serge ibaka isn't african-american, neither are biyombo or luol deng, are they "other"?

I'm a little confused as to how they categorize certain people. For instance, are Spanish players considered White or Latino.

Ayon and Najera and Barbosa would be Latino players, but where would non-latino black international players be.

I'm starting to think that they put biracial and black non-latino international players in the same category as African-Americans.

Their doesn't seem to be any distinction made during the 1990's, it was almost all either African-American or White.

1994-95 is literally two categories, African American 82%, white 18%.

Which means that players like Manute Bol were placed in the African American category.
