I know some Cape Verdean/Hispanic or Latino combinations in the Boston area.
yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at lol.

the reason I brought it up is that I can't ever remember seeing African immigrants mix with any race but their own (and sometimes white)

I work with a guy who's father is African and his mother is Jamaican. It's funny because most people think of "mixing" as two different races. How much different than African and Jamaican do you get?

like Lucario said, Africans and Jamaicans have quite a bit in common. but actually, i've seen a lot of Africans mix with non-Hispanic blacks of other ethnicities. you'll see a lot of it in Houston, where the large Nigerian population tends to mix with American born blacks.

That is true. Escaped slaves, or cimarrones, went to the mountains in Jamaica. Alot of the culture developed in the mountains.

It is quite common to see Asians mixing with Whites. As for Brazil, it wouldn't surprise me to see that kind of mix. Alot of people in Brazil have mixed for years. And there is also a large Japanese population in Brazil, mainly Sao Paulo.

Kimora Simmons herself is of African-American/Japanese descent. R&B singer Amerie is of African-American/Korean descent.

Probably the least known multi racial group in the USA is the "Melungeons". The first waves of Europe arrived in eastern Kentucky and Tennessee in the 1750s they were really surprised to find hundreds of non Indians already settled in the area. DNA studies have showed them to be a mixture of Spanish, Cherokee, and African. Historians believe that a Spanish ship carrying Moorish prisoners may have crashed off the coast and the Spanish/ Moors moved inland and were adopted into Indian society (while remaining distinct). Later they would accept runaway African slaves into their population.
