She is of a non-dominant racial identity, in the same way other fantasy settings refer elves, dwarves, orcs, and halflings as races. In the case of MLP:FiM uses ponies as the normative \\\"racial\\\" identity, with Bison, Cows, Donkeys, and Zebras as examples of other fantasy races . In the case of Zecora, her appearance, residence, and style of speech are designed to reference black African culture and spirituality. The fact that characters have to overcome their initial fear and prejudice against Zecora is just an example of the authors using the [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Racism]]. In fact, the Bridle Gossip episode is referenced in the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FantasticRacism/WesternAnimation Western Animation page for Fantasy Racism]] (which also supports the argument that in MLP:FiM the creators are using different species as references to different races).
She is a background character in the series with no true agency of her own. She does not go on adventures.
She uses her wisdom, knowledge, and skills almost exclusively in support of the more prominent characters. For the most part, she never actually fixes the big problems, but instead supplies the main characters with the knowledge they need to do so. There are over [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Zecora a half dozen episodes]] in which Zecora does this, with [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Duel Magic Duel]], where Zecora teaches Twilight Sparkle the magic needed to best Trixie, being the most blatant examples of Zecora playing Magical Black Person.
At this point it looks like people are just splitting hairs.
