The outliers would be metros like Boston, Pittsburgh (which are heavily white), Honolulu (heavily API), L.A., Miami (heavily hispanic), and Atlanta (heavily Black).

Honolulu is one of the most well-balanced metros in the country in regards to Race & ethnicity as it is defined by the US Census.
...and there has been a huge shift as the share of Asian alone declines while the Hispanic/Latino and Black Populations continues to increase. For example, the Hispanic/Latino population is now larger than the Pacific Islander population in raw numbers and is the fastest growing ethnic group in the metro and state. Asian alone was around 46-47% in 2010 for Honolulu's metro and is now roughly 43%.
In 2019:
Asian alone 43%
Two or More Races (Mixed Races) 23%
non-Hispanic White alone 18%
Hispanic or Latino 10%
Pacific Islander alone 10%
Black or African American alone 3%
Native American alone 0.3%
