Answer:

The point Hurston is trying to make is through humor, showing the black people as part of the society of the United States.

Explanation:

She is not <em>“the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother’s side was not an Indian chief”</em>. In fact, the term "Indian chief" refers to the white owners of the slaves. At that time it was very common for these people to abuse women to get them pregnant and thus generate more slaves, so she is not the only one in this situation.

What the author tries to show with this phrase is the diversity of races is abundant in the United States, since their descendants come in part from white men, for which the author criticizes the racism of people who still do not accept it.

Answer:

Feminine culture.

Explanation:

A 'Feminine culture' is described as the culture that promotes a smooth or fluid approach towards the gender roles in the society. Such a culture lays emphasis on a collectivist attitude where both the males and females are incline towards people and nurturing their quality of life which is contrary to the masculine cultures that involves a distinction in roles of men and women.

As per the given description, Ashley would probably be categorized under a 'feminine culture' as she is allowed to live on her own terms and her roles in the society is not different or distinct from the men. She possess the authority to work independently, wear clothes as per her will, and chose her own way to live life. A masculine culture would never promote such a behavior as they are quite clear and assertive in defining the gender roles distinctively.
