What's interesting is that hispanic/white marriage is rising more then black/white. Even though hispanic/white is more cultural mixing as opposed to racial.

Two points.
It can't keep going up for ever, a slow down is inevitable.
It's not racist or "wrong" to only be attracted to ones own race/culture.

Ahh, got ya.  I think this could be due to the range of what is considered hispanic. 
According to the census my wife is considered hispanic (Puerto Rican), but she comes from several generations of New Yorkers, grew up speaking english and looks about as white as me. Neither of us would consider our marriage to be interracial.

Oh I agree, it's more cross cultural if anything and lucky you. Wink

Are marriages between Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Whites "interracial"?

American Indians may be considered a different race.

As WillK said you have many Hispanics in this country who have been here for generations, many of whom speak little if any Spanish. 

Also interaction might be part of it.  The Hispanic population in Nassau County is 13%, African American 11%, so its pretty close to one another.  However, you are likely to find more areas that are majority African American than Majority Hispanic, but will also see more areas with a sizable Hispanic population than sizable African American population.

West Virginia is a lilly-white state so it's not surprising that they are at the bottom of the list (same with Maine).

OTOH, Mississippi and Alabama show once again that they have a looooong way to go.

And Pennsylvania, WTF?

Yes.

But unless i'm terribly confused, hispanic is not a race.
I don't really know if it's counted as a race in the US.

It is, for some strange reason. It makes as much sense as calling someone from India a different race then an Italian. Both are Caucasians but of different hue in skin tone. From what I understand Hispanic was created at a time when the government policies were regressive towards non-lily whites.

Yeah, you got a problem with that?

My father's mother was half Comanche half Irish.  I don't really brag about it to other people because I just don't give a sh*t.
