Funny, why does it work where I live?
Really, the only reason why this seems to be a problem in the US is because "interracial marriages" are not as numerous as they could be. As Brian (BoJingles) stated, this distrust is cultural rather than genetic. Have you ever heard of a racial uprising in Brazil? I doubt it, most people that look European have African genes and vice-versa. And the Native Brazilians have their share in the gene pool as well, we banged them before they vanished.
I, for instance, can trace my ancestry to all inhabited continents in the world, except Oceania (I'm counting North and South America as one single continent, by the way) and this is pretty much the norm here. The only kind of distrust you're likely to find here is with foreigners, even if they share a common genetic background.
The "it's not working" bit? I don't buy it. At all.
