Choosing a topic for this documentation was hard but choosing a particular person from a different racial background was even harder. A Caucasian female with blonde hair was a start to this process, but finding a person that was willing to talk about their race or their background was hard. Mutual friends are what helped determine the perfect female for this particular project.

The media makes it seem as if Caucasian females with blonde hair have a lower IQ than any other Caucasian female of any other hair color. By asking this particular individual questions related to what the media might think of them could go well or it could go the total opposite. This individual might totally disagree with the media and voice their own opinion. Last but not least another barrier that could be faced when approaching this individual is the lack of communication. Short response or no response could lead to a dead end when finishing out the rest of the interview.
