That makes sense, but it means that discrimination does not always cause harm - unless you think that by not dating her the white lady is being harmed.

That's interesting. I was thinking that a preference is what becomes a form of discrimination. This is because I think that to have a preference you need to have some type of experience with whatever it is you prefer. However, if you get no experience, but still prefer it, it becomes discrimination. From what I know, people who discriminate do so because they have no real knowledge or experience with a situation, and once they get the experience they see that they discrimination had no base, but decided to keep it as a preference.
