My topic is on biracial identity, particularly on half white individuals, with an emphasis on 'racial passing' and how their white half affects their personal identity.

An unresolved question in this area is whether 'passing' as white is an abandonment of the individuals other half or if it is simply a utilization of their available 'resources'.

Many scholars believe racial identity is influenced by the 'one-drop' rule which states that a single drop of 'non-white' heritage causes the individual to no longer affiliate with their white halves.

How does being bi-racial affect the opinion of 'white identity'?

The data I plan on gathering will be gleamed through interviews to try and gleam biracial individuals' relationship with their own personal identity.

Here is my hub site and my project site.
