If they were black, it would similarly be a black love story - but what do you think choosing to describe it as a black love story indicates?

There's a million different lenses to look through when describing a story or a relationship - the aspects we choose to point to (particularly unprompted, as was the case for the trolls) tend to indicate more about us than the story - particularly when they have no meaningful bearing on the story.

It indicates that it is a love story between two black people. You drawing attention to it as if saying "black" is some forbidden, taboo word / description is the problem.
