Explanation:

Turner is young and his father is concerned about Turner visiting a Black girl due to racial issues. Turner's youth likely makes it hard for him to fully grasp his father's concerns about the racial conflict. His age - related naivety and lack of life - experience in dealing with such complex social issues are at play.

Answer:

Turner's age is not allowing him to fully understand his father's concerns over the racial conflict.
