Davis, F. James. "Who Is Black? One Nation's Definition." //PBS//. 1991. PBS, Web. 11 Nov 2009. .

This article was taken from a book written by F. James Davis. He is a retired professor of sociology at Illinois State University. The article discusses the "one-drop rule," and many other terms involving mixed races. It talks about how different countries use the rule differently, and some not at all. The source was useful because the man has good qualifications, and he gives factual information, along with his own opinion. He seems to have a bias against the use of the one-drop rule in the United States.

Wikipedia Contributors. "Race and ethnicity in the United States Census." 11 November 2009. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, Web. 11 Nov 2009. .

This page was written by a Wikipedia Contributor. It discusses how each race is defined in the United States Census. It also shows the difference choices people were given in past censuses. It was useful because having the definition of many races according to the United States government was a good example. This article is mostly based on facts. It uses a lot of statistics and quotations, so there should not be a bias in the article.

"Gender, Sex, and Race." //OrangePhilosophy//. 28 May 2004. Syracuse University, Web. 11 Nov 2009. .

This article was a post written on a blog involving philosophy graduate students at the University of Syracuse. This student must have graduated from the school in this major. The article talks about the difference between race and racial identity. It cites Sally Haslanger, a philosophy professor at MIT. It also talks about the difference between gender and sex. It was useful in the parts where it talked about race, because no matter what race one's ancestors were, if they identify themselves differently, their biological race is much less important than their racial identity. The author seems to have a bias towards the biological factors of race, and their importance in a person's race.
