I haven’t read all the comments yet, so forgive if I repeat what someone else has said.

If #9 in 1961 actually meant “other non-white”

then explain how they got from “African” to #9 (other NON-white)

when Africa had many WHITE people living in it in 1961.

“African” tells nothing about race, so how would anyone like the perfectionist Ms. Lee ASSUME “non-white”?

Of course, and even moreso in a place like Hawaii, which is both familiar with a vast array of races, ethnicities and nationalities compared to, say, Helena Montana or Burlington Vt where a foregn black from Afrca might have been a bit of a novelty in 1961.
