Are teens admirable or naive when it comes to issues concerning race?

Both....Admirable because most of them see a world where racial issues are seen as negative and ugly and most of them really want to just have fun and find their places in the world. But naive in that when they get older they will realize that some things are very much racially driven no matter how much they don't like it...It's like watching a toddler pick up the lemon wedge and taste it. We know what the result will be but we let them experience the sour taste anyway.
