Stefani is likely to face difficulty forming an ethnic identity as she is living in a primarily white neighborhood, which may not provide a strong sense of community and cultural identity. Tara's move to England may present some challenges, but she is still likely to be within a community of American military families, which can provide some sense of shared identity.
