Answer:

Disdainful and demeaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" revolves around the story of the Younger family and their experience of living among the whites with racism still an ongoing process. This African-American family's survival in South Chicago is revealed, trying their best to have a better future but still restrained by society's racist discrimination.

The matriarch of the Younger family, Mama decided to move her family to a better location and a bigger house located at Clybourne Park. This is in a way a path to middle-class acceptance and a projection of their life better than they are currently. But their plans of shifting to this white-dominated community is short-lived when Mr. Karl Lindner, a representative of the residents of that area told them that "people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community when they share a common background". He states that "a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way", referring to the majority whites while overlooking the Younger family's interest. His words have a demeaning and disdainful tone which was meant to suggest that the Younger family are not welcomed.
