Limited socio economic ladder, statistically different and often inferior family life, statistically poor education levels, severely high crime rates. Sorry, not racist to screen who your daughter dates.

My parents and their friends come from the hood and are very successful.
My, "Bull" was a response to you, "I've had crushes on have been non-Black women. And it doesn't stop there. There have been Black women of immigrant parents(Africa, the West Indies) who said that their parents don't want them to date African-American men. There are times when I find myself say "Man, we're despised by everyone, even foreign-born Blacks".
How people, women and their families, respond to you may not have anything to do with your skin color. I don't know you, but you have many criteria on paper many women would like. Sometimes rejection isn't about the reason men think it is. Sometimes men just don't know how they project themselves to others and aren't as great or as put upon as they think they are.
Honestly, I don't care and just responded to your post on a whim....
Well, sometimes when stuff like this comes up, I do wonder. I should have been more clear. There have been women who have mentioned that their parents would not want them to date African-American men. However, as far as flat out rejection goes, I was never told "sorry, I won't date you, I don't do Black guys". However, I can understand how that Yale student would feel. When I say "I've been the guy who had crushes on non-Black women", I was relating to this: I do wonder if I like a woman, who just so happens to be of a different race/or ethnicity than me, would her parents approve. Hearing such things, it makes me wonder about certain things and it is worrying.

I had a black professor teaching a diversity class. He told us about the time a white kid came to the door to pick up his daughter for a date. I relate his story...
"I was in shock. This was unexpected to say the least. I said 'son, do you know who I am?' and he said 'yes sir, you're professor xxxxxxxx, you teach in the black studies department at U of X.' I said 'well then you know I teach about diversity at the university, but we don't practice it here in this home!' and I sent the kid away."
We were all laughing our asses off. Fathers are fathers regardless of race!

I find this story more sad than anything. I find that the professor is a hypocrit.
