They're dominant because they're highly noticeable. People simply notice hair and eye color more than nose structure or earlobes.
Amoral and immoral are entirely different ethical statements. A mother may wish to avoid question regarding the origin of the baby so as to live a "normal" family life. Not good, not bad, just an issue she doesn't wish herself or her child to deal with.
You may be surprised when viewing official racial demographics then, since "Black or African American" is very much a racial designation.

How far away do you have to be to spot whether someone has earlobes of a particular shape or a nose of a particular shape?
You're wrong.
As regards demographics, you're wrong there as well. That isn't the definition of race you were using, or the one you presented. That form is asking after origin and self-identity (that is why there is a separate slot for 'hispanic').
Again, define: would be instructive.
eg: Race is often seen to be an arbitrary, socially constructed category. This is not to say that there are not differences between people, but that the means by which certain peoples have been distinguished, categorized and subordinated across history, are usually spurious.
