Not everyone agrees with you. Costumes that are perceived as racist and so-called cultural appropriation is so massively subjective, that regardless of what you do, you're bound to piss someone off.

People are accusing a popular beauty blogger of cultural appropriation after she wore an afro as part of her Halloween costume
I think staying away from the obvious (black-face) is a good idea. But regardless of whether you think that XYZ is harmless and not racist, there's bound to be someone who thinks that it is. So I get the frustration some people have where this issue is concerned. In some cases, many think that the accusations of cultural appropriation & racism are very over the top...and in some of those cases I agree.
