A 1953 census revealed that only 30.5 per cent of the Cuban population labored in agriculture compared to the average of 55 per cent for the rest of South America (from the book Underdeveloped Countries by Ives Lacoste.

...mixed more black and white undergraduates, and it is now commonplace to see interracial couples strolling in college towns. The Peace Corps and Vista have been responsible for further interracial dating-and intermarriage. Social activism has established a solid common ground for white and nonwhite youth.
