I'd suspect that one of the reasons it isn't getting printed in a national source is a lack of sources. You can't just copy and past the same paragraph into an AP article.
If this really were true, I could understand people being upset if the issue became a "Music issue" That's not why they buy SI or the Swimsuit Issue. If it were about race I'd agree that it was stupid, but SI is, I would think, pretty racially diverse as a whole. This isn't a crowd that would freak out or that pays particular attention to Kanye and his views on biracial women. They mostly just want to see the women.

I don't think many people would be upset with a black girl on the cover, however that Kanye pic may bother some. Interracial stuff is still a touchy topic within both communities, and especially when it involves such a divisive figure as Kanye. However, I still think its probably a situation where Rose or somebody's source found out that a couple people had called and suddenly it was a "flood of calls."
