At least some of the time. The point about sexual relationships is that they in large measure revolve around, well, sex and physical attraction. By contrast, it is friendships that are much more contingent on shared values, language, culture, interests etc.
I have noticed this myself throughout the years. Plenty of British and American men marry Latina women, but those men often don't get on especially with Latino men. This doesn't necessarily only apply to inter-racial scenarios either. It can also apply to same race but different nationality scenarios. For example, dreadful series though Emily In Paris indeed was, one of the more perceptive elements of it was how it was the men who liked the eponymous star, and it was the women who didn't because they found her culture and values very alien.
