And reading what you said earlier , It's realistic to address the discrimination when he goes back in time. Also not everyone he meets in the past will be out and out racist . They'll probably be some surprised looks when he walks past them or something. If he's travelled to anywhere pre 1970 or further back of course.
As for the doctor's preference, it also seemed obvious to me that he was more interested in women especially in the Rose days . But I don't know what they did when Whittaker took over ?. I think he just sometimes let other kisses happen but I wouldn't say it was romantic.
