As others have said it all comes down to intent. How can it be racist if someone finds the racial features beautiful and wants to try them on for a bit? If the intent is to ridicule then of course it's racist but I get no hint of that from what you've posted.

I also don't get why anyone would disparage cultural appropriation. This is the main method by which humans share and learn from one another. If some white guy falls in love with rap, why is that any worse than a black person taking up heavy rock? Was Jimi Hendrix bad? I think not.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
