As other people pointed out, imagine if a black fraternity had a "dress like rich white kids" or "dress like a redneck" party. I don't think there would be a single complaint whatsoever.
My school has no fraternities/sororities, but upperclassmen live in houses off-campus, typically 4-7 people in a house, and "house parties" dominate. Well, there was a "Thug party" where the costume theme was the same as this party. It wasn't Halloween, though. No complaints.
I think there are just some overly sensitive people. If the black group cares about racism, do they know how hypocritical it is for their student government group to even exist? Or how some of their members are probably getting a free ride because of a "Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship"?
Or the varying reactions you would get if this happened:
A white student saw a random black person crossing the street and yelled, "You nigger!"
A black student saw a random white person crossing the street and yelled, "You cracker!"
