Question

Why doesn't Hurston get angry when she feels that someone is discriminating against her

Answer 1

She doesn't get angry because she didn't realize that her skin was the reason for her discrimination, she grew up in a town where everyone was black so she had never experienced it. So it was so unusual for her, that she took as a strange joke rather than an insult.

Answer 2

Oh boy I just had this question. She doesn't get angry because she doesn't realize that she is a different color. her whole life she grew up in a town where everyone was black. after she realized that she was different she almost took it as a joke rather than an insult.
