I don’t think its racist if she’s more comfortable being seen as a black person.
Biologically there’s no such thing as a black person or a white person really. Unlike gender where there are only two biological sexes, there’s a million different things biologically that could be considered black or white. You can come up with racial archetypes but most people will fall somewhere in the middle of them and any line you try to draw between them will be arbitrary. Basing whether a person is black or white off their appearance wouldn’t be accurate since the majority of genes don't manifest themselves visibly, a person could look very white but have the majority of their genes more similar to the black archetype.
If race is a social thing, and if she sees herself as black and other people see her as such then you could consider that as making her black.

The usual criticism of Dolezal from the left is of cultural appropriation which I don't buy, mostly because it implicitly ships with the prejudice plus power belief. It is true that many aspects of race are social rather than biological so I don't think there's anything that prevents a person from belonging to a race, in those social dimensions, other than the one they were born into. I do think that going to lengths to appear as if she had african ancestry was distasteful and frankly a little comic given this history of the inverse arrangement. So the natural analogy might be to sex reassignment surgery which I don't have any particular problem with. It's an interesting question, is "passing" deceptive? I do think at some point the answer is yes, like maybe you don't have a duty to disclose biological facts to everyone you meet but like in dating, attracting someone knowing they expect something one biologically isn't seems wrong. Likewise if one prefers the aesthetic qualities of another race it's permissible to adopt those but not to lie about your ancestry or mislead others beyond some point.
