Race: The Power of an Illusion, Erin Goldberg Post 2

So in my African American history class that I took a couple of semesters back we had to do a website critique. One of my classmates critiqued a website based off the PBS series Race: the Power of an Illusion. Although I have never seen the series myself (although I'd really like to), the website itself offers some really cool information about ethnicity, race, society, class and much more. If you guys have the chance, you should definitely check it out. There is one section where you can arrange people according to the ethnicity you believe they fit in (ex. Asian, Hispanic, white, black). It gives a different perspective as to how we look at people and how they self identify. In general, the website just offers a lot of cool information. I'll post the link below.
