The Genetic Similarity Theory claims that parents of mixed race kids love their offspring less than parents of monoracial children.
Of course it is taking place mostly on a subconscious level.

This is caused by fact that a mixed race child has a lower genetic similarity to either of his/her parents than a monoracial child.

An ethnically mixed child is autosomally less similar to his/her parent, than any random member of this parent's ethnic group.

"Perhaps the most important conceptual breakthrough in On Genetic Interests is to recognize that loyalty to one’s ethny — Dr. Salter prefers this term to race, nation, or ethnic group — is just as valid biologically as loyalty to one’s children. This is because each ethny is a storehouse of its members’ distinctive genes, just as children are carriers of their parents’ genes. A person’s children are very concentrated stores of his genes, but his ethny is a vastly larger, though more dilute, pool of the same genes. Given the size of most ethnies, they are repositories of far more copies of a member’s distinctive genes than even his own children, and therefore have a theoretical genetic claim to loyalty even greater than that of his children."[6]
