Indeed. As it should be. But if you are doing an RP centered around some type of raids and you want to highlight the fact that the raiders don't care overmuch about the age of their "playmates", then simply say so, just don't describe it. Use it as a vague tool to inspire the raiders' opponents to go do what they need to do to stop the raiders.

On the racism note, its fairly easy to avoid that. Speciesism is far more fun. Instead of the black fighting the white, they team up against the green.

EDIT:
Huh. We were curious, so we looked it up:

Be mindful that while the age of consent is sometimes 16, many of the states have additional requirements that the partner be of the same age, or still under 18. So a 16+16 is fine, 16+17 is fine, but 15(or under)+16 and 16+18(and over) is not. There's some fudging and some lack of enforcement depending on the graces of the DA, and sometimes the upper age limit is 19 for a 17 year old, but basically the age of consent under 18 generally only applies when the partner is also under 18. 

But [@LegendBegins] is correct about the actual text description of acts. That doesn't meant this site has to allow carte blanche under US law, it can devise its own rules. Rulebreaking, like HeySeuss noted, is likely to occur in private 1x1s and PMs regardless of what rules are in place.
