The Email Survey

This is the email I sent out to people to respond to...

Hey guys,
As some of you might know, I am currently doing my last semester at school--the thesis semester. For my project, I am exploring stereotypes of Asian women; all different aspects of this in pop culture, the media, and our own day-to-day lives. I am interested in your thoughts.

The final form of the project will ultimately be in book form and I would like to incorporate your messages into the pages of the book. If you don't feel comfortable with me using what you say, that's fine. I would love to hear from you all, though--just let me know whether or not I can use your words in the book. Also, I may have to edit a bit to get things to fit nicely on a page or so, but I will send you a proof of it so you can approve or disapprove of the editing. I will let you know at all times what is going to be reproduced.

So I am asking for your thoughts.
These are a few questions to respond to, or if you would prefer to respond to images, I am including those as well.
Feel ok to be as honest as you can be. I am not looking for any answer in particular. Respond how you will. These questions are just discussion starters. Feel free to share your experiences. I will contact you if I am interested in using your responses.

Also go ahead and pass this email along to more people. Make sure they respond to this email address:
occidentalthesis@gmail.com

The more responses the better. It will be great to get your thoughts.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Go Thesis!

2. What has been your experience with stereotypes of Asian/Asian-American women? How has this affected, or not affected you?

3. How do you handle stereotyping?

4. What preconceptions have you had of Asian/Asian-American women? In what ways have they been validated or not?

6. Or you can respond to these images.
