At first when she sees the Black Madonna she may feel racist in the fact that she's shocked that the madonna is black. She may also imply that she's a racist when she's talking with Zack and asks about what it would be like for a white girl and black boy to go on a date. When he kisses her, this further implies that she's wondering about racism and the impropriety of kissing a black man.
