The last time I looked into this, the 'general' consensus was that dressing up as a stereotype in general was bad, blackface 'in general' was bad, but there was always an oddly dividing line about dressing up as a specific person of another race.
There doesn't seem to be an overall consensus yet on if it's "ok" or not, but the general thought seems to be coming down on the 'ok' side, since you are trying to be a specific person, and not a stereotype. However which way it goes, I'm pretty sure that someone would get upset about it, though.
