Answer:

George represents for her a more Eurocentric sense because he is an African-American guy who has travelled the world, who has money and who is interested in her due to the way she looks physically

Step-by-step explanation:

In the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry Beneatha is a really good looking and beautiful girl who dates two different guys Asagai and George. George represents for her a more Eurocentric sense because he is an African-American guy who has travelled the world, who has money and who is interested in her due to the way she looks physically not so much for the things she can think or say. George's family has adopted some of the white American traditions and ways of thinking and seeing the world, George is an American guy, he does not have an adaptation to those traditions, he was simply born there. For George it is not of importance to respect what African cultures have brought to contribute, and he does not believe that women need to be intellectual and have any opinion; reasons why Beneatha stats getting tired about those positions.
