Lyric discussion by DontBannMe 

kim deal said in an interview that is was about a white girl in the 1950s dating a black guy which was frowned upon back then, and all the people that ridiculed them

This was absolutely my impression (what Kim said) when I first heard the song. It's about a racial cliche. It's lyrical content is similarly themed to Neil Young's "Southern Man". I don't think there's much doubt. This one's pretty clear. He wrote about stereotypes, in addition to Biblical, pagan & environmental issues, violence and the general degradation of culture,etc.
