It is all about taboo. Most psychologists don't believe in porn addiction and one large meta study found that people with reported problems have little to no correlation with their porn usage but a high correlation with moral incongruity. Essentially speaking, a traditional addiction model would say, use more of x, get addicted and you will get more problems. But with porn, how much you use isn't doesn't seem to reflect problems, but moral incongruity, moral conflict between your views versus your actions, seems to be a better predictor of issues.
Erotic taboo is like a biting lip that says no but means yes. People think that guilt and shame are good drivers to change behaviour, but when it comes to erotic taboo, guilty and shame often drive things. People feel guilt and shame, are driven low, indulge in fetish and kink, feel high, post-nut clarity hits, they feel low. The addictive feeling is the highs and lows of the guilt/shame cycle, the good feeling is found with the stark difference between the two And the lows are part of that moral incongruity.
Fetish and kink are ultimately the labyrinth path people take to feel "safe pleasure" even when it is contradictory. E.g. anonymous sex is "safe" in terms of reputation fallout but unsafe in terms of risk of things like STDs. Interracial fits a load of cultural ideas from the United States and as the United States is a cultural superpower that gets exported. The fetish encompasses everything from cuckoldry to submission to humiliation etc. Racism, other ideas, just feeds it. As a fetish it would easily be beaten by people simply taking it less seriously but people work themselves into a frenzy with this stuff, which is why they get the problems I mentioned in the first place.
