Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Janie’s coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made Mrs. Turner forgive her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. She didn’t forgive her for marrying a man as dark as Tea Cake, but she felt that she could remedy that.

Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Turner
A) judges others based on their skin color.
B) accepts the decisions that other people make.
C) believes divorce is easy to attain.
D) rejects Janie as a friend because of her appearance.

It is reasonable to conclude, based on the excerpt, that Mrs. Turner judges other people based on the color of their skin. Mrs. Turner seems to be lenient and less judgemental towards Janie simply because of her "coffee-and-cream complexion." On the other hand, she believes it to be a bad decision for Janie to have married Tea Cake simply because he is dark.

Based on the excerpt which talked about Mrs Turner's remarks about Tea Cake, it is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Turner A) judges others based on their skin color.

What is Racism?

This is a form of discrimination where a person is judged based on his skin color and treated differently from others.

With this in mind, we can see that there is the narration of Mrs Turner not happy with Janie getting married to a dark skinned man such as Tea Cake which signifies that she is racist.
