It's pretty simple really. It's generally ok, as long as you're not punching down. It's similar to modern attitudes to a lot of sensitive topics.I think as long as the portayal isn't meant to belittle an ethnic group or an ilness or a mental condition it's fine. Daniel Day Lewis played a profoundly disabled man in My Left Foot. That's cool.
I even think Tropic Thunder - Robert Downey Jnr in blackface - was cool when you consider why the character looked like that.
