The phrase "black sheep" is generally considered acceptable in most contexts, as it traditionally refers to someone who is different or stands out from a group, often in a negative way. However, sensitivity to language is important, and some individuals may find the term offensive or problematic due to its historical connotations. It's always best to consider the context and audience when using idiomatic expressions, and when in doubt, opt for more neutral language.
