Section IV. Personal Data.

Question 6. What is your skin color?
The purpose of this question is to know the skin color of the listed person, with the aim of carrying out demographic studies of the Cuban population.
For this we will classify skin color in three categories: white, black, and mulatto or mestizo.
As you can see, these categories reflect the thoughts generally held by the population and do not reflect the concept of race or ethnicity, only skin color without taking any other cultural or physical attributes into account.
You will mark the corresponding box as stated by the interviewee.
If any doubts arise you may explain these simple rules to determine the skin color:

White: Those people who, due to their skin tone, are considered white. This includes those with some Asian ancestry, but whose primary skin color characteristics are white.
Black: Those whose skin tone is dark brown or black. Mulatto or Mestizo: Includes those who present characteristics of a mix between white and black or Asian and black, as well as Asians. Include here those referred to as mulatto, Indian or albino.
