She seems to have a lot of interracial roles on the screen.

I've said this here before, but it's not just about race, it's about money. The studios are out to make money, and the highest demographic of movie goers happens to be white males. Sex sells, so females that are attractive to the largest demographic of movie goers are going to get roles (how have the Megan Fox and Jessica Alba types built careers otherwise?). Zoe Saldana is considered sexy and highly attractive by white males, despite not being white herself. It also helps that she is considered a good actress and can thus be more than just eye candy.

Actors don't really have much of a say on the race of their love interest.
she comes off as a card carrying bed wench.
A "bed wench" was a slave woman who was raped by her slave owners. This new phenomenon of trying to equate consensual relationships between black women and white men to freaking slavery is creepy. And hypocritical. -

wow you sound so bitter, take a chill pill, what has Zoe ever done to you? It's so sad that some people have so much hate in them for a person they don't even know personally.
And FYI, Zoe has paired up with black actors on-screen before, several times actually, so it's not like she would only pair up with white guysand has it ever crossed your mind that she chooses roles that she wants and likes to play, and not what color skin her co-stars have? Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe it's just coincidence that most of the actors she pairs up with are white? FYI sometimes actors don't even meet each other until they start shooting for a movie or TV series, so sometimes they won't even know who their co-stars are until they meet on the set when filming starts. I believe Zoe mainly just chooses roles that interests her and ones that she personally wants to playalot of the times she probably wouldn't know who her co-stars are until she meets them.
And she has Hispanic heritage, she's Latina afterall and has lived in the Dominican Republic for many years, so of course she has a Spanish accent, I have some Spanish friends and they all say her accent is authentic. Are you Spanish or Latino? If not then how would you know her accent is "fake"? You might not like her voice but that doesn't mean her accent is fake.

Do you have something against Zoe or what? Because you sound so butthurt for such tacky reasons. Just giving my 2 cents. -

A black person cannot do blackface. Blackface was when white performers would wear black (literal black) face paint with red lips. A black person wearing a darker shade of brown foundation is NOT blackface in any sense.

a shade of brown? she put coats of black make up to make herself darker and put on a fake nose, instead of getting an actual dark skin actress to play nina. black people have said it was black face and colorism, so it's black face!!

Yes, she prefers white men in general. I also think that she's straight since we've only seen her date "men". I think she strongly believes in interracial relationship and loving whoever we like, so this choice is also a statement.

Only black American women have an aversion to dating IR and that is changing. So many black men have white wives and girlfriends but they don't get half the ire that black women with non black husbands. Most other black people of the Diaspora don't have those hang ups and neither do African women. The US is also the only country to have a one drop rule when it comes to race while Americans see race dichotomously.
Black women with non black men is common in the Carribean, Central America, South America and Europe. Only Americans seem to go in convulsions over the idea (especially black American men). -

I hate to say this but I think a lot of black American women don't want to date or marry other races because they are guilted into thinking that way by a lot of black men who think that what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.
