(D) "Does Race Exist?. Bamshad, Michael J., and Steve E. Olsen." //Scientific American//. 17 November 2003. Web. 9 Nov 2009. .

This source talks about the scientific view of race. It is written by Michael J. Bamshad who is a professor at the University of Utah and they both are writers for the Scientific American magazine which in this article talks about race and how DNA and physical characteristics have an affect of classifying people into "races". It is very hard to tell if it is a bias because most of it has to do wih genes and and experiments rather than opinion although there maybe some opinion in there. Their scope would probably have to be on the side of that race is not true since a lot of their research does prove that race does not occur in genetics. They may view that it exists but not scientifically, but these statements may not be true.

(P)__Peace FAQ__. September 1, 1998. Yahoodi Communications. 10 October 2009. <[] > This source talks about the mixing of races if there is any and talks about migration a long with many other reasons that help answer my question. This website also talks about questions that can fluctuate ones decision about if race exists or not such as: can someone change race or their ethnicity by developing a new culture? This source is useful because it answers my question. It says in the first sentence that it was an anthropological term that is outdated. Although most of it may be biased many points to it created an answer that I believe is correct. It also describes that there are four sub groups of men such as Asians, Africans, Australoids, and Caucasian. Although it says this it also says that very few groups actually have this pure race due to so much mixing. This source could be bias but the answer to my question is very biased itself. There are many ways to argue and to disagree with this statement but the facts in this website have helped me create an answer. I was not sure who wrote this piece but was copyrighted by Yahoodi Communications which is a company that is very strong in race and the jewish religion which may or may not have an effect on this piece.

(R) "Rapid Immigration" __U.S. Immigration History__. 10 October 2009. <[]> This source talks about the first immigrants to the United States, and is very biased towards the opinion that the Indians were he first which may not be biased since there is a lot of information backing it up. It talks about how the Indians were the first inhabitants and talks about how the action of immigration has increased a long with the mixing of people. The reason it is of importance is because it brings up the point that many people and cultures have migrated for thousands of years (not to the amount as today which might alter the idea of race). Thinking about this may also bring the idea that were all from one sport or at least that is believed. We are all supposedly from Africa so therefore are we meant to be separated into groups and "races"? This source may have some bias areas but not enough to make it an unreliable source like the one above. This source is reliable because it comes from a site that looks like it is sponsored by the government. It is responsible for many forms and contracts that will help a person become a legal citizen in the U.S.. Off that point I believe it is a reliable source.
