The experiments were run in the US.
It would be odd if people all over the world were predisposed to dislike a skin color. Why would they?
It's not at all surprising when you live in a country where these sorts of racial cues are floating all over the place. What we are predisposed to do is to generalize wildly from anything we see or hear.
It would be odd, but I find it odd already when the blacks in the US are biased against blacks. There is still a possibility that such predisposition exists (not necessarily towards skin color, it may as well be towards facial features), as a random result of evolution. I am really interested to see the results of the test conducted in Africa.
