It could be that they are more likely to have grown up and lived around people outside their own race. They might also have less rigid loyalty to members of their own race since lower income environments tend to rob a person of their identity. When a person already has a good life, or one as they prefer, their role in life becomes one of preserving what they have. But when a person is poor and dissatisfied, they are constantly reaching out to others. People of higher classes tend to be more independent and less needy, and many of the attitudes that sustain people in a poor environment actually hold people back in the longer run.

This could be asking about something else. They might be asking why lower class women date outside their race more. If that is the question, then it could be that such women have nothing to lose and will reach out to anyone. The more important someone feels, the more standards they have on the people in their lives. When you have plenty of friends of your culture who think a lot like you, and provide you the security and drama-free atmosphere that you prefer, and you already have a clique that is at maximum size, then why would you want to reach outside of your group when you have everything you need and want and adding more people would spoil it? When you grew up with healthy values that have proven to work for you, why would you want to adopt foreign influences in your life or change what works?

So a lot of it is not about racism at all, but people who are better off wanting to preserve what they have more. They may be less needy, and don't need others to lift them up, and they may feel that others below their social class will pull them down or squander their resources. So it is likely more about social class, culture and greed, not so much about race. It only seems like racism due to the unequal distribution of poverty.
