I reckon you might be right about that last part, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere deep down in the human brain it just defaults to trusting the person who looks most like your parents/siblings/children/etc. Absent some other compelling reason/conditioning of course. I wonder if the melting pot doesn't deserve a reboot. Everything else seems to be getting one these days.
