Yeah, I should have clarified. I don't think black hispanics and african americans should be classified as separate racial groups, but the two groups are definitely make up different ethnic groups. Different languages, food, perspectives on America (considering our status as 1st and 2nd gen immigrants), etc.

That said, a marriage between a black person from North Carolina and someone from Panama is about as remarkable as an white American marrying another white person from France. Inter-ethnic, yes, but not quite belonging on a chart equating it with interracial relationships.
