Using an electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures electrical activity in the brain, we recorded the brain waves of a predominately white sample of college students while they viewed 100 images of black-white interracial couples and an equal number of same-race couples (black and white).
We wanted to see what would happen in an area of the brain known as the insula, which has been shown to become activated when people feel disgust. In other words, would the insula of participants light up when viewing interracial couples?
We found exactly that: overall, participants showed a heightened level of activation in the insula when looking at interracial couples relative to looking at same-race couples.
Although the insula is not exclusively linked to disgust, taken with the results of our first study these findings suggest that people do tend to be more likely to experience disgust when viewing interracial couples.
If whites didn't want this, they'd revolt or protest, but they do the opposite

Most people including white Chad and Stacy don’t, but the betas and fat roasties know it’s easier for them to racemix than work out and be with their white counterpart
There is no mirror neuron for interracial couple. You can't connect with someone who doesn't look familiar to you or what you know.
The difference in skin tone and features alone is easy to be off putting to a lot of people. I find it difficult to differentiate white people, and also, I simply have to try my best to be natural around whites, there's a level of discomfort I cannot point out.
