My name is Alexandria Cox, and I am a Barnard College political science major. I am writing my senior thesis about the experiences of mixed-race individuals in the United States. If you are of mixed race, I would appreciate it if you would respond to the following survey, which should only take about 10 minutes of your time. Please e-mail your responses to ac2033@barnard.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This research is being used for academic purposes only, and you will not be identified by name. All responses will be kept strictly confidential.<\/p>\n

Please fill out the survey in as much detail as possible. Again, this
is an anonymous survey, so feel free to be very truthful about your experience as a mixed-race individual in the United States.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above e-mail address. All responses must be received by March 31, 2005, to be included in the results.<\/p>\n

being classified as one race?<\/p>\n
