    Race and Ethnicity

    We live in a very diverse community. According to a recent census, only a third of the teens in the Bay Area are white, and the remaining two thirds come from a cornucopia of cultural and ethnic traditions. How do you define yourself? Our teens talk about finding their cultural and ethnic voice.
