True or False: The text questions the unequal power dynamics between the white wife and daughter compared to the Black girl in terms of servitude.


Debate, addressing the following questions:
What would have happened if the doctor had been a Black male? Would he have asked a white girl, his patient, to become his servant for the holidays? Would he have asked her to cook, wash clothes for him and his family while they were playing on the beach? Conversely, if the doctor had been a Black woman, would she have asked a white girl to work for her and her family? Would she have insisted that the white girl join her family to serve them? Could such a colonial fantasy come true in the office of a Black female doctor?
