I dunno I grew up in New England and I knew quite a few black people with Scottish/British last names. From slave names through Scottish missionaries backgrounds. Also Tan/light eyes/blonde hair/Scottish and/or British names describes no less than three different biracial black/white families I grew up with.

Also is this is a post-apocalyptic world that's lost quite a bit of land mass there would be a crap ton of migration to safe zones. Just because currently the App mountains are predominantly white wouldn't automatically mean that would stay the same. People flee conflict all the time and migrate.

Also I'm speaking as a Portuguese woman who is not olive skinned, but half my family is. I'm fair skinned and burn easily, but my mother and two of my sisters can get really tan.

I think it's ridiculous that people asking for more inclusive casts or pointing out that tan doesn't automatically have to mean white is considered pearl clutching or SJW.

I think it depends on the state for that comparison, though. I'm in NH and almost everyone is white; the only black people I know have distinct African names as well. In like Massachusetts though, I'm sure it's different.

Yes I was raised in Providence, Rhode Island and it was really ethnically diverse. There were a ton of black, white and Jewish kids in my elementary school. Then a lot of Ukrainian Jewish, Latino (especially Costa Rican and Dominican) Cambodian, Vietnamese and Laosian kids in middle school (many of them moving west by high school). In high school it was white, black, Latino (both island and South American and many of which were assumed to be black because they were darker skinned), some smatterings of different Asian groups and a lot of Jewish kids.

This was in the mid 80s through late 90s so I don't know what the current demographics look like.

Rhode Island and Massachusetts has quite a bit of diversity depending on what city/neighborhood you visit. When I lived out in Portsmouth (same island as Newport) all my neighbors were white.
