I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here. So, because she hasn't played the leading lady role to any non-white actors other than Dustin Nguyen in Little Fish, that makes her a closet racist? I think you may be stretching there, big time. I have never seen or read any indication of Cate being that way inclined. You do realise that she's a UN global goodwill ambassador don't you? She's a very outspoken supporter of many social justice issues such as gay rights, women's rights, and in particular the rights and re-homing of refugees.
I think the fact that Cate and many many other white actresses in Hollywood haven't had the opportunities to star alongside non-white actors is indicative of a larger problem in the film industry. Unfortunately, even in this day and age we're still struggling with the representation of minorities in mainstream films, and especially when it comes to interracial couples. I struggle to think of barely any examples of interracial couples in recent mainstream movies.
On that note though, one actor I'd love to see Cate co-star with is Idris Elba because they're both brilliant and oh my goodness they would make a beautiful couple. I'm sweating just thinking about it, lol. I know that they're both going to be in Thor: Ragnarok but I don't imagine they'll have much screen time together unfortunately.
