Is there any evidence that this has ever explained anything, or is it just racism? Seems like it's the go-to argument of some people to explain away just about any situation where some other country has something desirable and the US doesn't. "We can't have nice things because black people"?

No it’s not because of Black people - it’s because when you don’t have racial homogeneity, people are worried about “them” taking advantage of the system.

It’s a lot easier to be generous to people who “could be their child/relative”. You see the same thing in the justice system.
