This article takes a position and is thus problematic in its current form on neutrality grounds.  It does throughout and builds to, "The race concept remains fruitful for the study of historical events." It is lacking discussion that the concept of "race" itself is a serious contention among biological and other anthropologists; that "race" is widely held as a mere social construct and that historically the concept of "race" developed alongside ''racism''. And so forth. ---[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 13:09, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

:The article shows bias, but it also just doesn't read like an article about race ''per se'', but an essay on the interaction of race, class, and ethnicity in regard to United States government policy. --[[User:Eric Winesett|Eric Winesett]] 13:22, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
