I'm a white guy who, despite having an ethnicity that sometimes has olive skin, does not. I am only attracted to white women who have white skin, not even olive skin. I've never dated a Latina, so why go even darker? Why waste their time if you're not attracted to them? It's a matter of taste and that's largely preprogrammed.
She'll also get a lot of honest answers that make her feel better, too. Don't think that everyone shares your bias or taste.

I have spoken to black women online from other countries outside of the U.S. Many of them are my hue and do not believe that there is any significant bias that impacts their dating options. I am beginning to think that this may be largely an American issue.

Really?
Well, the majority of Non-black men that I know that prefer black women were born in the 70's. And typically non-black men don't say squat about skin tone with the exception of the Halley Berry club and those that do have preference most likely prefer someone darker.

And you would be wrong

This is true for the most part. Probably one of the reasons Carribbean and African women seem to be more approachable to me then some American women.

Who knows what the issue is, OP. I might feel that bias exists because I am a dark skin black female and have experienced it. But I imagine there are people who get rebuked for being short or obese or having acne or red hair or being too pale in color. So it could be a lot of factors.

Our world is weird....

I will say that at least 85% of my white friends (mostly in liberal CA) either date or marry chicks that are just as white as they are.

This is about who you will be exchanging bodily fluids with, so it's a BIG problem that PC-ness has extended into this realm.

Do I have black, Asian, Hispanic or Middle Eastern friends and acquaintances? Yes, since I was a little kid. Would I date their sisters? No, and they know it, and we're still friends.

In fact, I have a black friend that has NEVER dated black women. He doesn't even like the Halle Berrys. Only one of the kids married another black person. For all the others, it's white only (since they are Creole). He doesn't like his own race. At least I do.

Answer: yes there is.

Proof: 32 years of life as a dark skinned black woman.

And you would be wrong
I have observed that non black guys who like black women tend to not really harp on skin shade. Although it's also true that some do have a preference for light, brown, or dark black women.

From my own experience, If the black guy is light, there's more of a chance that hue won't really be that important, but if the guy is dark, hue is usually at the top of his list and he is looking for someone significantly lighter. This is not always the case, but I have observed this amongst associates and friends.

This. ^^^^^ Rabbitluvr has it right.
I go by what I see. I hate when people get angry when you give yor perspective.
Most white/Asian/Hispanic men that i see don't find Dark skin African American women attractive.
