11. Race

These questions, 5 to 12 provide some basic characteristics about the individual; and are to be answered for all members of the population. (Enumerators assigned to institutions will be given special instructions for this and the following sections).

40. Question 11 - Race

Since you will be interviewing in general one member of any household, the race scored must be the race to which the respondent says he and other members belong. It is reasonable to classify all children of parents belonging to different racial groups as mixed. For example, if a Black man is married or living with an East Indian woman, their children should be classified as mixed.

Accept the respondent's classification. If you think you are being misled make a note in the remarks column of the visitation board.
