If I liked someone it wouldn't matter to me what colour they were or where they were from. The only thing that might concern me would be culture and religious differences, particularly if theirs were more extreme than mine and especially if their family were very influential.
My friend married a Jewish lad. She is atheist in the extreme and he isn't devout, but his parents are very, very devout and there has been lots of trouble since they got together, especially when he decided not to take part in some of the Jewish celebrations. Now they've had a baby and not bringing it up in the Jewish faith, so even more trouble.
A most moving
film I once saw was, 'A touch of blue' about a blind girl who is badly treated by her racist mother (Shelley Winters). The girl falls in love with a black man (played by Sidney Poitier) who gives her a sense of self worth and as she's blind, she doesn't know he's black.
