I trust that you don't actually mean to suggest that Peter and Steven can't stand for those things until they prove it by loving someone whose skin color is 80% darker than their own, or that say, a dark skinned hero can't be a paragon of human decency until he loves someone whose shade is 80% lighter? Just because they haven't shared their lives with women of ethnicities in apparent contrast to their own, doesn't mean they're against doing so. I don't care if Parker's next love interest is negroid, and I also don't care if she's, once again, caucasiod; you don't exactly decide who to fall in love with. I suppose you could argue that the writer's can decide for them, but a character's historic lack of variety in that area shouldn't necessitate that variety.
