But I guess you can't have it both ways - if Black and black Hispanics should indeed be two distinct racial groups it would be a bit arbitrary to say marriages between them aren't interracial, no?
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.
At least here in Mexico, no one will think at themselves as black. May be the term should be hispanic non white
