'Among' is used for more than two things while 'between' is used in case of two objects.

Between must be used to connect 2 entries; among is used for more than 2.
Between...and is idiomatically correct.

I think the confusion between "between" and "among" arises because the question says "blacks" and "Hispanics", which technically are not singular terms. However, in this case, they are. A correct "among" usage would be: ...among the black and Hispanic populations.
