By describing what the speaker likes, Hughes suggests that there are many things which people enjoy regardless of their race. That is the way Hughes expresses a distinct viewpoint about race in the poem "Theme for English B".
In this poem, the speaker is a black young man, who is also the only "colored" student in his class. Moreover, <u>he admits that he enjoys doing many things that people of other races also enjoy such as eating, sleeping, working, and understanding life</u>. He wants to express the idea that,<u> even though he seems to be very different from his peers, he actually shares things in common with them</u> ("I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like / The same things other folks like who are other races."). Therefore, Hughes expresses a different view about race by supporting the idea of diversity and implying that skin colour does not define someone as a person.
