It's probably because wherever we get the pictures, the huge majority of pictures show white women. Also, I suppose majority of us is white, so we might be more attracted to white women and therefore post them more, but that's just a speculation.
Hmmm. Interesting question.
I think you're right twotothetenth, that the dearth of black women in porn has to do with the prevalence of white models/actresses. More than that, a lot of the porn that does feature people of colour (and not just black women) does so in a way that fetishizes race. For example, look at the way black men, or Asian women are portrayed in most porn - I think in many cases it's not the most healthy or empowering portrayal of racial identity. (to be fair, this criticism can probably be leveled at a lot of western media - there's still white actors playing Asian characters in hollywood films for crying out loud).
It could also simply be a reflection of market demand - if people primarily want to consume porn with white people in it, that's what's getting made. However, I'm not entirely convinced that the media we consume doesn't have at least some impact on our preferences.
The lack of people of colour might also reflect existing racial inequalities (especially with the way the west views conventional standards of attractiveness).
Maybe I've gone off the deep end. Who knows?
Not sure it's an easy question to answer. There's many different opinions about why we make the decisions we do, and how individual decisions impact broader society.

In any event, I wholeheartedly support your quest for more diversity!
