<p><svar a="all" v="CO93A411 CO93A412"><span class="em">29. Does [the respondent] belong to any ethnicity, indigenous group, or black community?</span><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />[Below the text is a form.]<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Mark the corresponding option in accordance with the response of the interviewed person.<br /><br />If the answer is "yes", mark option 1 and write the name of the ethnicity or community that they say they belong to.<br /></svar>
