Mark Thoma has been linking to Daniel Little's great website Understanding Society. Little's last entry was on race. I would add:
Race can have real biological consequences even though it is a biologically incoherent system of classification; or rather it a system that produces the effects that can make it biologically meaningful. Some of the most interesting work on race is being done at the intersection of sociology and biology, but this is not your father's sociobiology-cum-racist eugenics. See for example http://www.bostonreview.net/BR37.3/anne_fausto-sterling_biology_race.php
