The point of the graphs are to show where the non-white population is concentrated in America. I would point out that many identify with Hispanic or Latino while also considering themselves to be black, white, even Asian. More people identify themselves as Hispanic/Latino than black.
Personally, I "could" identify myself as Latino race because of my ancestry, however I do not. I check "white non-Hispanic/Latino". I do however identify with "Hispanic/Latino" issues more than I do with "Black or African American" issues for the same reason, my ancestry. Point being, Hispanic/Latino has more influence than Black strictly based on numbers. But again, the point is where that influence is occurring.
Well, if you would be concerned about the actual numbers take a look.
