Drag?

Okay, this may be a controversial subject, but I'm not even sure. I don't want this to become a flame war and hope that we can all be civil.

I have a question that nobody has ever been able to answer to my satisfaction, and I'm wondering if anybody here can answer it. It has to do with drag shows/drag queens/men dressing up as women purely for entertainment purposes. Now, my question does not involve people who honestly feel that they should be the other gender -- like men who feel that they should be women and may or may not have a sex change operation. I am talking only about men who dress up as women for fun or entertainment.

Here is my question: How is a man dressing up as a woman for entertainment any different from, better than or more acceptable than white people dressing up in blackface?
