Interviewer instructions

5.43 Question 1.4: Race/ethnic origin

Read the alternatives on the questionnaire and score the relevant position. Some respondents might appear confused by the question, but you might want to remind them of our motto "Out of many one People". The motto was selected because our ancestors came from several parts of the world: namely, Africa, India, China, Europe and the Middle East. Accept the respondent's reply. If you feel that you are obviously being misled, do not contradict but make a note in your visitation record.
