East TN is very Scotch-Irish for the most part.
Decent amount of Germans behind that
Arkansas is very similar, with the highest percentage of Germans being in the North and NW areas. Lots of bleed over of Native American blood in western Arkansas, too, just because there are so many in Oklahoma. Lots of African Americans east and SE of Little Rock.

Same situation in East TN considering it's the same tribe. Although, it's more common in the older generations then it is today. My papaws mom dukes was 50% Cherokee and of her 4 kids, 2 look like her(High cheek bones and that Redish Native American skin with jet black hair) and 2 look like their dad(Scotch-Irish). But, outside of some of the Mountain communities it isn't as prevalent as it was even 50 years ago. For the most part you're either white or black in East TN. Very little asian or hispanic populations to go with it.
