I wont dispute that. However to claim that this is due to a prevalent belief of biological superiority amongst the "white" man is quite.. well it's just down right foolish. Have you ever thought that the reason such relationships are so rare is that there is an eminent culture clash that deters such relationships?
After all.. Polish-Irish relationships are hardly that common. Probably statistically less than your %5. Not because of some sense of biological superiority and all that jazz.. but because of the simpl culture-clash. Such culture clashes are still evident in the "white" American population or rather were up until the post-war era. WASPs stuck with WASPs, "micks" stuck with "micks", Polaks stuck with Polaks and sore forth.
Edit: I will note however that generally one will be attracted to what is most familiar. But this does not lead to a sense of superiority. Simply familiarity.
