I was completely with you until you raised an argument about who was "created" for whom. I think that in general people will be able to form a deeper bond with someone with whom they share as much as possible, and race and race issues form an enormous part of our nonconscious attitudes, beliefs and ideologies. I would expect that most people will want to bond with someone who has similar experiences to theirs.
But people share different things, and if two people find a deep bond that is formed without regard to race, or through understanding arising from differences rather than arising from similarities, I'm not going to argue with them.
One love.
