What is your ancestry or ethnic origin?
¿De qué descendencia es usted?
This question elicits a quick response from respondents. After probing, respondents reported
interpreting the word descendencia in different ways: many said they reported the country where
they are from, others reported the country were their parents are from, some said they thought of
their ancestors’ race (white, Spanish, Indian), and some thought the concept referred to linguistic
heritage (Spanish).
