It depends. Are you a single dude who's looking for a partner of a different race? Or are you already an interracial couple who's looking for a more tolerant area to relocate to? If you're single and looking it also depends on what your own race is and what type of guy you're looking for.
There are a lot of Asian guys in the larger metro areas on the west coast, particularly in Northern California and Washington. More Black and Latino guys in Central and Southern California, South Florida, and the Northeast (NJ, NY, PA, DC). Of course, if you're looking for white guys you can find them everywhere. But the ones who're more open-mind about interracial relationships tend to be in the larger metro cities with large gay populations like NYC (parts of it) and San Francisco. I would avoid the interior states, the south (especially Atlanta), and certain parts of the New England area.
My top ten list would look like this: (if you're a white guy who's looking for a broader variety of men to choose from)
#1. San Francisco, CA
#2. NYC
#3. Seattle, WA
#4. Palm Springs, CA
#5. Washington DC
#6. Philadelphia
#7. Newark, NJ
#8. Chicago, IL
#9. Fort Lauderdale/Miami, FL
#10. Los Angeles, CA
If you're looking for white guys, the list would be a little different:
#1. Providence, RI
#2. Boston, MA
#3. NYC (Chealsea area)
#4. Minneapolis (Twin Cities area)
#5. Seattle, WA
#6. Los Angeles, CA (West Hollywood area)
#7. San Diego, CA
#8. Chicago, IL (Boystown area)
#9. Miami, FL (South Beach area)
#10. Fort Lauderdale, FL

I dont know well enough on the actual research or situation to say that there is racism amongst the LGBT community RE race but what I do know is that, having to factor race in the equation to an already marginalized relationship to begin with (we are in the minority after all, if Kinsey's scale is to be believed) can only sadlle you and weigh you down even more. Race is definitely one of the strongest stressors in a relationship (that much i know from the research) and you have to face more obstacles than if you dated in a same-race relationship. Im not saying this to be racist, its just a fact of life that there are more things to consider when you date someone outside your race. That said, I'm also a "half-breed" (mixture of races) so anyone Im with will always be "dating outside my race". My partner and I are nearing our 10th year together and I have to say that it has been wonderful.

L.A. or San Francisco. We led the way in interracial marriage and led the way in Gay rights.

Southern California is usually very open minded, as is most of big city Florida. :)
