Chakko Kuruvila, Matthai. "9/11: Five years later: TYPECASTING MUSLIMS AS A RACE." //San Francisco Chronicle// (2006): Web. 15 Oct 2009. [].

I got this article from [].
 * Source 2:**

 It is written by [|Beverly Daniel Tatum]. I believe this source would be reliable because she has many important certifications such as a degree in clinical psychology. Not only is she a professor at Spelman College, she is also the President there. She is an expert on race relations and the author of several books on this topic. Although she may be more focused on the psychological standpoint, I feel that her writing is beneficial to me in my research.

This interview (the parts that are relevant to my research) reveals information about how the media has contributed to racial stereotypes throughout a person’s life. The author gives insight as to why people might consider white as “the norm” and other races as “the other.” Finally, it gives strategies about how we can identify and control them.
