In this country, people come from a lot of different cultures and there are many different words to describe the different backgrounds or ethnic groups that people come from. Some examples of the names of racial and ethnic groups are Mexican-American, Hispanic, Black, African-American, White, Caucasian, etc. Every person is born into an ethnic group, and sometimes two or more groups, but people differ on how important their ethnicity is to them, how they feel about it, and how much their behavior is affected by it. These questions are about your ethnicity or your ethnic group and you feel about or react to it.

Use the numbers given below to indicate how much you agree or disagree with each statement.
