I'm white, and live in the South, so my advice not mean much to you. However, from my experience the only minorities who have trouble getting women are those who are too scared to ask. More often than not, in my experience, race is not an issue until they make it one. My Arab friend jokingly said he only dates white women, because they find him exotic. My black friend only dates white girls, jokingly saying he's sticking it to the man. While they occasionally get shot down, and even fewer times blame it on the racist card, everyone everywhere gets shot down. I'm sure Brad Pitt, Clive Owen, etc. all got show down countless times.
I can see how you would be mistaken as Middle Eastern by some people. I studied Middle Eastern Studies and I can't for the life of me tell from looks an Indian and a Pakistani. Only because I've heard so much Pashtu from my studies can I tell by language. Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese/Japanese/et al are generally fairly easy, but even then occasionally I can tell.
I like how you don't get mad about being mistaken by regions of heritage, when people complain about those things I push the mirror on them. I've never met one minority who could tell if a white person was French/English/German/etc by looks.
In the South I believe you are right, racism is worn on the sleeve instead of being held tight to the chest. The young generation you'll be going after, however, very few in my experience are actually against it at this point. Their parents might have an issue, but how many women have ever stopped liking a guy because her parents didn't? As my friends prove, to me at least, it's just not an issue to the vast majority of the young generation... and as someone said if it is an issue you wouldn't want to be with them anyways.
