Only my personal opinion this: It can be difficult to spend whole life with a partner from a different race as yours as there are differences in comfort levels, moral and cultural values, food habits. Is it all about curiosity factor or plain sexual attraction?
In Western societies, interracial relationships are common. However, it's a very serious issue for Adult Indian males (Unlike those from China, Japan, Korea) especially abroad, who are under society compulsions to marry within FAMILY arrangements. Marriage and spousal scenario in India is an over-complicated scheme of things if you seen Monsoon Wedding and Bride N' Prejudice.
If you are attracted interracially and want to go ahead, what ADJUSTMENTS you think you have to make in your lifestyle? I had been dating an Eastern European girl, and I'm confused about my choices. There are obvious cultural differences, and I really don't know how to resolve this dichotomy:

When two people are in love they can overcome anything. My ex husband was Mexican, and my current husband is Pakistani. My first marriage had nothing to do with cultural differences. He was a dog.

I'm contemplpating an interracial relationship myself, and 21st century or not, the word still exists, and some adjustment is still required.
Within the relationship, values need to match, regardless of skin colour. If your values don't match (and it sounds like they don't), then the relationship is doomed to fail for reasons beyond skin colour.
Looking into the relationship from an outsider's view, do you think you can handle the awkward questions that are abound to arise, especially in regards to more *ahem* adult matters?
These are the first things to contemplate.

i have the same problem with you, i am a filipina and is dating an egyptian for four months now. we can't say that love conquers all, because still some problem arises, e.g. religion, food habits and culture differences. what we did is to compromise, if we are together, we only eat the food that we both like, as to religion, we try to respect each other's and try not to talk about it, and culture, we are trying to adjust. it is just a matter of willingness to compromise and adjust. also, have the time to talk about your differences without arguing,..

WHAT?
What's race got to do with her personality. It's the 21st century. The word interracial shouldn't exist

it's just a matter of mutual exploitation!
