I found this site to be a very reliable site. This is the proper citation but I actually got this information from a website: []. This is a Dayton Unniversity Website. Professors and students have edited over this information so it is a pretty reliable. The professors and students that have worked on this website are in the law center at Dayton Unniversity. This brings another bias view to their work. I do not know this for sure, but I would be willing to say they used a lot of cases to help with their conclusion of "what is race."

I got a lot of information on biological and social construction with race. Both of these topics are controversial in the world today. It is good to get a wide range of opinions when trying to figure out what you think is right and wrong. I think this source helped a lot with helping me decide what I think is the real meaning of race. After reading this site I think that race is a social concept. There might be a little genetic differences between people, but overall the idea of racial tension is a socially constructed thing. I am curious to research more on this topic to find out more details into what race really is.

This site has a bias view to it, just like everything in history does. The people who researched and made this website believes that there is no biological part to race. I have other sites that say there is, but this site provides me with solid evidence that there is not a biological part to race.

This site is a biology website talking about the human race. It talks about the concepts of how biology relate to "race" in the world. Gloria Roman is a student at Bryn Mawr College. Even though it is from a college student, it is still a reliable source because the college professor has read and edited her paper. Gloria Roman wrote this paper, but got a lot of her information from other sources. To be absolute sure this is a real reliable source it would be helpful to go and research the sources she used to see what they are like.

I know this is a reliable source because the site that this paper is from is a big organization that specializes in biology. The main pages of the site are biology related but I found a page that talked about race in biology terms which I thought was interesting and useful.
