How did race mixing become so taboo in American culture? How did it persist as a taboo for so long?

I don't know the specific answer to your question, but if you are interested in the history of racism in the U.S., Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi and Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life by Karen E. and Barabara J. Fields are both well-regarded books on the subject.
