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.

agreed, I always see white people doing landscaping work in Knoxville. That's almost impossible to witness in other parts of the country.

Umm...have you been to Morristown? The Houston Chronicle and NYT both did articles on it because it has the fastest growing Latin@ population in the US. Knoxville and Morristown both have Asian populations (although I believe Morristown's has shrunk). Also, Knoxville has a sizable Middle Eastern population and even Coptic Christians.
And of course there are plenty of Greeks.
