Young People of Different Races and Ethnicities Do Not Socialize With One Another.

Across the United States, young people develop irrational attitudes about who their friends should be. This development is not set in stone. Elementary school children work and play together without regard to arbitrary differences in race or ethnicity. But, by the time they reach high school, they almost invariably choose to stay with their own.

While teens may attend the same classes and play on the same sports teams as those who are different, they don’t choose to spend time together having lunch, hanging out, or even walking between classes.

The unfortunate result is a society in which the individual is judged by his or her appearance, not by what he or she is or is capable of.
