In the South, African-American becomes dominant in this map when black % gets above 25%. Anything below that is going to be American, except when we get to places like say, the northern suburbs of Dallas, where most of the settlers are actually German (through other parts of western Texas or other parts of the country.
Anyway, in the South this occurs, because as Alcon notes, too many whites will identify as Irish or Scottish or Scots-Irish to screw up the numbers.
Actually, I should note that Montgomery and Galveston counties are not dominant German as an Anglo group (or Brazoria County being dominant Hispanic). Also affects a number of counties west of there, though Germans are more dominant there than in east Texas. Anyway, that's also because of vote-splitting.
One other Texas thing. Just do a visual comparison for a second...
