Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun.

[LINDNER:] But you've got to admit that a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way. And at the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background.

Which words best describe Lindner's tone, based on his use of the phrase "in a certain kind of way”?
