B- For all persons
[Questions 9 and 10 were asked of all persons]

9. What is (the respondent's) ethnic origin?

Section B: For all Persons
Begin by saying, "I would like information on ALL people who stayed at this household on the census night. This information is on the names of the persons, their relationship to head of household, their age and sex, survivorship of their parents etc. It is important that you give me as accurate information as possible about each person".

Q9 Ethnic origin
You should not infer the ethnic origin from the surname because there are Africans with English or Asiatic names. African refers to any black person, European refers to any white person and Asiatic refers to anybody originating from the Asian continent, i.e. Indians, Chinese etc. Mixed will include all colored of any combination. Record what the person tells you. 'Other' refers to ethnic origin not covered by those specified on the questionnaire.
