As for white guys freaking over black guys getting with white girls:
This is basically human nature, more or less. Group of tribe A see their fertile charges fornicating with tribe B. Tribe A proceeds to get pissed. I'm sure when a black guy sees a hot black girl with a white guy, he doesn't start loving white guys either. Sex and bloodlines make for powerful instincts, especially when they mix. Yes, there's more to it than that, but to get all high and mighty about white guys getting protective of white women is pretty dubious.
As I said in my previous post in this topic, mere sexual competitiveness does not go far enough to explain the level of butthurt fuckery these men are displaying.
As for this bit:

Be less sure.
I'm at a school where you're probably more likely to see a black female/white male couple than you are the reverse. It is the only place I've been where I've encountered black females who simply do not date black men, much like most of the white/asian girls here. Of the 4 most attractive black girls I can think of on campus (4 being a decent sample size-blacks aren't abundant here), 3 hook up almost exclusively with white males, and the other has dabbled with them extensively. Go down the list to talk about other cute black girls on campus, and you're looking at a lot of mixing that takes place almost exclusively with white males-probably half of the female population here in total primarily sees white men. These types of couplings are common here, even though the reverse remains fairly rare.
I'm quite used to seeing this by now, and I can honestly say I'm not bothered by the simple fact that the men these women are with belong to "another tribe". I
am bothered by the fact that options for men who look like me (particularly those who lack lighter features) are so limited here, but the fact that these black girls have happened to be with white men in and of itself just isn't frustrating. They aren't "taking my women"-hell, those women really never belonged to me anyway.
This may sound cliched or idealistic to you, but I'm telling the truth when I say I
really do not care about their choice of a white male. That factor, in and of itself, doesn't bother me. The act of seeing white men with black women, in and of itself, doesn't annoy me. Seriously, not a single fuck given. I just cannot conceive of this visceral, primal ethnocentric anger you describe, it isn't in me. If anything, I'd
encourage more mixing of this kind (and we do see more now, especially in Europe-more on that later).
Granted, I'm used to seeing this. Of my aunts and female cousins, it is safe to say that a solid majority of them are with white and other non-black men, and most of the single ones date those men extensively and/or were married to them. I have uncles whose ethnicities range from Jewish to English to Egyptian, and aunts who cover the same range of diversity. In fact, my mother is probably the only one of her immediate family's generation (she has 3 sisters) to date exclusively black, and she's even more isolated when we count extended family members.
I go to reunions and see these couplings (many older, and many rather close to my age) all the time-I just don't react. This theory posits that I'm to be angered by the sight of "other" men with my female kin, but I'm just not. I can't relate to this feeling. I think I can honestly say that I would not be angered by my daughter bringing home a white male either, nor my son a white female.
I am just one person so I'll not extrapolate my own experience to everyone, but I will posit the following: when you say this is "more or less" a biological phenomenon, I am inclined to go with "less", or at the very least,
less than people (especially these people) think.
Your anger at the mere act of interracial coupling is going to be heavily influenced by your culture and your upbringing. Being an EU citizen and having relatives across the anglosphere (most are still in Jamaica or the UK or at least grew up in either place), I've already seen a large difference in the acceptance of interracial relationships by country, and I'm not the only one. Interacial dating, particularly between blacks and whites, is proably more controversial here in the USA than it is in Canada or the UK, where out-marriage rates are a lot higher for minorities of both sexes and interracial couplings have been legal for much longer.
Biology plays a role here, but it does not explain anywhere near the total of this madness. There is absolutely much, MUCH more at play here.
