In my experience, a pale skinned Indian from the same state would be their first choice for their child's spouse, rich definitely an advantage.
White European would definitely be second choice.
I nearly married an Irish man and my parents had no issue with his ethnicity. My family has a weird relationship with white people. They simultaneously revere them and look down on them.
Years later in my thirties, I asked my mum what she'd do if I wanted to marry a 50 year old black guy. She told me to stop chatting rubbish.
Unbeknown to us, at the time I asked this, my cousin who is my age (same cousin who is mistaken for white), had secretly married a 53 year old black guy.
I'm happy to say that no one in the family treats her kids as lesser for being half black.
