Not a race of people, it refers to "presence", the physical size of the person. Actually more about height than weight. The phrase refers to the fact that most women want a man who is big and strong.

Is the word dark an adjective?
Yes, "dark" is usually an adjective. It is a word that describes (tells us more about) a noun. The opposite of "dark" is "light" and it too is an adjective. So, for example in a sentence: It was a cold and dark night. (Night is a noun; cold, and dark, are words that tell us more about it.) But there is also a time when "dark" can be used as a noun: Are you afraid of the dark? "The dark" is another way to refer to nighttime, when it is dark outside; if it's used like that, "dark" is a noun. Otherwise, and much more commonly, if it's describing something, it's an adjective.
