Your race shouldn't be an issue, due to where i live I mostly game white girls. And I'm Hispanic (well kinda...Grandparents are the following: Chilean/Argentinean/Italian/French but I only know Spanish and English so there...) if your game is tight race shouldn't matter, the main thing is getting out of the LJBF zone which is probably not worth working your ass off over since you're doomed to fail and waste valuable time.
My suggestion to you is game other girls and forget your oneitis for now or at least try to not seem affected at all. If you can use your friend as a pivot so you can open other girls so at least the situation won't be so bad. Hell, tell her to be your wing. This is a false disqualifier and when she sees that other girls like you she may get a little jealous. I suggest gaming with her, maybe even tell her to act like shes your gf while you "talk to this girl", so you can now game both of them by starting kino with your "wing" and the girl you just met.
Hope that helps.
