You should bear in mind that excluding someone because of their race or skin colour is a violation of your Human Rights. So if you are rejected by an Amish community because of skin colour, wave a copy of the Human Rights Act in their face and threaten to sue.

The Amish-Mennonites and the Conservative Mennonites are said to be the most open groups of Amish and the communities with the most mixes of ethical races.
