I believe race-lifting is terrible no matter what races are involved. White-to-Black and Black-to-White are both equally bad and questionable. The only exception being if in a live-action adaptation of something an X color character is played by an actor of Y color, and only if the actor's acting skills justify it, but not when it doesn't work in the context.

As for why Black-to-White lifting gets more fire than White-to-Black, for comparison's sake...well, White is already the "dominant race", in a way, since most people are white and non-whites have generally been treated as inferior throughout history. As a result, while both things are racist, changing a Minority character to a Majority, such as White, is seen as far more racist.
