I don't deny that we all have preferences (appearance, social class, education, background, etc.) but to refuse a potentially beautiful relationship based on an issue with any of those would be a loss.

Refusing a possible relationship (that you'd actually want to have) because your social group would disapprove means you're letting the judgments of others control your behavior. That's not a race issue -- it's a pussy issue.
I disagree that declining to enter into a relationship with someone based on appearance, social class, education, background, or ANY OTHER reason would be a loss. I'd never date someone I found unattractive, period. You're saying that would be a loss, because I'm refusing a relationship based on an issue with his appearance? Even if that's true (I don't think it is -- it would be more of a loss for me to be unhappy with someone I didn't dig), who cares?
