.

    I think the husband is a racist because he thinks that people of different races can love each other but he did think they can get married. In the end, he said that he would marry his wife if she was a black because he didn't want to make his wife angry, rather than because he truly thought that people of different races can marry.

    I think the husband is a sane man .He can consider some practical things .And he is not 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.

    The husband in "Say Yes" clearly harbors racial prejudice, and the story subtly reveals its roots through his actions and defenses.His Defensiveness Over a Hypothetical Question: When his wife asks if he’d marry someone of a different race, he reacts with irritation: “What makes you think I’d care?” His anger isn’t about the question itself but about being challenged on his implicit biases. He avoids answering directly, instead insisting, “I just meant people should marry their own kind,” a phrase that betrays his belief in racial separation.Contradictions in His Logic: He claims “race doesn’t matter” but later admits he “might” hesitate to marry outside his race, saying, “It’s just easier with your own kind.” This contradiction shows his prejudice isn’t conscious but ingrained—he parroted societal norms about “fitting in” without examining them.Projection of Bias onto Others: He justifies his hesitation by assuming others (like his family) would disapprove, saying, “My mother would have a fit.” This projection deflects responsibility: instead of acknowledging his own prejudice, he blames external pressures, even though the question is about his personal choice.

    I think this husband is overly rational. I don't think he is racially prejudiced because, in my opinion, he is just discussing the matter at hand and objectively analyzing it.

    I think he is indeed a racist. First of all, he always evades his wife's questioning and has expressed that he would never marry a Black person, which shows his personal emotional rejection of Black people.

    In my view, the husband is a racist. He held the belief that two people from different countries and with different skin colors couldn’t truly love each other and get married. When he explained to his wife why he wouldn’t marry a Black person, it seemed to me that he felt superior to others.

     think the husband is a racist and has racial prejudice.Because throughout the argument he had never given a direct answer to his wife's questions. It was not until the end that he admitted that he would not marry his wife who had turned black.

    I don't think the husband is a racis.Because people from different races have different cultural backgrounds and ethnic customs, there is a greater likelihood of conceptual conflicts arising during communication between different races. If he is a racist, then he will view the issues they are discussing with a judgmental attitude, and will believe that one race is superior or inferior to another.

    So far, the husband does show signs of racial prejudice. He claims he’s fine with Black people, but believes they shouldn’t marry white people because they’re “too different.” He generalizes an entire group as having a separate culture and language, which reveals underlying stereotypes. His prejudice likely comes from a narrow worldview and discomfort with crossing social boundaries, rather than open hatred—but it’s still prejudice. He uses “statistics” and culture as excuses, avoiding deeper reflection on love and individuality.

    The husband clearly has racial prejudice. His belief that interracial couples "have no hope of understanding each other" stems from basing human connection on skin color, a classic racist mindset. He reduces complex relationships to superficial "colors," ignoring shared humanity.His prejudice is also revealed in his ironic failure to understand his own wife, Ann, proving his views are rooted in ignorance, not logic. The author’s choice to leave him nameless further emphasizes his lack of self-awareness—he’s a symbol of prejudiced thinking, unable to see beyond his own narrow views.
