Discuss the reasons for racial "self-segregation" in adolescence.

What will be an ideal response?


- Although there is racial and ethnic integration during childhood, by mid-to-late adolescence segregation is substantial because minority students actively seek support from others who share their minority status, which helps them affirm their identity.
- Different racial and ethnic groups may be segregated in the classroom due to their level of academic success.
- Majority group students may be in classes with fewer minority group students due to "tracking" based on academic achievement.
