How do I bring up, and work on the fact to my therapist? (She's a person of color.)

She's also from a different state and has talked to me about feeling
like she doesn't fully fit in in yt circles, and asked me how strongly I
identify with the culture and values of my area

Get a new a therapist. idk why in the world a therapist would be dumping this on their client. You are the one is who is paying for help..... This just strikes me as super unprofessional. These are feelings she can share in relationships that are outside of a therapist-client setting, not with a client??

but I do not want her to feel uncomfortable.

therapy is not about the therapist feeling comfortable. It is literally the therapist's job to hold space for their client and not be judgmental towards the client so the CLIENT can work through their feelings and issues. and if your therapist isn't comfortable around white people because she can't stop herself from being judgmental towards them, then she shouldn't be taking them as clients....
