The comment about Boston was not directed at you, though I could see how you were confused. Here it is:
Ah. Missed that post. Can't argue with his argument, he has more experience with those groups than me. But people usually can distinguish between blacks and latinos, even if they often live in the same neighborhoods they usually have different cultures. Though apparently there's a lot of overlap. And many hispanics look black. Saw this festival at a neighborhood park in Boston. Many participants looked black at first glance but then it was soon obvious they were hispanic (and from the music). I assumed correctly they were Dominican.
Besides KSU, as opposed to Lawrence and KU, many from Fort Riley live there. I haven't checked the map how does Riley County on the other side of the base stack up?
Wait a minute Kansas State is in Manhattan, Riley County, Geary has Junction City which is the dogtown with a higher soldier residence.
Oh, my bad. They're so close, I was confusing them. Manhattan does have a higher amount of Asians for Kansas, due to the university setting. Don't know if that means there are a lot of white-Asians in Manhattan.

I remember when I was serving even though we had 10 times the numbers of soldiers in Germany than Korea and you served a long tour in Germany versus a year in Korea there seemed to be more Korean wives of GIs than Germans. That many vets buy a home near one of their duty stations would leave many mixed race and under general American single drop rules, thus Asian kids in the vicinity of Fort Riley. Being an easy drive to Fort Riley there was a significant number living east of base in a college town versus southwest of the base in a meat packing and shipment town where the bars (clubs in Kansas), hostess clubs, rent to own, trailer parks and prostitute stroll were.
I agree. Here in CO, many young adults have no parents around either, which may make it easier.
My state (CO) has the third highest inter-racial marriage rate, 22%, bested only by OK (23%) and HI (48%).
What is that first chart in the second link trying to say? Could you explain what those numbers for Colorado mean?
I am shocked that in Boston "black" also means Hispanic. That's not the way it is in CO. Also, in CO, the white/Hispanic marriages seem to be mostly white women to Hispanic men.
Even though there aren't a lot of blacks in Colorado, it seems that in Denver anyway, there are a fair number of black/Hispanic couples.
There's almost no African American Male and Caucasian Female sexual relationships in Oklahoma and Hawaii what occurrs there is Native ( Indian ) American females and Caucasian Male sexual relationships and in the case of Hawiia it's mostly solely Asian Females and Caucasian Males.

The earlier posts were on interracial marriage, not black-white marriage, the rankings weren't meant to be specific to black-white marriage. Anyway, Colorado has a similar rate of black-white (2.0% of marriages for Oklahoma, 2.1% of marriages for Hawaii). Link doesn't have gendered stats, but most interracial marriages in Hawaii are not white-asian: 42% of marriages in Hawaii were interracial, 8.6% white-asian so only 20% of interracial marriages.

So I assume that Pacific Islanders are considered a different race from Asians? And they are not politically linked as they are on the mainland where it would be considered interethnic

Keep in mind that Hispanic is an ethnicity that can/does include many races. So, many if those people are Black as well.

Not too surprising. Generally speaking, the larger the Black population, the less mixing there seems to be. Boston, I believe, is probably higher for an East Coast city not only because it's Black population is smaller, but also because a number of Dominicans claim Black ancestry along with something else.
