Answer: She mocks Mrs. Turner’s belief that everyone should look alike.

Mrs. Turner is a particularly interesting character in the novel, as she is a racist against her own race. She believes the ideal to be Caucasian (white), and makes little of people with strong Black features. In the passage, Hurston is not only criticizing Mrs. Turner's desire for everyone to be equal. She is criticizing her obsession with "whiteness" and her belief that "her paradise" was one in which everyone was Caucasian.
