She might also have religious beliefs that outright forbid, or greatly frown on interracial relationships.

I tend to agree with Agamemnon. While I won't rule it out, because who knows what direction fate chooses to take me, I can't really see myself falling for a black woman. Personally, I don't see this as a racial thing, but societal.

I believe the general aversion to dating people outside your culture/social transcends all races. Overwhelmingly, people choose to be with people from their own culture. Walk though any mall and you mainly see all white couples, all black, all latino, all asian, etc. It even breaks down further. I know a couple people who are strongly religious, and they will only consider people who practice the same religion.

There are all kinds of exceptions to this, obviously, but I wouldnt classify it as an overtly bigoted behaviour. Passively, perhaps.
