My understanding has always been that whiteface just doesn't have the same historical significance as blackface. While whiteface can be seen as tasteless, blackface had a very real historical racist meaning for long period of years, and still to this day.
Personally, it doesn't matter to me if someone's in white face or not; I think there are more clever costumes out there, but that's just me. As for blackface, I feel like it's another level. But I'm not exactly an expert on this, being a white kid from New England.
