 When it's prefaced by a description that amounts to "dress like a poor black person", that's a problem, and is bound to exacerbate the already existing animosity in the area, which gives the school a good reason to discourage such behavior. 
When you openly mock others, particularly those with whom there is preexisting hostility, you should expect that their getting upset is a foreseeable and reasonable consequence.
