My opinion is that her saying she finds rich and famous black men to be attractive isn't groundbreaking. She is an actress and not a doctor. Her parents won't disown her as she isn't in a conventional profession for her culture. I will agree that indian and southeast asian women are way behind the pack. That has been my experience as well (it mostly has to do with their families). I do, however, find indian/pakistani from the UK to be very open to dating black men. Marriage is another story.
My point is that this isn't groundbreaking. If she was in a traditional situation, with a traditionally accepted profession (as per her community), and interested in non-famous black men, then this would be ground breaking, but that isn't the case.
