I wish I still had the link to an essay that explains this better but for black females, being "the love interest" is a a step-up and comparatively rare in non-niche films. In the totem pole of attractiveness according to Western society, we are at the bottom. Sure, there is a level of sexual attractiveness attributed to us but viewing us as a beautiful female to be cherished/respected? Not so much. Add to that the fact that a woman's value is still by and large tied to their attractiveness and you understand the mindset behind why they don't cast us in those roles very often or at all. So to have a black chick as a "love interest", aka a valued female who's attractiveness is acknowledged,in a mainstream film is pleasing.
Plus, Uhara was shown to be exceptionally smart, caring, and to have a personality, making her IMO to be a character rather than just "a love interest".
