George is Beneatha's date, though she doesn't take him seriously as a future mate. In the elder Youngers's eyes, his primary attractive quality is his access to wealth. Yet his presence also raises the issue of class tensions within the black community. He claims to have no interest in African culture and is exactly the opposite of the idealist Joseph Asagai.
