Critique on Racism

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? yes each fact is referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference. Each noun has a link to another wikipedia link that discusses on that particular subject.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Yes,everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. One thing that distracted me was color blindness. I took it in the literal term, but realized it meant disregarding someone because of their race.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? For the most of the article was neutral. There was no claims or frames that appear heavily biased toward a particular position. It talked equally about each race.

Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? All the information comes from around the world. Some of the sources are in different languages. I feel like it’s an equal amount of each race inputing their definitions on racism.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Yes. A viewpoint that was overrepresented was white supremacy. Such as how a typical white man would own land and slaves.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Yes the links work.No there’s no close paraphrasing. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? No I don’t believe the information is out to date. There’s information from the 90’s till now. I believe that everything that needs to be said about racism is on this wikipedia page.
