Interviewer instructions

Question 9 - Ethnic group or color

The Box corresponding to the respondent's declaration should be marked, with no interpretation by the Enumerator, considering, however, that yellow only applies to persons of Oriental origin and their descendants. Do not consider as yellow any [p. 60] person who has yellowish skin due to some disease, such as malaria, hookworm disease, etc.).

The term Indigenous applies not only to those who live in native villages or reservations, but also to their descendants who live outside such places.

The Box - Brown (Parda) - will be marked only for declarations different from white, black, yellow or indigenous, such as mulatto [mixed black and white], mixed white and Indian (cabocla), mixed black and Indian (cafuza), mixed white and Indian (mameluca), etc.
