I wouldn't call it fundie, just shallow on the author's part. From what I've seen, women of every type have their admirers (just as men do; for every, say, 'awkward nerd' out there, a woman likes that). The problem is when men and women alike pass up compatible persons with similar interests and complementary personalities in favour of physical attributes in someone far less compatible.
Granted, no one should date someone they find overtly physically unattractive - at least not until they're genuinely over appearance and instead have deep attachment to that person as is.
(The wankers who go on about 'sexual strategies' and make overtly insulting, bullshit claims such as that women have only one kind of leverage looks - are either bitter divorcees who fail to see how it usually takes two to bork a relationship or they're 17-year-olds who are in their nihilistic or "me first/only" phases.)
As for racism, people like the types they like. There are a gratifying many biracial couples, which show tribal considerations and family pressure are holding less sway among some. But picking someone who looks, and perhaps believes, most like yourself makes a certain amount of sense.
I have a problem with people who, though they're correct that individuals should be judged as such, insist that others make what I choose to call “PC” choices in their love-lives (and this includes people who think gays should date the other gender for the optics of it). Being a fair person is good. Choosing what you hope will be an enduring, intimate relationship requires enough personal honesty, however, that it's better to choose a mate and vice versa based on a compatibility of traits.
