29. Does the person belong to any ethnicity, indigenous groups or black community?

29. Does [the respondent] belong to any ethnicity, indigenous group, or black community?

This question refers to the cultural membership of a person to any indigenous group or black community, not to their physical features or to the color of their skin. It is defined exclusively by how they recognize themselves; that is, because the person recognizes themselves as such.

Because of this, you should ask the question to all persons even if with a simple look it seems to you that you can define them.

[Below the text is a form.]

For example, if you find a household formed by persons with black skin, you should not mark the option 1 "yes" based on the color of skin of these persons; always ask the question, since they well could answer that they do not belong to any black community.

Mark the corresponding option in accordance with the response of the interviewed person.

If the answer is "yes", mark option 1 and write the name of the ethnicity or community that they say they belong to.
