As we begin our discussion on race and ethnicity, we must remember that each one of
us has different life experiences, different values, and different viewpoints. Our
demographics as a school and community, while positive and constructive, limit our full understanding of what it means to be of a
different race—or even of a different ethnicity. Only through sociological imagination will we
be able to maximize our study.
