Question: I did an expirement on biracials!? Here is what I have came up with!?
I did an expirement , I went around and asked black and whites what they consider us biracials!. Almost all of the black people said,"I think they black!." The white people said,"We consider you guys biracial!." You see what I mean!. My personal opinion is that black people know they can't claim full white people so they go for the next best thing and claim the biracials because they want some European in their family!. It's pure psychology!. I thought that the whites would consider us black but the blacks are still holding on to the one drop rules or atleast the majority of them do!. BIRACIAL'S AREN"T BLACK, we are a race of our own!.
This expirement was conducted at my college and there were 50 blacks and 50 whites that were asked this question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't want to criticize Mcb because I think there are some valid points, but I think this may have some validity!.
Perhaps, if you described your methodology on a networking site and suggested that other people in other areas, following the same methods, did the same survey and submitted their results!. Then perhaps you can write it up and submit it for credit in a class, perhaps even publication!. Talk this over with one of your professors and see what he or she thinks!.
It's a good posting, and I gave it a star!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
I would submit that your "experiment" gave you results that are perhaps true for your college community but if you did the same experiment in different geographic locations, in different socio-econonic environments and with a cross-section of generations, you might find your over-all results different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
