what does "into" mean here?
“Javier,” Freddy sighs. “At last we meet.”
Freddy has spun an enormous fantasy around Will’s best friend, based entirely on his name.
“You are going to be so disappointed,” I tell her.
She gives me a pitying look. “Jealous much?”
“He’s whiter than I am!”
“Please,” she scoffs. “You need to face the fact that my dusky Latin lover and I are going to
make beautiful, pan-ethnic love all week, while you’re stuck with the boring white dude. Again.”
“I’m not only into white guys!”
“Racist!” she sings. “Honky lovah!”

Richard has answered so I'll just give a few examples: I'm into classical music, horses, and chocolate.
This translates as: I love classical music and listen to it a lot, I go riding and am interested in all things to do with horses, and I eat a lot of chocolate and really enjoy it. (I think you'll agree it is much quicker to say I am 'into' these things!)

"I'm not only into white guys" means that the speaker also likes guys who aren't white.
"I'm not only attracted to white guys" would mean the same thing.
"Into" can have several meanings.
Like your example, if you said "I'm into her." it would mean you are "attracted" to her.
If you said "I'm really into that TV show" it would mean you really enjoy watching that TV show.
If you said "I'm going into the shop" it means you are entering the shop.
Hope that helps!
