In this sort of context, I'm pretty sure no one is actually offended.
Two cases:
1. tanning or bronzing your skin and putting on a glittery dress and a curly wig to look like Beyoncé. Absolutely OK.
2. Blackening your face and walking around with a bucket of KFC and watermelons not OK.
Edit:
I understand that people can feel uncomfortable due to the historical context with "black face".
But I've always felt that there has to be some kind of common ground. A white person dressing up as a black person can be done right, that's my opinion. For instance people were outraged over Downey JR portrayal of a black man in Tropical thunder, I thought it was pretty funny because it was done right, despite the fact that he was portraying a sort of black American stereotype.

Why should there be common ground? That doesn't make sense to me. Ok you've shat on black people for decades but as common ground we'll allow you if its in good humour? How exactly is that even remotely common ground?
Next thing you'll say is how you don't understand why they removed the golliwog off the jam jar.
Is there any respectable way for a white person to dress up as a black person?
Mate if i wanted to dress as superman do i need to make my skin white to do it or just wear the costume?
What if you want to dress up like Morpheus?
I remember a guy in uni doing Mr T for Halloween, gold chains, dungarees, black makeup and even shaved his head into a Mohawk. It was a good job.
A lot of people were a bit shocked by it but Mr T was clearly the best and most recognisable character in the A team and I'm pretty sure race didn't enter the guys head. He just wanted a good costume.

If you want to dress up as someone for a fancy dress its always best to choose someone known for suiting up in a certain way. For example if you wanted to go as Steph Curry (thought i'd use a basketball anology as you said you're a fan) you could get their shirt with the number 30 on it. You could attempt Morpheus but may get called Neo if you're doing the whole black leather jacket and black shades look but who gives a fuck better than looking like cunt with a blackface.
Superman was white so it wouldn't hurt for a realism and problably a muscle suit.
I'd like to understand how someone who has never engaged in any racist behavior in any way could be victimized for dressing up as their hero and making their costume look as realistic as possible.
I have no respect for any fancy dress outfit that isn't a gorilla or Jimmy Saville.
Is that you as a gorilla or Saville?
Thinking about it, I'd also include that massive chicken that Bernie Clifton used to ride. But that's it.

Do your costume as realistic as you want as long as you dont do a blackface. What's the problem?
Given how much skin lightening and hair-straightening Beyoncé does, it isn’t that hard to get a happy medium
Asking for a friend?
I can’t recall many of my own social circle blacking up.
Once when a couple of mates went to a London Underground themed party as ‘Blackfriars’ So wore the monk habit and then darkened their faces with what looked like boot polish
That was fine obviously
And maybe 20 years ago as The Jackson Five
But times change
I did it 5 years ago as 'Mr T' at a fancy dress party, not really thinking it through due to significant daily alcohol, divorce and depression. I won first prize though!!

Should you ever choose to follow suit, it would be remiss of me not to point out: 'Shoe polish contains [bcolor=transparent]chemical substances [/bcolor]which can be absorbed through the skin, or inhaled. When handling shoe polish, one should ideally wear gloves, and stay in a [bcolor=transparent]well-ventilated [/bcolor]area.'
It might not have been shoe polish. I was too mesmerised by the result to enquire about the method and materials used
But they’re retarded anyway so no harm done
That was awesome. I'd love to post the picture on here but I will refrain.
Walking in the party throwing Bars of Snickers at people too. Boss.
Even retards can become further retarded due to extraneous factors. There's only one true way to find out. @Dreambeliever
I used to work with a bloke who used to boot polish his head. To look like hair, not a Harlem Globetrotter.
Sad story, a young lad out of the office was pulling his Mrs on like a trusty seaboot, he lost it.

Hang on, what? Polish his *head*? Was there any hair there?
How would that even work?
Google ‘Jack’s Creation’
That wasn't the famous "cherry blossom" at Plesseys in Edge Lane was it? Not sure he had a missus though, so probably not
It could conceivably disguise thinning hair, as the darkened scalp would blend in with the remaining hair. The chemical absorption would also go directly to the brain, cause blurred vision, which would only add to the bald fucks perception that it was working.
I remember the doco with Jack's creation. No, it wasn't him but it was similar. He had a Bobby Charlton which he embellished with boot polish. Looked ok from half a mile away, less so when close up where you could see the beads of sweat sitting on the wax.
@tombrown no mate, wasn't Plesseys. I applied for about 20 jobs there and never got it. Like Ferranti, whoever the fuck they were.
